Janome Sushi

This sushi restaurant is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from Meitetsu Higashi-Okazaki Station. The renovated interior features a white, black, and red palette for a modern, chic look. With counter seating and a sunken kotatsu-style tatami room, it’s an easy fit for solo diners, women, and families with kids.

At lunchtime, locals regularly stop by for the great-value “Sushi Set Meal,” which includes seven pieces of nigiri plus a sushi roll. The evening “Sushi Set Meal” is just as satisfying, featuring eight pieces of nigiri along with simmered fish, chawanmushi (savory egg custard), red miso soup, and ice cream.

You’ll also find other favorites, like their popular tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet), which can sell up to 120 a day at year-end, plus a variety of dishes made with conger eel. Pair their carefully crafted sushi with drinks including local Okazaki sake such as “Takano Tsukasa” and “Nito,” served chilled, as well as other alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.
