Tokyo’s culinary scene continues to evolve, and with the debut of Sushi Otemon on March 10, 2025, HOSHINOYA Tokyo introduces a refined, deeply personal sushi experience unlike any other. This exclusive eight-seat counter restaurant invites guests into a quiet, immersive space where the elegance of Edomae sushi meets the creative spirit of regional Japanese traditions.
With a concept built around “Edo Chic, Harbor’s Bounty,” Sushi Otemon is both a tribute to Tokyo’s sushi heritage and an exploration of the diverse flavors that shape Japan’s coastal identity.
Where Tradition Meets Innovation
Led by masterful sushi artisans, the omakase journey at Sushi Otemon begins with time-honored Edomae techniques—aging, curing, and marinating—to enhance the depth of fresh seafood. But this is no ordinary sushi counter. Guests are treated to inventive touches, such as the Wakayama-inspired Mehari sushi, reinvented with tuna toro and salmon roe wrapped in lightly pickled greens.
Each piece tells a story, connecting regions, seasons, and techniques into a seamless culinary dialogue.
A Counter Crafted by Time
The setting at Sushi Otemon is as remarkable as the cuisine. At its center is a 200-year-old hinoki cypress counter, smooth with age and rich with character. The intimate eight-seat layout encourages direct interaction between chef and guest, where each course is served with quiet precision and attentive grace. It is an environment that invites stillness, focus, and appreciation of craftsmanship at its finest.
Pairings That Enhance Every Bite
To complement the sushi, a selection of seasonal sakana—delicate side dishes designed as “sake accompaniments”—are served in harmony with the main course. These refined plates borrow from the aesthetics of Japanese haute cuisine, featuring subtle textures and flavors that match the season.
A carefully curated sake and wine list completes the experience, offering pairings that elevate and expand each flavor profile on the plate.
A Culinary Journey Through Japan's Coastal Soul
More than a restaurant, Sushi Otemon is a destination within HOSHINOYA Tokyo—an invitation to slow down, savor, and discover the intricacies of Japan’s coastal bounty. For sushi lovers and culinary explorers alike, this new chapter adds an extraordinary layer to the hotel’s already celebrated gastronomic offerings.
