Tabelog ratingSushi Miyuki is a small, six-seat counter in Shintomi that has quickly gained a reputation for its distinctive, generously portioned nigiri. The chef, who trained at the acclaimed Sushi Hashimoto, serves thick cuts of top-quality fish (neta) over large balls of seasoned rice (shari). He uses a blend of red vinegar and three different types of rice, a combination frequently praised by reviewers.
Guests consistently laud the quality and size of the sushi, with particular mentions for classic Edo-mae preparations like kohada (gizzard shad), kanpachi (amberjack), and lightly seared cuts. The handling of shellfish—from hokkigai (surf clam) to akagai (ark shell)—is considered a standout, as is the warm, fluffy anago (sea eel) served towards the end of the meal. The lunch omakase is often described as exceptional value.
The primary challenge with Sushi Miyuki is accessibility. Many reviewers report that reservation slots on booking platforms are rarely released to the public, with seats seemingly reserved for regular patrons. Some have noted the restaurant appears to operate on an irregular or private basis. A minor point of feedback is the size of the nigiri, which some find too large for a single bite, though the chef is happy to prepare smaller shari on request.
Reviewers in 2024–2026 reported paying around ¥8,800 to ¥10,000 for the lunch omakase. Dinner is more comprehensive, with courses priced around ¥22,000 and final bills ranging from ¥18,000 to ¥25,000 with additional pieces or drinks. Given the portion sizes and ingredient quality, both lunch and dinner are considered excellent value—for those who can get a booking.
