The one star Sushi restaurants from Michelin Guide
There are 18 sushi restaurants in Tokyo obtained one star on the Michelin Guide.
Kurosaki
7-minute walk from Shibuya Station, "Kurosaki" is the restaurant of Mr.Kurosaki who trained at a sushi restaurant in Asakusa for 10 years and in Setagaya for 6 years. Mr. Kurosaki does not train at famous restaurants like many other sushi restaurants’ chef who have won Michelin star. Nevertheless, he has been awarded one star in Michelin. The way, Mr. Kurosaki prepares very carefully control ingredients’ temperature to serve, so that you can feel excellent texture, taste and flavors without any questions, perfectly. The menu is OMAKASE, chef’s selection (29,160 yen with drink included, up to 3 Sake). It doesn't have a very strong impression, but it's the restaurant that makes you want to revisit again and again, once you’ve been there.

Shin
About 15 minutes from Hiroo Station, "Sushi Shin" is the restaurant with a calm atmosphere along the Nisseki Street in Nishiazabu. The owner, Mr. Shintaro Suzuki, loves to eat sushi and has become a sushi chef. It is a type that silently concentrates on work and preserves the traditional Edomae technique. Aji with green onion, perilla and ginger juice is one of the popular menus. The menu is squeezed sushi (8,000 yen) at daytime, sushi and sushi (15,000 yen) at night, and sushi (market price) at night, sushi and sushi (22,000 yen) at night. In addition, 10% service charge will be added. In addition to the counter, there is a small upholstered seat in the store and a table seat for a semi-private room, so it can be used for various purposes such as entertainment, meetings and anniversaries.

Nakamura
Nakamura is a clean sushi restaurant located about a 5-minute walk from Roppongi Station Exit 2. In addition to the land pattern of Roppongi, there is also an easy-to-understand index of 1 Michelin star, so there are very many foreign visitors. The master learned the Japanese food and hospitality at Kichicho, Koraibashi, and then became independent. As it is not Edomae sushi, it offers sushi as if it were kaiseki cuisine, as it is not practiced for nigiri. The restaurant is open only at night, and is mainly gripped. The knob is not the main because I trained at "Kikyote". The entrusted course is 17,280 yen. A 5% service charge will be added. It's a place where you can relax and enjoy yourself in a relaxed atmosphere, so why not give it a little treat?

Imamura
About 10 minutes on foot from Shirokane-Takanawa Station, "Imamura" is a simple sushi restaurant located in front of Kitasato University Hospital. The owner, Kentaro Imamura, has a unique background in working in Brussels, Belgium, as a chef for Japanese cuisine. The characteristic is the shari, which is a blend of old rice cooked hard in the Nambu Iron Hagama. Only L-shaped counter seats are available in the store. The menu is sushi (7,000 yen), sushi and knobs (10,800 yen) for lunch. At night, it is only Omakase (14,500 yen). It is a shop where you can enjoy sushi at a relatively cheap price compared to other shops, and Mr. Takahashi, the owner of the popular Sushi Takahashi restaurant that has a shop in Ginza, also recommends it. Is that right?

Sushi Yuu
3-minute walk from Roppongi Station, "Sushi Yuu" is the shop of Mr. Ozaki, a trained general trained in "Izumi" and "Sushi Kanesaka" in Kamakura and "Rin Sushi" in Kagurazaka. The characteristic of this store is "the brightness of the general" that everyone answers. The brightness, the talk power, and the grip that you have make you smile. Also, not only the grip, but the products that the general devises will come out one after another. There are two types of menus. It seems that there are 10,000 yen at daytime and 15,000 yen and 20,000 yen at night. Mr. Ozaki's recommendation is the 15,000 yen course. If you have a look, please start from there. This is because the 15,000 yen course is good for cospa with sushi of 20,000 yen or more. The amount is so large that men can't eat it. You may find it difficult to enter at other shops, but at this shop, the general will warmly welcome you.

Ichikawa
About 15 minutes on foot from Kaminoge Station, you will find "Sushi Ichikawa" at the intersection of "Nakamachi 4-chome" on Komazawa Street. There is no sign on the shop. This store, the now famous Michelin three-star Ginza's super famous store "Araki" (currently in London), was the site when it opened in Kaminoge. The owner, Katsumi Ichikawa, trained for 7 years at the famous Kyoto cuisine “Kikunoi” and then for 4 years at “Araki”. After that, I set up a shop on the site of "Araki" independently. While following the traditional Edomae sushi technique, there are also unique gems that utilize Japanese cooking experience. The grip is a small, nice shari for women. Therefore, it seems that there are many uses for dates and for customers between women. The entrusted course is between 27,000 yen and 32,400 yen. Reservation is accepted via the Internet, so why not try using it at an important time?

Sugita
Nihonbashi Tachibanacho Miyako Sushi" is located near Toyabashi police box, 6 minutes walk from Higashi Nihonbashi station and 5 minutes walk from Bakuro Yokoyama station. The master, Mr. Sugita, is from the well-established Miyako Sushi in Kayabacho. I opened this restaurant in 2004 after 12 years of training in Miyako Sushi. Even on the word-of-mouth site, since it is always ranked within the 5th place in the sushi ranking in Tokyo, it is difficult to make a reservation because it is not possible to make a reservation only by telephone reception. It may be nearly a year away. There is a 15,000 yen course that you can choose, and the good cost performance is one of the reasons for its popularity. The shari of this shop uses a mixture of red vinegar and rice vinegar, and the vinegar is moderately stimulated, and the grains are a little hard, but they are loosely gripped and they unravel in your mouth. I would like to go expecting the good balance of shari and the goodness of the skill that does not show weakness even in March when it is said that fish are weak.

Isshin
About 15 minutes on foot from Asakusa Station, Isshin is a famous restaurant where you can enjoy authentic Edomae sushi standing in the Kannondo Ura behind the Sensoji Temple. The menu is only a hand-grip course (6,000 yen, 10,000 yen) and a liquor and hand-grip course (15,000 yen). The lowest price is 10 pieces and it is 6,000 yen, so it is a little cheaper than the shops introduced so far, and the cost performance is good. Of course we also recommend starting with the knob. The specialty is boiled abalone from June to September. It is excellent whether you eat it with a knob or a handful. Also, although it can be said that there aren't many types of liquor in itself, there are some that go well with nigiri, so it seems to be recommended for those who like liquor. By the way, please note that "Ishin", which is famous as a sushi restaurant in the Kanto IT Software Health Insurance Society (ITS) facility, is another store in Tameike Sanno.

Fukumoto
Fukumoto is located on the first basement floor of a building in a quiet residential area, about a 10-minute walk from the south exit of Shimokitazawa Station. This is a store opened by Toshio Fukumoto, who served as the board chief of "Sushi Dokorozawa". The owner eagerly tells the story of the fish, and also uploads the stories of the day on his website. The particular taste is sharp, and it is finished with algae salt and red vinegar. It seems that he uses old rice and holds it while adjusting the temperature and water content according to the material. Omakase is a 14,000 yen course with 6 to 7 snacks and 10 to 11 grips. (In addition, a service charge of about 5% will be charged separately.) Inside the store there is a tatami room with a total of 9 seats for up to 6 people. Also, this shop is famous for its delicious conger eel, so conger lovers may find it worth visiting.

Kiraku
1-minute walk from Kyodo Station, "Kiraku" is a shop where you can enter with peace of mind even for the first time. This store is also a place with many regular customers, but since it is a slightly warm Edokko owner, I feel that I was able to get in there at first glance. The menu is omakase (9,000 yen and up), 8 sushi (4,000 yen and up), 12 sushi (6,000 yen and up). Even though it is a Michelin star, you can enjoy it at a reasonable price, so COSPA is good. Also, when I visit this shop, I tend to ask for a seafood bowl (1,050 yen) that is offered for lunch, but it seems that people who have a handful of pickles are more satisfied. The seafood bowl itself is delicious, but the shari finished with red vinegar at the temperature of human skin is good. If you are nervous at a high threshold, why not try "Kiraku" for the first time?

Sushi Arai
5-minute walk from Ginza Station, "Sushi Arai" is the shop of Yuichi Arai, who has trained at the famous sushi restaurants "Ginza Kyubei" and "Sushi Takumi". Mr. Arai was taught the basics of Edomae at "Ginza Kyubei" and at "Sushi Takumi" where he served customers. In other words, this shop is the best of both stores. As a result, the store opened in 2015, which is still recent, but it has become so popular that it can't be booked quickly. Well, the menu of "Sushi Arai" is entrusted. You can enjoy from 15,000 yen in the daytime to 30,000 yen at night. (If you use a private room for both, it costs 10,800 yen separately.) It is also what Arai puts the most effort, and tuna is very popular with customers. Arai-ryu is not only about purchasing from various places, but also trying to balance the taste of tuna by changing the seasoning of the rice. Even those who are not so particular about tuna will come to "Sushi Arai" and they will be surprised at the difference from the tuna they have eaten until now.

Iwa
About 8 minutes on foot from Ginza Station, “Ginza Iwa” is a store headed by Mr. Yasushi Iwao, who became independent from Sushi Kanesaka. Mr. Iwa is a quiet person, but that's why he carefully watches the movements of his customers and takes care. Also, since I have a friendly personality when talking to him, I will not be so discouraged. Mr. Iwa also opened "Ginza Iwa" in Hong Kong. In addition, the charcoal-grilled meat dish “Ginza Iwa” will be set up to show the face of the owner. The egg broth that is served at the end is exquisite, sweet and smooth, and you can enjoy it as a dessert. If you are a sushi connoisseur who likes egg oysters, you should try it at least once. “Ginza Iwa” is a store that has been relocated from 2012 to 2016, but it continues to maintain its delicious taste. Why don't you come visit us?

Harutaka
8-minute walk from Ginza Station, 青空 read "Harutaka". This store is Mr. Aozora Takahashi's store, which is independent from Jiro Sukiyabashi. Reservations were flooded with people who had trained at "Sukiyabashi Jiro" who won 3 stars in Michelin and "Sushizen" which is one of the delicious sushi restaurants in Ginza. We are. Due to its popularity, the price is a little higher, but you can enjoy more sushi than the price. The menu of "Aozora" is basically only entrusted to you, but it seems that you can choose between a grip-only course and a knob-grip course. The popular conger eel used in Tsushima is Tsushima, and you'll feel like you've melted the moment you put it into your mouth with a fluffy mouth that you have never experienced before. I don't think it's easy to make a reservation, but it's well worth a visit. Especially if you like Confucius, why don't you visit and experience the new experience of Confucius.

Kuwano
6-minute walk from Ginza Station, "Sushi Kuwano" is a restaurant of Mr. Tatsuya Kuwano, who trained in the world of Japanese cuisine and was the head chef at a sushi restaurant in Akasaka. The traditional Edomae sushi, combined with the delicate techniques unique to Japanese food, make this restaurant a versatile snack. The reason why you can enjoy delicacies such as Confucius liver may be because the owner is from Japanese food. The menu is a course of choice (25,000-30,000 yen). The sushi is often seasoned in a simple way, and it is made from two kinds of red vinegar-cut shari. It's a little small and softly gripped, so if you like a firm shari, it may be a little unsatisfactory. In addition, the popular gari is homemade, and it is marinated in the season of new ginger and sliced each time to spread the scent. Many people come to the store with women, and it is said that the seasoning is also favored by women, so why not bring a woman when visiting?

Kanesaka
The Sushi Kanesaka Ginza Main Store is located on the basement floor of the neon-shining Ginza 8-chome multi-purpose building, a 5-minute walk from Ginza Station. Shinji Kanasaka from “Sushi Saito” introduced at 3 stars is an independent store at the age of 28. Stores are located in Ginza and Palace Hotel Tokyo. Also, it seems that they now have stores not only in Japan but also overseas. There are 16 counter seats and one semi-private room for 3 to 5 people. There are three types of menus (5,000 yen, 10,000 yen, 15,000 yen) that are priced according to the price in the daytime, and there are courses (30,000 yen and up) at night. It is obvious from the website of the shop, but anyway, the push of this shop is not only delicious, but also skillful and beautiful work. That is why I want Mr. Kanasaka to have sushi after firmly impressing his movements and technique on his eyes. Then the deliciousness doubles or triples. There are all seats except the private rooms, but only some seats can see Kanasaka's work from the front. I would like you to see it there.

Kojima
3-minute walk from Ginza station, "Sushi Kojima" is a store that opened independently in 2016 by the manager of the "Sushi Kanesaka" Palace Hotel Tokyo store for 4 years. I was the owner of the Sushi Kanesaka store, and the nigiri is delicious without any complaints. Nevertheless, you can enjoy lunch at an affordable price (from 6,000 yen). The course is served with snacks that you can fully enjoy with sake and about 15 sushi. The shari is small and it is seasoned with a strong acidity with a blend of red and white vinegar. Yamabi is also delicious in itself, and can be used as a snack for sake. Prices start at 6,000 yen for the day and 22,000 yen for the night. Whichever way you go, you can enjoy sushi and snacks well, so why not visit?

Hachizaemon
5-minute walk from Ginza Station, Sushi Hachizaemon is a Michelin star-winning store originally located in Shin-Oyasu. When I was in Shin-Oyasu, it was said to be the most delicious sushi restaurant in Kanagawa. The menu of "Sushi Hachizaemon" is an entrusted course (18,000 yen). There are 3-5 kinds of knobs, 10 pieces of grip, and 2 kinds of scrolls. There are several kinds of sashimi rather than a single dish. Since the squeeze is limited to seasonal fish, different flavors are used to entertain the same fish in two different ways. As for shari, we use Ishinomaki's naturally cultivated rice without pesticides, and the vinegar and salt are modest and the delicious taste of rice is emphasized. Why don't you try tasting the handfuls of a shopkeeper who has been a sushi chef for 40 years? As long as the conditions are met, it seems that it is possible to charter, so it is recommended to consult when you are going with a large number of people.

Ichiyanagi
5-minute walk from Ginza Station, "Sushiya Ichiyanagi" is a shop that attracts customers not only with general material but also with rare material and the technique "sinking sushi" that only sushi chefs can do. The owner, Kazuya Ichiyanagi, trained at "Ginza Kyubei" and served as the owner of the Michelin-starred sushi restaurant, "Mayu". And "sinking sushi" means that when it is placed, it sinks because air is contained between the rice. This is delicious because it has a sense of unity with the material. There are Omakase hand-grip course (5,000 yen, 8,000 yen, 12,000 yen, 15,000 yen) and Omakase hand-grip/knob course (13,000 yen-) during the day, and Omakase hand-grip course (10,000 yen, 15,000 yen) and Omakase hand-grip course at night. It is a knob course (15,000 yen, 18,000 yen, 20,000 yen). As for the handful, shari is salting red vinegar. The homepage says it's a little shabby, but it's not so. The temperature is warmer than human skin. First of all, why don't you try "sinking sushi" with a course of 5,000yen hand-picked sushi.
