The Kojimachi neighborhood isn’t a popular tourist destination - it’s mostly offices - but its proximity to the Hanzomon side of the Imperial Palace means that it’s not a bad place to stop by for food.

Janoshin is a sushi restaurant located on a quiet side street in Kojimachi. It’s reasonably priced, quiet, and tasty - perfect for a simple sushi meal. This is a very local place. English menus are nonexistent here, but given the limited menu, this shouldn’t pose a problem.

You’ll choose between ちらし chirashi, which is mixed sashimi on rice, or 寿司 sushi, pieces of fish on rice, or what most people think of when ‘sushi’ is mentioned. Then, all you have to do is choose how much you want to spend, ranging from JPY1300 to JPY3400. They’re generous with portion sizes, and the most expensive option will fill you up nicely. If you’re avoiding carbohydrates, you could just go for the sashimi moriawase or mixed sashimi at JPY2500 per person.
