01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
An eye-catching platter piled high with seasonal seafood is one of the standout experiences at Ooiri Sushi in Asagaya-Minami. Arranged when requested during advance booking, the assortment features an abundant variety of fish and shellfish—including fatty tuna (otoro) and abalone—offering a luxurious chance to compare contrasting flavors on a single plate. Alongside chilled or warmed sake and standard bottled beer, the drink selection includes guarana soda, a distinctive soft drink popular in Hokkaido.
Hearty Nigiri and Diverse Rolled Sushi
When a thorough sushi meal is in order, the Tokujo Nigiri platter is a reliable choice. Arranged in an attractive fan shape, the generous set typically features around 20 pieces, accompanied by soup and a starter of nikogori (jellied fish broth) to leave diners well satisfied. The menu also offers a wide range of rolled sushi, from Edomae futomaki packed with prawn, conger eel, and tamagoyaki, to the house medium roll blending fatty tuna with salmon roe, as well as slender rolls like anago with cucumber or squid with perilla leaves.
An Unpretentious Space and Tips for Booking
Inside, a classic sushi counter sits alongside table seating and a raised tatami area at the back, fostering a comfortable setting suitable for solo diners and small groups alike. Because the chef prepares all the sushi single-handedly, the restaurant often fills up. Reserving in advance and discussing dish requests beforehand ensures both a seat and smooth service.
