I followed rule 1 for picking a restaurant in a foreign country which is go where you see the most locals. I tried the tuna platter which came with eight large pieces of tuna sushi, miso soup, and an appetizer. The wait was about 15 minutes at 530 PM on a Saturday. It was the best sushi I've ever had....

the only sushi experience I've had that was better than Umegaoka was at the Tsukiji fish market itself -- Umegaoka is simply excellent - the sushi is freshest of the fresh, you get plenty of it and the proof is in the lines which start getting long around 7pm every night -- if you're in the Akasaka area, there's no...

While few people in the restaurant speak English, they did have a menu with photographs and some English and were very helpful despite my lack of Japanese. I sat at... More

Umegaoka is great! They have very tasty sushi. Yes, they do not have as much selection as some other places, but instead of trying to overwhelm you with lots of choices they focus on what actually tastes good! Most of the Sushi they do have is very good, though maybe some people who are used to eating Americanized sushi won't... More

We used to go to their headquarters in Midorigaoka, Odakyu Line. Like the HQ, the sushi served here is not sophisticated. However, it would suit for gaijin who wants to eat larger portion. It would also suit for taking kinds. However, if you are thinking of business dinner for clients then you better go to a proper Sushi restaurants. Nonetheless,... More

The restaurant is located on the 2d floor of the Akasaka Biz Tower, just outside of the Akasaka stop on the Chiyoda line. The varieties of sushi available were more limited than in some local sushinrestaurants, but the quality of the fish was very high, and the preparation and presentation were inventive
