Ushio
Tachikui (stand-and-eat) noodles are a longstanding (forgive the pun) Tokyo tradition, but tachikui sushi…well, that’s new. So is the way you order. Take a little plastic coin, each with the name of the fish in Japanese and English, from a rack on the counter, plunk it onto a small plate in front of you, and the itamae makes it. Genius. The atmosphere: utilitarian and immaculate. It’s in the corridor as you exit Shinagawa Station.

Ōshima Endomae-Dokoro
The 30th floor of the Hotel Grand Pacific Le Meridien affords broad views of the cranes, lifts and skyscrapers on the opposite shore. How charming then at such a soaring height that this little spot, with its tiny counter and virtuosic sushi chefs, makes you feel like a bird in a very warm nest. If you're travelling with a loved one, dining on sushi of this quality at such lofty heights is a romantic and altogether memorable experience, especially if the weather is cooperating.

Hump
Modelled after the original Hump, a famous Los Angeles sushi spot near the water in Santa Monica, this Marunouchi instalment marks the increasing popularity of California-style sushi in Tokyo. The main dining room boasts spectacular views overlooking the moat of the Imperial Palace, though diners in the know opt for the private sushi bar where you can order your California rolls directly from the chef.

Sushi-Sei
Taste top-notch sushi at Sushi-sei, which traces its ancestry back to Tsukiji. Like Akasaka itself, Sushi-sei conducts serious business. Try to hit it during off-peak hours, or expect to queue with hungry government officials and financial movers and shakers. The low-profile shop is set back slightly from the street.

Numazu Uogashi
It may be in the lofty confines of Marubiru, but this friendly, workmanlike sushi shop feels like Tsukiji. Single serves are pretty expensive, but portions are generous and set lunches are a great deal.
