Sushi-no-Midori

Shibuya & Shimo-Kitazawa


Long known for its generous, exceedingly reasonable sushi sets, Sushi-no-Midori is perhaps now a little too well-known: long waits are common during peak hours. Take a number from the ticket machine and, if the line is long, head out for a little shopping. It's least crowded around 3pm on weekdays.
