Sakae Sushi

Takeishi is known for its izakayas and bars, but this is the place to go if you feel like eating sushi before you go drinking or to round off the night—at least, that’s the thinking behind this standing room-only eatery. It’s not a spot for a leisurely meal, but it’s perfect for a snack. Eating here will bring you closer to feeling like a true local! When I come here, I choose my order based on how hungry I’m feeling, and also depending on the recommended dishes of the day, which vary depending on the availability of ingredients.
