This sushi place is known for its “Edomae” style sushi, a technique invented in the Edo period where you marinated the fish for a few days before serving it. We recommend asking for a counter seat in order to watch the chefs make all kinds of different sushi in front of your eyes. However if you prefer a more quiet seat they do have table seats which allow you to watch the arriving and departing planes.
