Shibuya Sushi Labo 渋谷 鮨らぼ
Lead by Chef Tahara, Shibuya Sushi Labo is a 14-seaters counter sushiya offers Edomae Sushi featuring tsumoto-style aged sushi. Price is very reasonable too. This sushiya is located at the quieter side of Shibuya, just about 10 minutes’ walk from Shibuya Station.
I went for their lunch, where they offer only one type of lunch course – Tsubomi つぼみ; priced at ¥6,600 per person. This 90 minutes Tsubomi course offers a total of 18 pieces of nigiri sushi and side dishes. Also to highlight, this sushiya is rated 3.51 on Tabelog, which is quite a good one and at this reasonable price.
Chefs in the house!
That day, I have Chef Tahara on the service. It is always nice to be seated at the counter, to observe the chef in action.
