SUSHI - Sushi Tomikawa

Tucked on the second floor of a quiet building just one minute from Kichijoji Station, 鮨 富かわ (Sushi Tomikawa) is a modern sushi counter that has become one of Tokyo’s most talked-about reservations since its 2023 opening. Led by a talented chef who spent over a decade honing his craft at a globally acclaimed Michelin-starred sushi institution, the restaurant blends classic Edo-mae technique with fresh creative flair and a touch of Western sensibility.

Premium seasonal seafood from Toyosu and beyond meets house-made red-vinegar rice in an intimate 20-item omakase course that surprises and delights with every bite. Expect melt-in-the-mouth aged tuna, sweet uni, pristinely prepared seasonal fish, and creative signatures like the rich ankimo nestled in a delicate steamed bun. Thoughtful appetizers—such as beautifully balanced chawanmushi or Western-inspired herb pairings—showcase the chef’s playful yet precise style.

The serene Japanese-modern interior, with its warm cedar counter and just eight seats, feels like a private sanctuary. Perfect for dates, special celebrations, or a solo treat, Sushi Tomikawa delivers world-class sushi with warmth, innovation, and exceptional value—making it a true hidden gem in Kichijoji.
