About this place
Two dishes to keep in mind at Tsune Sushi are the shellfish sashimi platter and conger eel nigiri. Diners who came specifically for shellfish have remarked on the variety in the platter and the memorable scallops. One reported ordering a sashimi assortment with surf clams added, making this an appealing choice for a meal centred on shellfish. The menu also lists surf clams, abalone and scallops, as well as fresh oysters from Hokkaido and white shrimp from Toyama, offering plenty to choose from among the seafood small plates.
Conger eel has also earned praise. Diners describe the simmered-eel nigiri as tender and plentiful enough to savour in a mouthful. The menu includes simmered conger eel aspic too, offering another way to enjoy it. Some visitors have ordered a little sashimi, grilled fish and nigiri, a progression that suits a meal of small plates followed by sushi. Grilled squid, horse mackerel, shime-saba and gizzard shad are among the other options, so there is plenty to explore beyond shellfish and eel.
There are sake options served both chilled and warm, including Hitakami Chokara Junmai from Miyagi and Kuzuryu Kan-Tanoshii Junmai from Fukui. You could choose a few seafood dishes to go with your sake, or make nigiri the focus and pair it with beer or a soft drink. The restaurant offers dine-in service and table service, and is described as having a quiet atmosphere. Dinner reservations are recommended, so consider booking ahead if you plan to linger over shellfish and conger eel.
