About Sushi Tsubomi
Sushi Tsubomi opened in Naka-Meguro in 2018 as an offshoot of the Sushi Saito school, with chef Keiya Kawaguchi at the counter. The space is stylish and relaxed, seating around ten, and the omakase leans on careful fish sourcing and a clean harmony between neta and rice. The lunch sets have a loyal following of their own.
Tabelog rates it 4.19 across nearly 600 reviews and names it a Sushi Tokyo 100 pick and 2025 Bronze winner. Reviewers there call Kawaguchi consistently delicious and note how hard a seat is to get. Tripadvisor visitors echo the casual-but-serious mood and the chef's bit of English. It surfaces often in Saito-adjacent recommendation lists.
