An exclusive membership-based premium sushi experience
Sushi Isshin is a sushi restaurant that offers a premium sushi experience under special rules. It features fresh, high-quality ingredients, with each dish leaving a memorable taste. Additionally, the attentive service provides a blissful time that cannot be found elsewhere. This hidden gem is a must-visit for those looking to spend a special moment.
Counter seating is recommended.
You have to be a member of a certain health insurance association in Tameike-Sanno to make a reservation.
We visited with 6 of our eating buddies and had a blissful time.
The most unforgettable dishes were the pickled tuna, flat clams, kohada, and the sea urchin and salmon roe on the top of the list.
We ordered the Nigiri Renewal Course, which is only 3,240 yen if you are a member of the union, but the drink prices are also very reasonable, including a medium draft beer for 370 yen! (By the way, the sea urchin gunkan maki and nigiri on the edge are a la carte).
(By the way, the sea urchin gunkanmaki and nigiri on the edge are a la carte.) The sushi is great to eat while sitting at the counter and watching the chefs cutting the sushi! The service is also great, with the chef asking you when you would like your sushi served, the size of the rice, and how much or little wasabi you would like!
I made a reservation in mid-September, and the restaurant is scheduled to open on November 4, so it's no wonder it's so popular. I would like to come here four times a year to enjoy seasonal fish.
This is a sushi restaurant where only certain health insurance association members and their dependents can make reservations.
Since I am a member of that particular health insurance association, I made a reservation.
Special course (member: 7,000 yen, general: 11,500 yen)
During the period when salmon roe is available (mid-September to early January), I visit the restaurant every month and enjoy their delicious sushi.
The price is unbelievably reasonable for a grilled fish, sashimi, and nigiri of the season's best fish!
You can also order beer and popular brands of sake at almost cost price.
I still think the December sushi renewal is the strongest.
On this day, four of us visited at the counter.
Bluefin reef squid
Tail Lipped Mussel
Flounder
Flathead flounder
Ootoro (fatty tuna)
Pickled red fish
Medium fatty tuna
Kohada
Diced Mackerel
Natural shrimp
Smoked yellowtail
Mini bowl of rice topped with salmon roe and sea urchin (large portion)
Anago (eel)
Miso soup
Dessert
The bill was 7,000 yen, a little higher than usual, and included sake such as brewer Kuheiji (special order), Tobiroki, Ki, and Kuroryu, as well as highballs and beer.
Personally, I think that the colder it gets, the better the fish tastes. And this time of year is the best season to eat salmon roe on rice.
Only members of a certain health insurance company can make reservations, and even among those members, the competition for reservations has intensified, so it is now extremely difficult to make a reservation at this restaurant.
I heard that Shota-san's restaurant, which was the second best, has opened in Azabu-juban, so it would be nice if the customers would disperse.
Even though only members of a certain health insurance association and their dependents can make reservations, the restaurant is extremely popular and calls are connected over 100 times each month.
●Shinshin nigiri course (3,240 yen for union members, 5,400 yen for the general public)
The contents on this day were,
Anago no nanbanzuke (appetizer), white squid, kasugo (baby sea bream), sawara (smoked), chutoro (medium fatty tuna), otoro (large fatty tuna), maguro (pickled), gunkan-maki (gunkan-maki) with anko (gizzard), kohada (yellowtail), saba (mackerel), bonito, tiger prawn, uni/ikura-don, dashimaki tamago (rolled egg), conger eel, torotaku/dried gourd roll, bowl, betarazuke (sweetened pickled vegetables), dessert (chestnut sherbet).
If you can enjoy sushi from the Michelin Guide ★★ affiliated restaurant of "Kanesaka" at such a reasonable price, it must be difficult to make a reservation.
In addition, draft beer (medium) is 300 yen and popular Japanese sake is available at surprisingly low prices. I'll have to call again to make a reservation!
An affiliate of Sushi Kanesaka, a Michelin Guide ★★★ and Eat Log 2019 Bronze restaurant in Ginza.
The restaurant is a benefit for a certain health insurance union, so reservations can only be made by union members.
●An all-new nigiri course (3,000 yen; 5,000 yen for visitors).
The photo shows the lineup in late March, but you can enjoy a variety of seasonal ingredients of the season.
On this day, the tuna from Oma was a bonanza and too delicious.
The sardine rolled with nori (2,000 yen), which we also had a la carte, was a perfect complement to the sake.
Personally, I am a big fan of the salmon roe marinated in soy sauce that appears every year from late September, and I visit almost every month until early January when this menu item is available.
I could usually get reservations until a few years ago, but for the past two years, it has been difficult to call for reservations and the second round (meetings after 7:00 p.m.) is difficult to get through, so I think I mostly use the first round (from 5:00 p.m.) on weekdays.
The season for delicious salmon roe has come again this year, so we paid a visit to this restaurant.
(Only certain health insurance members and their dependents can make reservations at this restaurant.)
I have been here since late March, so it has been a little more than half a year since I last visited, but the lineup of chefs has changed dramatically.
On this day, we were served by a chef whom we had never met before.
The course was a new nigiri course (union members: 3,000 yen, general public: 5,000 yen).
The contents are as follows,
Bluefin reef squid
Yellowtail
Yellowtail
Yellowtail, medium fatty tuna
Pickled Tuna
Ootoro
Gunkanmaki with Ankimo and Iburi ginger
Kohada
Diced Mackerel
Bonito
Shako
Mini sea urchin and salmon roe bowl (with a big bowl of rice)
Omelette
Anago (conger eel)
Toro Takumaki
Bowl of rice
Dessert
I think the most impressive dish was the angoimo gunkanmaki, which was so delicious that the sake pitch had to go up!
Of course, the salmon roe was a stable taste ^_^!
Visiting with four people, we ordered a bottle of wine, and the bill was about 6,000 yen.
Seriously, it was a god price.
Hi there, Mr. New! It's been years 🤔
I was very satisfied with the food and the quantity 😊🍣.
I was able to make a reservation for the next month after the second call was answered, even though I couldn't get through to them!
Top-notch sushi at an unbeatable price at this restaurant @ Akasaka
This is a branch of the famous Sushi Kanesaka. This sushi restaurant is only open to Kanto IT health insurance members and their companions. The menu includes a tuna comparison, tiger prawns, Hokkaido sea urchin, sea bream, and seasonal haruko (haruko), as well as steamed egg custard with soy milk and sea bream milt. ❗️ The lineup shown in the photo with bowls for the membership price of 5,400 yen is amazing 😆😆😆. Soft drinks are only 155 yen ❗️ and of course very popular since they are so cost-effective. It's hard to make reservations. If I have a chance, I would like to go again 😋.
Tameike Sanno is the place to get the best taste at the best price.
This is a sushi restaurant affiliated with the well-known Sushi Kanesaka family. The course we have updated this time costs 5,800 yen including tax and service charge. ❗️ It is amazing that you can enjoy it at a white wooden counter. Drinks are almost at cost. Even if you eat and drink a lot, you will feel like you have gained a lot. Unfortunately, it is only for Kanto IT health insurance subscribers and their companions. No wonder it's so hard to get a reservation 💦.
