Kiku Sushi

With no set menu, a meal here begins by placing yourself entirely in the chef's hands, guided by the day's market catch. That sourcing is uncompromising: carefully selected seasonal tuna and meltingly tender simmered conger eel highlight a focused selection of classic Edomae nigiri, with some diners noting the conger eel as an especially memorable piece.

The generous variety of sashimi and seasonal appetisers before the sushi is another hallmark of the restaurant. Seafood such as ark shell and sea urchin appears alongside cooked dishes like simmered mero (Patagonian toothfish). Diners can ease into the meal with a glass of beer, savoring small plates before transitioning to nigiri when the moment feels right.

The dining room is modest, accommodating guests across just 5 counter seats and a single table, with evening hours running from 17:30 to 21:00. Given the limited capacity, making a reservation and confirming the budget in advance is wise. It makes a fitting choice for an evening dedicated to enjoying hand-pressed sushi in a quiet, focused setting.
