MK Guide Recommends
Takumi Shingo provides an intimate omakase experience defined by quiet discipline and deep respect for Edomae tradition. Tucked away in a side street in Minami-Aoyama, the ten-seat counter is run by Shingo Takumi, a former apprentice of legendary chef Kanesaka. Each course is served with focused timing—seasonal nigiri, tsukemono, and subtly cooked dishes—designed to highlight the natural balance of aged fish and perfectly seasoned rice. The space is quiet and refined, with little separation between chef and guest. While reservations are essential and English is limited, the hospitality shines through every gesture. For those seeking precision over spectacle, this is one of Tokyo’s most sophisticated sushi spots.
