I had forgotten to post this up when I got back from Yokohama. We’ve talked about this place before as its a favorite of TSG Staffers – Uogashi Standing Sushi Bar in Tokyo Station. Ultra reasonable prices for Tokyo and fresh and delicious fish. You just call out what you want and they make it for you right in front of you. There is always a lineup at this place but its worth the wait which is usually not long since people don’t lounge around after eating because they have to stand. As part of the Tokyo Station lifestyle its just eat and go on the run.
While on the way to Yokohama and the hot rod show I just had to take my brother as I know he had never stood up at a sushi bar.
Somehow I always end up with this same guy above making our sushi.
No chopsticks required… just pick it up and take it down with one bite… sure speeds things up! Below are a few of the favorites of Tourspecgolfer and Tourspecgirl so I just had to take pictures to post here. Toro Salmon Aburi with ponzu on top:
Yaki Gesso with Mayonnaise on top:
And currently in season SANMA with a bit of fresh green onion and ginger on top:
how much average price per plate against sit down sushi bar? Curiosity.
You can actually see the prices per piece in some of te pictures. Start from 75 yen and up. Very reasonable for Tokyo station.
Yum my favorite! Yaki Geso Mayo!
I am hungry just looking at the pics.
