Chuo City, Tokyo, Japan｜Standing Sushi Nemuro Hanamaru Ginza Branch

It's one of the standing sushi bars that I go to. In the sea of Edomae (Tokyo style) sushi, this one along with Kantaro that I go to are Ezomae (Hokkaido style) sushi. They offer a great quality-to-price ratio as the neta are fresh, expertly prepared, and they respectfully present the flavors of the ingredients itself. As opposed to their sit-down counterpart on the 10F which serves it by the pair, they serve it by the piece. If you are lucky, they might be serving Taraba-gani no Fundoshi (king crab under belly), Taraba-gani no Sotoko (king crab roe) or baby scallop miso soup. Try getting there before lunch or dinner rush as you might have to stand in line for over 30min and they'll cut off the line when it's over 7-8 people long. If you have difficulty navigating the menu, go with omakase (recommendations) but make sure to stop when you get full. If you don't want to stand in line or standing up to eat, try the one on 10F which gives you a numbered ticket, but the wait can be excessively long.

The standing sushi brand of Nemuro Hanamaru Sushi, located in B2 of Tokyu Plaza (the conveyer belt brand is located on the 10th floor). Quick and delicious, with friendly sushi chefs preparing the delicious morsels in front of you.

Good, but The queue space is limited, so you’ll have to walk around in circles like a vulture. Not worth the wait if the queue is at full capacity. If you can’t read Japanese, don’t bother. They don’t have English menu and you need to write in Japanese what you want to order on the piece of paper
