Nadeshiko: A Unique Sushi Experience

In Japan, and especially Tokyo, you won't have to go very far to find a place to enjoy sushi.  Nadeshiko Sushi in Tokyo's Akihabara district, though, is unique in that it is the only one in Japan where the sushi chefs are women.

Dressed in kimonos and headscarves, the Nadeshiko sushi chefs are prominent here even amidst the nice looking, traditional Japanese décor and bar.  In a neighborhood dominated by maid cafes and other similar themed restaurants/cafes, Nadeshiko fits right in while being one of its kind, ironically and beautifully so.



If, like me, your only previous experience was with "conveyor belt" sushi chains, then Nadeshiko will be a new, cool, and eye-opening experience.  It was my first time to actually see the chef prepare what I ordered (salmon avocado rolls, and snow crab nigiri) with my own eyes.  The videos I'm sharing here capture the vibe of the place, and a bit of the imagery/process of the actual sushi making.



And the food was delicious!  I ordered menu items I don't typically see elsewhere, and really enjoyed it.



If you love sushi and want to try something unique and different from the sushi chains, Nadeshiko is definitely worth a visit.

Recommendations:
- As is the case with many "themed" restaurants, especially in Akihabara, the prices can be steep for the typical tourist (though still cheaper than many of the more "traditional" sushi restaurants.  If tight on money, an option is to go here for an "appetizer" and drop by one of the more mainstream places for your real meal (many ramen/steak places around Akihabara).
- Photos are okay here, in contrast to many of the other places in Akihabara.  Feel free to Instagram-away here!
