Exquisite sushi at a long-established restaurant founded in 1955
『Sushi Sasaya』

We are introducing 『Sushi Sasaya』, located a 7-minute walk from Waseda Station.
This 60-year-old establishment is a renowned restaurant where everything delicious comes together: not only sushi crafted by seasoned artisans, but also à la carte dishes made with carefully selected fresh seafood and fine sake curated by the owner, a sake sommelier.

What is Sasaya’s signature “Shisobei Sushi”?

The specialty of “Sushi Sasaya” is its original nigiri, “Shisobei Sushi.” These nigiri are wrapped in flavorful shiso (perilla) and are offered in four varieties: vinegared baby sea bream, shrimp, shiitake, and narazuke pickles. With a light, refreshing taste, it’s a popular dish with many fans. You can, of course, order the in-house “Assorted Shisobei Sushi” (1600 yen), and it’s also available online. It can be stored frozen, making it ideal as a takeaway gift or present.

Fresh seasonal seafood in every season
Tuna, in particular, is a must-try

“Sushi Sasaya” makes no compromises in sourcing, purchasing fresh fish from the Tokushima fish market, including catches from the Naruto Strait, as well as procuring fresh fish shipped directly from various regions. In particular, they are committed to high-quality tuna, which is served in various dishes such as nigiri, rolls, and sashimi.
