This wildly popular sushi restaurant has five other locations around the city, but the menu varies across each of the venues and the one at Aoyama is no exception. If you’re after an authentic sushi experience with seasonal highlights like fresh tataki-style horse mackerel and black throat seaperch, which are both autumnal delicacies, look no further.
Even if you opt to sit at the restaurant’s beautiful hinoki sushi counter, you won’t be limited to a fixed-price omakase menu; you can order both hot and cold dishes to suit your appetite as well as budget. Aside from the classic nigiri sushi, Ikina Sushidokoro Abe also has a few inventive dishes that you won’t find at other sushi joints like their riceless maki rolls which are filled with ikura, pickled ginger and kohada.
