Sushi Iwa, owned by Chef Hisayoski, is relatively new to the scene, but it’s a perfect intro to high end Tokyo sushi. Both Iwa-san and his sous chef Shigeyuki Tsunoda speak some English, are super friendly, and welcoming to foreigners. It’s an intimate setting, with only 6 seats at the bar, and if you only splurge on one sushi experience, this should be it. If you go for the full omakase course, expect to pay about ￥22,000 (or $200) per person with drinks (which is truly still pretty reasonable considering the quality). If you’re a babe on a budget and looking for something a little lighter on both your bank account and stomach, try going for lunch and ordering the 10-piece (￥4,860) or 13-piece nigiri set (￥8,000).
