3 Best Standing Sushi in Tokyo

The 3 Best Standing Sushi Spots in Tokyo
Exploring Tokyo’s "Tachigui" (standing) sushi scene is the ultimate way to enjoy gourmet quality without the high-end price tag or the long wait times.
1. Maguroya Kurogin (Tsukiji Outer Market): The ultimate destination for tuna lovers. Located in the heart of the historic market, they specialize in Pacific Bluefin Tuna. Their bestseller set (¥3,800) features Kamatoro, Otoro, and Chutoro that melt in your mouth. Pro-tip: Order their limited-quantity Special Tuna Roll (4 pieces for ¥1,500) by 10:30 AM for the perfect takeout lunch!
2. Standing Sushi Misaki (Shinjuku): Known for its unique red vinegar rice made from 2-year fermented sake lees. This traditional seasoning gives the sushi a deep umami flavor that pairs perfectly with oily fish. To get the best value, always order a set menu rather than a la carte—you’ll get a curated, high-quality experience for much less.
3. Uogashi Nihonichi (Shinjuku): A high-speed, authentic Edomae-style experience. This spot is perfect for a quick, affordable lunch where you can watch the incredible speed of the chefs. They serve pieces on a bamboo leaf, offering premium fresh catches at "fast-food" prices.
Bonus Track: We actually got a little lost trying to find the famous Standing Sushi Misaki. We ended up at their sister shop, Kaiten Sushi Misaki instead! It’s the same great quality and that signature red vinegar rice, but with a conveyor belt and seats. Honestly? After all that walking in Shinjuku, we didn't mind the sit-down break at all!"
