About Sushi Takeru
Run by a chef regulars just call Ken, Sushi Takeru is a small Edomae counter in Higashi Ginza. Eight seats, a quiet room that suits solo diners, and a menu that mixes classic nigiri with playful seasonal plates like sake-steamed kinki, hairy crab with tomato jelly, and toro-taku rolls. It carries a 2025 Tabelog Award Bronze and a spot on the Tabelog 100 sushi list.
Tabelog reviewers rate it around 3.88 and return often, with one regular writing that Ken is a very kind person whose warmth you feel across visits. Several single out the tuna as the highlight and describe it as genuine Ginza Edomae rather than a tourist stop.
