Sushi Takashima

Ichi-go ichi-e We had the sashimi and sushi menu (lunch menu B) and sat at the bar. The service was friendly and very polite, as usual in Japan. It was the quality of the sushi that blew us away! Very fresh, balanced and I felt the chef chose the order of sushi pieces masterfully. Highly recommend!

4.4 - This sushi restaurant is run by a lovely family who are very friendly to their customers. Since they knew me as a foreign traveller, they explained the menu carefully so that all costs and surcharges were understood - very transparent!! If you visit Higashi Chaya District, this would be one of good places to enjoy a delicious meal during your trip.

We arrived without a reservation on a Sunday right before opening. The chef welcomed us and served the 8 piece omakaze experience. The various sushi were delicious and beautifully presented. The plum sake was very tasteful and paired well with the meal. One of the best sushi I have had so far. Finally, the ice cream dessert had great flavors (vanilla, Japanese tea, ginger and cinnamon) and finished the meal well. We paid around 18,000¥ in total for two people.

Amazing sushi and sake! The knowledgeable and skilled chef prepared the pieces right in front of us, not only with speed, but delicate handling as well. He presented each one and gave great descriptions in English. An absolute gem.

Sushi at its best … in Takayama. We had an very enjoyable dinner at Sushi Takashima (Couse B with 7 Sushi types). The Sushi Master prepared before our eyes one dish after the other with his skilful hands, each with a distinct flavour. A memorable dinner!

I loved this omakase experience. Everyone at the restaurant was very welcoming, especially to this foreigner that had been turned away from 4 different restaurants for lacking a reservation. Going to dinner in Japan is like going to someone's home, so it can be intimidating without proper planning, but everyone was so kind and make me feel very comfortable. I had amazing sushi and highly recommend checking this place out. This is a great spot if you are looking for high-quality omakase, authentic experience with a welcoming staff that goes above and beyond for their patrons. It's very reasonably priced as well, so I appreciated not having to fork $200+ dollars for a snotty experience (I'm from NY and get that enough).

We walked in off the street after reading the great reviews. We had no reservation but the chef was kind enough to offer us a private room. We ordered a set meal with appetizer, chef’s choice sashimi and sushi. Everything was delicious! The serverwas so kind and took time to explain what each fish was and how to eat it (soy sauce, no soy sauce, wasabi only, etc). If you want to sit at the bar, make a reservation. 10/10 would recommend
