Summary

• Hisashi Udatsu of Nakameguro’s Michelin-starred Udatsu Sushi supervises the new HISASHI SUSHI brand
• The restaurant officially opens in Omotesando on April 15, offering both a la carte and course menus
• The dining experience merges traditional Edomae techniques with Tokyo’s modern, rhythmic urban sensibilities

Tokyo’s culinary landscape is evolving as the HISASHI SUSHI restaurant officially opens its doors in Omotesando, bringing a fresh perspective to traditional dining. Supervised by Hisashi Udatsu, the mastermind behind Nakameguro’s renowned Michelin-starred Udatsu Sushi, the new establishment promises to translate the speed and sensitivity of the city into a modern gastronomic experience.

Operating under the conceptual banner of “TOKYO CODE. EDOMAE WISDOM,” the brand elevates sushi into a form of “Dynamic Art.” Rather than relying on surface-level Japanese aesthetics, the space integrates street sensibilities, luxury aesthetics, and urban momentum. The core of the menu highlights a foundational sense of “rhythm” — balancing stillness and motion within the space, service, and culinary execution to create a sharp, contemporary Tokyo expression. Store manager Tomohiro Yanase notes that the establishment aims to inherit the traditions of its predecessor while cultivating a fresh experience alongside its patrons.

Technical attention to ingredients remains paramount. The foundational shari (sushi rice) utilizes organic rice from Kumamoto, nurtured by the filtered natural waters of Aso. This base is precisely seasoned with vinegar from Kyoto’s Iio Jozo, agave powder, and Mataichi salt from Itoshima for an optimal melt-in-the-mouth texture. The flavor profiles are further enhanced by a specialized nikiri glaze made from Itoshima’s Mitsuru soy sauce and house-made salt crafted from fisherman-direct seawater. Offering 23 seats — including 19 counter spots and three standing spaces — the venue provides both a la carte options and course meals for local and international guests.

HISASHI SUSHI officially opens on April 15, with reservations available by phone, OMAKASE, and Tabelog.
