Sushikyu

Sushikyu occupies a timber house in Okage Yokocho, a short walk from Fukusuke. Its tekone-zushi layers thick bonito slices marinated in sweet soy over vinegared rice. Ise’s tourism association links the dish to fishermen who mixed freshly caught fish with rice for a practical meal at sea. Here it is served as a sit-down lunch, with set meals adding tempura, soup and flavours from Mie.

The official page traces the restaurant to a sushi shop founded in the Tenpō era of the nineteenth century; the present house was restored in 1989 and retains beams connected with the shrine’s 1869 rebuilding ritual. The menu offers several sizes of tekone-zushi and set meals with accompaniments. Prices rise with the number of dishes, so compare the simple bowl with a full set before ordering.

Reviews praise the tender bonito, sweet-savoury seasoning and traditional dining room; they also mention lunchtime waits and differing views about portions or value. The official page lists 11 am–5 pm and a shorter schedule on the last day of each month. It is within Okage Yokocho’s pedestrian lanes; continue through Oharai-machi, cross Uji Bridge and walk on to the Inner Shrine.
