Kikko Zushi

亀甲鮨

Scout Verified

When a three-Michelin-star chef visits his hometown, this is where he eats sushi. 50 years of no-nonsense local fish at the counter — Naruto ika, seasonal uni, and the unchanged battera recipe tell the story. Tabelog 3.54.

50+ year old establishment. Famous as the go-to sushi spot of Kanda Hiroyuki (three-Michelin-star chef, Tokyo, Tokushima native). Naruto ika, local uni, and a battera/maki recipe unchanged for half a century. Unpretentious atmosphere.

Things to Consider

Smoking allowed inside. Second-floor banquet seating exists. Very casual — closer to beloved neighborhood sushi than polished omakase. Counter is 9 seats but total is 19.
