Taito City, Tokyo, Japan｜Hinatomaru Kaminarimon

Amazing place! I was looking at the restaurant when a nice woman called me in. Of course I obliged and turns out she wasn’t a hostess, but actually one of the customers😅 I think this goes to show the friendly neighborhood atmosphere of the place. The restaurant has room for about 10 people standing, and was probably the best experience I could’ve asked for as my first sushi place in Japan. The food is delicious and reasonable and comes out really quickly. The staff and clientele are really nice and I had such a blast and laughed most of the meal with everyone there, even though we didn’t speak the same language. I highly recommend anyone looking for a sushi experience in Japan to bookmark this place and bee line to it.

An amazing sushi bar which made your orders right in front of you. We waited for about 20 minutes outside as it was full of locals which could only mean it was good! Was certainly worth the wait and we were spoilt for choice. Our only experience of anywhere like this but we loved every second as Brits!! You have to stand to eat your sushi but that almost made it feel more authentic.

A truly authentic standing sushi bar. However, they also had an English menu available. Being in the home of sushi, Japan, even the cheapest sushi here tastes better than sushi three times the price in London. If this place were in the UK, I'd be extremely happy.
