Shinagawa City, Tokyo, Japan｜Arimura

The food was very delicious. We could see chef made it so seriously and waiters with devoted attitude to serve us even they couldn’t speak language other than japanese properly! Price is also much more than reasonable to provide such quality of meal

The chef doesn’t speak English but very nice to foreigners. They have an omakase set for the foreigners if you cannot communicate with them. Just pay 5300yen (drinks are not included) and you can enjoy the meal.

We were very lucky, because we were lost in Tokyo around Oimachi station, the last day before going back home to Italy, and we were hungry, so we decided to enter this place following google suggestion... there was one guy of the staff who spoke english, that helped us a lot, and the owners welcomed us. The food was really fresh, very high quality, and it was with no doubt the best sushi we ever had, but the point here is that not only the food was outstanding, but the whole situation was out of ordinary. We ended up talking with the other guests, some just two words (literally), given we don't speak a single word in japanese, and then talking with another guest in english (how lucky!!). The point is that, little by little, everything changed... from being in a "restaurant" the way we "western" are used to, to having being accepted and invited to a friend's house and join a small party, but always with that common shared respect and balance between each other. The two sushi chefs were amazing, they gave us very good attention, and served us that amazing sushi little by little, carefully and friendly. The staff member who spoke english was really patient, very kind, and explained us everything we needed. His help was amazing: without him, we couldn't have eaten there, for sure. We also ended up chatting with him outside, while going back home, and we found him to be a very special person. My wife was so happy, too, she still often reminds how nice the chef's and staff were with us and how good that place was. If some day we'll go back in japan, we'll for sure go back to this place. Highly recommended!
