Best Sushi food near Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan
Reviews on Sushi food in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. One of the best preserved and most architecturally demonstrative, Himeji's 400-year-old castle is so exquisite that it alone is worth a trip to the city. The castle is close to the train station, so it makes an ideal short stop on a day trip to several sights.

I am traveling in Himeji and checking the reviews on TripAdvisor and other Japanese local food reviews site. Totoro seems to be recommended on various places.It took me a while to find it as the google map has not been reliable. I walked almost 2 loops near the station area before I located it.I finally arrived around 6:15 tonight and the wait was about 20 minutes. Not as bad as I thought it would be.The staff are efficient, they will take your order as soon as you sit at the waiting area. Thereâs English menu and I would say the selection is not huge but sufficient for a lot of people. I was asking for ç½å, however they donât have it. They also ran out of æµ·è½ Uni too. Slightly disappointed but still happy with my order. I had yellowtail, toro, crab roe, flounder, crab, Congo eel. I love them all but I would highly recommend the toro (fatty tuna) for sure! Price is reasonable, itâs a must try if you are in Himeji! I finished the whole meal (9 pieces of sushi) within 15 minute. I will definitely come here again!

The taste of Japan, made by experts at affordable prices! We purchase fresh fish caught off the Harima coast daily. The fish tossed about by the rough waves of the Seto Inland Sea have grown fit and plump, and are ideal for eating as sushi. We serve many

Youâve spent the afternoon at Himeji Castle, and now youâre getting hungry. What to do, where to go? If youâve a craving for American/Western dishes, then certainly youâll have a ton of options, as Japan gobbles up American name eateries like thereâs no tomorrow. BUT, youâve not come to the other part of the world to have the same things that you typically have back home. If you love sushi, or havenât ever sampled it, you absolutely must try some while youâre in Japan. What better place, right? When in Himeji I have to recommend a brand new, very cool keitan zushi (sushi train) place conveniently located at JR Himeji eki. If you walk out the JR entrance which faces the Castle, just take a left and walk down the street (tofumachi), and its on your left after about a 30-60 second walk. This place just opened back in July, and Iâve tried it twice when Iâve passed through Himeji on two separate visits to Japan. I was so impressed that I had to be the first to share a review on it. I can report that itâs âda bombâ, in terms of the quality of its sakana (fish). Iâm a hardcore foodie, and an admitted sushi snob, and after having lived in Japan for several years in the past, Iâm pretty darned hip to what differentiates excellent sushi from merely âgoodâ sushi (although in Japan, even average sushi can still provide a culinary orgasm in your mouth). My Japanese wife has additionally taught me the nuances of the sushi world, and Iâve been a most enthusiastic student. So, with pretty decent sushi credentials, I can say that I was impressed with this quite ordinary, everyday sushi place. Particular standouts were the unagi; melt in your mouth anago; grilled fatty salmon; fuggetaboutit uni; shako, and umaki, which is unagi wrapped in tamago (egg). There were several other pieces which were unexpectedly delicious, but you get the idea. Weâre talking good stuff, here. In closing, if youâre in Himeji, and want good sushi, then this place is a winner. Often foreign travelers are reluctant to engage a place in Japan when there is no visible Eigo (English), but luckily at this place you order through a tablet, and there is an English menu option thatâs available on it. Often, however, the English parts of menus at many restaurants are bare boned, with most of the details being left out. Actually, thatâs the norm. Rikimaru however, is one of the exceptions. After painstakingly comparing the English to the Japanese menus, I found them to be pretty much identical, so youâre not going to miss any opportunities. So, give this place a try if youâre in the area, as I can almost guarantee that youâll have a pleasant sushi experience. Hope this review helps

This place is great. The staff are super friendly and the food is delicious. The tuna gyoza were so good that we ordered a second portion. Reasonably priced too. A must visit on your trip to Himeji. Conveniently located near the train station
