SUSHITOROBATASUSHIYAMASHINJUKU

One should always look up in Tokyo, so many little restaurant gems can be found on the multi floor skyscrapers. A short walk from Shinjuku station - east exit - is this Sushi & Tempura restaurant where they sourced all their produce (including the delicious sake) from Hokkaido. With a range of din...ner courses ranging from 4500JPY per person to 10,000JPY+ per person - its a great place to have an affordable nice course dinner & introduce friends to Japanese cuisine without breaking the bank. Had the 6600JPY per person course - UNKAI. Adored the silky tasty chawanmushi and the selection of sushi nigiri given - very good selection of fresh fish (pleased there was no squid or octopus given) chosen for the sushi, and was super delighted that the tempura was paired with matcha salt rather than the typical tsuyu sauce. A good range of Japanese drinks are available but I went straight for the nihonshu, and asked for dry recommendations - pleased with the choices given. Would definitely come back to take other friends & family

We visited this Hokkaido restaurant as a group of four and ordered the UnKai Sushi Course (¥6,600), and it was a truly satisfying experience from start to finish. The restaurant interior is thoughtfully designed, with a warm and refined atmosphere that immediately sets the mood for a relaxed meal. ...The pacing of the course was just right—never rushed, never slow. The meal began with chawanmushi that was far from ordinary: delicately topped with shredded crab for extra umami, and inside were pieces of fresh fish that instantly awakened the appetite. It was a wonderful opening. The sushi that followed was beautifully prepared, showcasing the freshness of the seafood, and the tempura dishes were light, crisp, and surprisingly elegant. Each bite felt carefully considered. We also ordered several Hokkaido-exclusive sake options outside the course. Everyone chose a different, charming sake cup, which added a playful and thoughtful touch to the experience—details like this really stood out. To end the meal, we were served sweet Hokkaido melon and warabi mochi, leaving us full and very content. Overall, a well-balanced, high-quality dining experience that we would happily return to.

It was my first time visiting Sushiyama, and after today, I don’t think I can go back to Sushiro anymore. This restaurant features ingredients from Hokkaido, where you can enjoy Hokkaido-sourced seafood, milk, and sake. As for the sushi, I could tell how fresh the sashimi was from the very first bi...te, even with my amateur palate. The three small side dishes were also savory and flavorful, which I think makes them perfect to enjoy with drinks. What I loved the most was their melon milk. It’s made with red-fleshed melon mixed with milk, and of course, everything is from Hokkaido. It was sweet and creamy. They also offer an alcoholic version, so both adults and kids can enjoy it. For people who like sour flavors, the berry milk would be a great choice. It contains haskap, a sour berry that can only be found in Hokkaido. The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed. There were many tourists and businesspeople, but I’d say it’s also perfect for family gatherings. I will definitely bring my mom here next time!

Excellent experience at SUSHI-YAMA Shinjuku! I got the 6000 yen course, which I highly recommend. It was very filling—I wasn’t hungry at all by the end. The sushi were extremely fresh and delicious, and I enjoyed every single piece. The staff takes time to explain how to properly enjoy each sushi (f...or example, with or without soy sauce), which made the experience even better. They also speak a bit of English, which is perfect for foreigners. Special mention to the Red Meat Melon Sour which is great if you like sweet, melon-flavored drinks. I would definitely come back!

I recently visited this restaurant with a group of friends and had a really great experience. We had the "Unkai" course, and it’s a solid choice if you're looking for quality food in Shinjuku that doesn't feel overly formal. The meal was incredibly well-balanced with a lot of variety beyond just th...e fish. Some of the highlights for me were the crab meat custard, which was smooth and flavorful, and the dashi soup-wrapped egg that was perfectly seasoned. As for the sushi itself, there was a great range of pieces that were all fresh and well-prepared. It felt like a very complete meal where every dish had a purpose, and I left feeling perfectly satisfied. The atmosphere is another big plus. It’s a stylish space that feels modern, yet the vibe is still warm enough that you can actually relax and enjoy your conversation. It’s a great spot all around—nice enough for a special occasion, and casual enough for a regular night out. If you’re in the area and want a meal that hits that sweet spot of great service and well-rounded food, I’d definitely recommend giving this place a look!
