Loved by the locals, Omasa in front of Tondabayashi-Nishiguchi Station is your quintessential neighbourhood sushi shop, offering a long list of not only nigiri and sashimi but various izakaya-style side dishes that go perfectly with beer or sake.
At lunchtime, wallet-friendly options include chirashizushi (small pieces of sashimi over rice; ¥890), tekkadon (tuna sashimi over rice in a bowl; ¥890) and sukeroku (a plate of futomaki sushi rolls and inarizushi tofu pockets; ¥700), all of which come with a small bowl of udon noodles and one other dainty dish on the side.
In the non-seafood department, don’t miss out on the croquettes made with locally grown ebi-imo, a yam in the shape of a prawn. Crispy on the outside and satisfyingly sticky on the inside, these are available for takeout in plain, cheese and curry flavours and make for a tasty snack to accompany your stroll through the surrounding streets.
