About this place
One diner recalled a meal that shifted in mood from seasonal conger eel served as a drinking snack to sushi. The eel, served with plum, left a stronger impression for its own flavour than for the plum accompaniment. After choosing dishes à la carte that evening, the diner said they would like to try the omakase next time.
Sushi Suzuwaka also offers an omakase selection of 10 pieces of sushi. The listed price is 5,000 yen, and the menu notes that it varies by season. If deciding what to order feels difficult, you can make the omakase the centre of the meal and add a few dishes that catch your eye. One diner ordered extra items after the omakase, including squid with salt, marinated tuna, medium-fatty tuna, alfonsino, scallop and eel. Another watched the chef prepare the sushi and thought they would choose omakase on their next visit. You can pick each piece yourself or leave the sequence to the chef, depending on your mood.
For a dish between pieces of sushi, options include grilled eel and a fritter of small shellfish and mitsuba. A diner who began with the grilled eel spoke warmly of its pairing with Japanese pepper, while another said they ordered the fritter again on a later visit. The menu lists them at 1,518 yen and 858 yen, respectively. One guest also recalled sharing the small-shellfish fritter with a friend and finding the sushi reasonably priced. The menu offers flexibility, whether you want to break up the sushi with a dish or let the omakase set the pace of the meal.
The menu’s signature is natural bluefin tuna delivered directly from Toyosu Market. The restaurant notes that the freshness and quality are particularly evident in the lean cut; a piece of sushi is listed at 198 yen. One visitor also singled out the natural bluefin tuna as a recommended dish, making it a tempting first choice. The sake selection is listed as 4 chilled varieties, 1 varieties served warm and 1 seasonal labels. The restaurant says the sake is chosen with its harmony with the food in mind. If you are ordering dishes individually, you can choose a drink to go with your sushi or snacks. The menu lists the price at 780 yen.
Counter seating is available, and the restaurant is described as suitable for solo diners. Dinner is served Tuesday to Sunday from 17 to 23; the restaurant is closed on Mondays. Reservations are accepted, and booking is recommended for dinner, so consider reserving ahead if you are planning an evening meal.
