01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
When you want sushi and drinks in an easygoing izakaya setting, Sushi Ebisu Ebisu Honten is a dependable choice. The experience begins with playful touches, such as selecting chopsticks that come with paper fortunes, before eye-catching, cleverly composed seafood dishes arrive at your table in quick succession.
Signature Creations Layered with Seafood Flavor
The restaurant's headline specialty is the Shrimp and Crab Clash. Piled into a crab shell or set atop nori rolls, generous portions of sweet shrimp, crabmeat, salmon roe, and rich egg yolk come together in an indulgent combination of deep savory richness and natural seafood sweetness. The plump snap of the shrimp pairs with the aromatic sweetness of crab, making it ideal for grazing while sipping a drink.
Savory Rolls and Warm Izakaya Plates
For drinks snacks, the deep-fried natto roll stands out with its distinct personality. The crisp, golden exterior contrasts with the sticky depth of natto and the savory saltiness of spicy cod roe, eating much like tempura and pairing effortlessly with beer or highballs. For hot options, soup dumplings served with a bright, tart shrimp-infused vinegar offer the cozy satisfaction of steaming dim sum between rounds of drinks.
From Black-Vinegar Nigiri to Sea Lettuce Miso Soup
Nigiri here is seasoned with akashari made from black vinegar, featuring accessible staples like lean tuna, sea bream, and squid alongside richer cuts. You can contrast fatty salmon with tender, melt-in-the-mouth premium nigiri, before finishing neatly with a bowl of red miso soup infused with sea lettuce. Weekday late afternoons feature happy hour specials, making the counter and tables equally welcoming for casual early-evening drinks or lively gatherings with friends.
