Sushi Iida

Tucked into Sekimachikita in Nerima Ward, Sushi Iida takes an unadorned, sincere approach to traditional Edomae sushi. The small shop holds about 9 seats, offering a calm and welcoming counter where the chef receives each guest warmly. Inquire about the day's fish, and he will gladly discuss his sourcing philosophy, with thoughtful craftsmanship evident in every piece.

Alongside the nigiri, the tamagoyaki is a staple long favored by regular patrons. Ordering it wrapped in crisp nori seaweed as a drinking snack is the classic choice, providing a comforting, unpretentious touch to the meal. The drink selection is kept deliberate and compact, centered on bottled Yebisu beer and sake from Niida Honke. Rather than maintaining a sprawling menu, the curated lineup reflects a dedication to keeping attention focused squarely on the sushi.

Operating in the evening from 18:00 to 22:00, the intimate seating makes dinner reservations advisable before heading over. Cashless payments via code services such as PayPay and Rakuten Pay are also accepted.
