Takumi Sushi Owana

Restaurant Details

Chef Oana Kenji has one of the most solid resumes on the sushi scene. A veteran of Sushi Sho in Kagurazaka, one of Tokyo's most famous sushi restaurants, sushi lovers in the capital have been well acquainted with his skill in nigiri-making for some time.

Now, at his own Ebisu omakase sushi restaurant, called Takumi Sushi Owana, he puts all of his skills and experience to work in creating one of downtown Tokyo’s best sushi experiences, recognised by the Michelin Guide, which awarded it a Star for four years.

The menu features classic nigiri interspersed with other traditional small plates. The Michelin Guide makes particular note of his playful inventiveness; he mixes and matches as he feels like it, using standard ingredients to come up with something entirely new, like pairing a Saikyo miso glaze with anago conger eel instead of the typical cod or salmon.

Chef Oana chooses all of his ingredients personally at Toyosu Market every morning, and depending on the type of fish, treats his shari rice with either red vinegar, white vinegar or a mix of both.

But at this level of sushi opulence, aesthetics are almost as important as the taste. As such, Chef Oana's offerings are just as much a feast for the eyes as they are the mouth. Garnishes are used to great effect, with colorful flourishes like chopped green onions, dots of wasabi, and sprinkled sesame seeds adding to the beauty and texture of the nigiri.

Around a dozen types of sake are on offer, many sourced from the chef’s home prefecture of Shizuoka. These are specifically chosen to match well with his seafood, with clean flavors not concealing the taste of the sushi, but rather enhancing it. Ask for pairings — Chef Oana will be only too happy to oblige.

Located just one stop on the Yamanote Line from Shibuya, Takumi Sushi Owana's location in the comparatively quieter Ebisu makes it the ideal place for a quiet, secluded omakase experience. Let Chef Oana dazzle you with not just his expert presentation, but also his eye for detail and fresh seasonal ingredients.
