Yataizushi Kanda

Pairing freshly made sushi with deep-fried izakaya dishes and small plates over a casual drink is the straightforward appeal of Yataizushi Kanda. Located moments from the west exit of Kanda Station, the spot welcomes diners with a bustling atmosphere positioned somewhere between a traditional sushi shop and an easygoing neighbourhood tavern.

A Wide Range of Sushi, from Nigiri to Thin Rolls

At the core of the menu is sushi, featuring classic assorted platters such as the Sushi Take and Sushi Ume alongside the option to order piece by piece. Diners can tailor their choices to their cravings, whether that means lightly seared nigiri with an aromatic grilled finish or the Honmaguro Zanmai Sushi assortment featuring fatty, medium fatty, and lean bluefin cuts together. Thin rolls are also favoured as drinking snacks, with options like the Torotaku Namida roll—punctuated by the sharp heat of chopped wasabi—and the Kappa no Pien roll adding a brisk, fiery kick to the table.

Substantial Izakaya Fare from Fried Chicken Wings to Tempura

The kitchen offers plenty beyond raw fish, providing a reassuring lineup of hot drinking snacks. Deep-fried selections are well represented, led by signature Tebasaki fried chicken wings with customizable pepper levels, generous portions of squid tempura, and crisp fish bone-and-skin crackers. Smaller savoury dishes such as octopus dressed in scallion-salt sesame oil or engawa (flounder fin) yukhoe in salted sauce make easy bites while lingering over a drink in classic izakaya fashion.

Early Evening Happy Hours Through to Late-Night Bites

A drink happy hour runs from opening at 16:00 until 19:00, making it an appealing option for an early drink. Seating includes both tables and a counter, accommodating solo diners stopping by after work just as comfortably as casual get-togethers with colleagues. Mobile ordering adds convenience, and with service running late into the night, the venue proves dependable whenever you need late dining or a relaxed nightcap around Kanda.
