About Sushi Namba Hibiya
Chef Hidefumi Namba runs this eight-seat counter on the third floor of Tokyo Midtown Hibiya, with a pale wood bar and a separate four-seat private room. The cooking is Edomae, built around his obsession with temperature: rice and topping are each served at their own warmth, tuned piece by piece so the shari and the neta meet at the right moment.
Tabelog reviewers, who have given the room repeated Gold awards, describe the meal as moving and point to the attention to that warm-rice technique and the balance it produces. Namba's name carries weight in sushi circles, and he is well enough regarded internationally that he is opening a restaurant in the United States.
