About Otsuna Sushi

Otsuna Sushi occupies the ground floor of the remm Roppongi building, about a two-minute walk from Exit 4b on the Hibiya Line or Exit A5 on the Oedo Line. The restaurant dates its origins to 1875 and keeps a different rhythm from a chain: a seasonal menu, sushi served in the dining room and specialties also sold to take away. Its inari, with the seaweed wrapped on the outside—the reversed presentation highlighted by the restaurant—is one of its best-known choices for visitors seeking an edible souvenir from the district.

The price contrast between lunch and dinner is clear. The official menu checked lists a limited-quantity lunchtime nigiri set from ¥1,440; at dinner, omakase nigiri starts at ¥6,300 and courses at ¥7,500. Otsuna can therefore fit a carefully budgeted sushi outing at lunch, but should not be described as a cheap dinner option. Takeaway is available for much of the day, and the restaurant warns that some items may sell out during the afternoon break.

Comments tied to this address often mention takeaway inari, attentive service and the convenience of bringing home a box to share; other reviews show that value depends on the order and a diner’s expectations. In practical terms, reserving a table or messaging through the official form reduces uncertainty, especially for groups. The site also provides dietary information in English: it describes a menu without gluten ingredients but cautions that the kitchen is shared and cannot guarantee absolute protection from cross-contamination.

The restaurant does not list dedicated parking. Its proximity to the subway makes it easy to combine with the galleries and museums around Roppongi Hills or Tokyo Midtown, while keeping that cultural and commercial area distinct from the club scene concentrated on other streets and at other hours. Lunch is the more sensible choice for keeping costs down; anyone planning dinner should check the menu beforehand and note that the last entry is 9 p.m.

In brief

Restaurant founded in 1875; limited-quantity lunch nigiri from ¥1,440, à la carte sushi, omakase, dishes and takeaway boxes. The dinner omakase nigiri starts at ¥6,300, so dinner is not the budget option.
