The 10 best sushi restaurants and sushi bars in Izu

We ordered a sushi plate for my daughter, and roast squid, red tuna sashimi and fish cooked in pot. All the sea food ingredients were not fresh so we didn’t 90% of them. I think the place doesn’t have enough customers and so the ingredients are not fresh. They need better chefs and new management.

Very convenient restaurant for local foods in Ito where close to station 🍻

A place to avoid, unless like me you were refused in the other restaurants because you are tourists (- Do you have room for two? - No, it's full, or we're closing soon is the usual answer. So let there be at least two hours of service left or the restaurant will be half empty). There is not even mayo with the karaage 🙄 The quality is really average and the prices way too expensive. A ramen or a bento at the station will be much better and will feed you.

quality was medium to high, but for prices twice what you'll find in ginza and 3 times Shinjuku. Staff was pleasant, food choice rather good, but offering standard japanese meals, at standard quality, at fine dining prices.

The worst place you could ever have sushi for lunch. 1790 yen for four thin slices of sashimi over rice can't be worthy.

Normal taste and overprice. Won’t recommend if you have any other option.

Price is high and food taste normal

It was one of the best experiences of my life – they even showed me how to make sushi! They were incredibly hospitable. They make their own pickled ginger, and it tastes amazing. All the fish I ate was high-quality and super fresh, and the rice was a work of art. Their sake was also excellent. It was the best sushi I had in Japan.

The sushi chef AKI who is very artistic and cool! U can tell that all the ingredients are very fresh, which is a real treat for the taste buds! Chef even show and teach us how to make sushi! That’s a wonderful experience! The atmosphere in the store is very nice. The chef and staff Miki, even other local customer are very friendly and hospitality. We had a great time chatting. When we complained that it was rainy that day and we didn’t see Mount Fuji along the way, the chef went to his utensils and rummaged around. Finally, he found a small blue wavy porcelain, saying that the pattern looks like Mount Fuji, and gave it to me as a souvenir. Finally, they knew it was my birthday and gave me a super loving sushi cake!!! In short, it was a surprise and unforgettable experience! I highly recommend this sushi restaurant called Matoi. Friends who travel to Izu must try this one!

This is a small local Japanese restaurant serving fresh Sashimi, sushi and tasty Golden-eyed fish, only available in this region of Japan. Food is good, prices are reasonable but remember to bring cash for payment. It's also a must to make reservations prior to your visit.

Incredible place for authentic sushi experience. The chef welcomed us to make a sushi in this beautiful restaurant. Both the staff and customers made us feel so welcome, the food, sake and plum wine was delicious. A taste of real Japan and a highlight of our honeymoon. Thank you!

Absolutely hidden gem in Shuzenji. Simple menu—mainly chirashi or sushi—but every dish was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The miso soup with kinmedai (golden eye snapper) was unforgettable. Chef was warm, funny, and even taught us how to make sushi after the meal. Opening hours are flexible, so call ahead and make a reservation. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

We have an amazing omakase experience the chef it’s incredible funny and genuine, he make us feel like like family and the atmosphere of this izakaya it’s truly authentic. I will come back on my next trip to Izu. Thanks Matoi!!

Kind of similar to the other reviews, was recommend this restaurant by our hostel that made the reservation for us. The food was really delicious but service and overall vibes were def off after 20-30min in. Service took extremely long, we were there for 2 hours. Menu doesn’t say how many pieces come in each set so we just kept sitting not knowing if we were done or not.. Chef got progressively sloppier throughout the meal and especially when his drinking buddy came. Just weird vibes and long long service to get minimal food.

Wow. We didn’t each much sushi in Japan, so stumbling across this place was epic luck. The quality was amazing and the couple running it were extremely hospitable. Explaining we should eat sushi by hand not chop sticks (I know classic tourists), not to use too much soy. The fish was incredible, hand rolled in front of us. Would recommend 100% to visitors who want authentic experience, combined with incredible fresh produce.

Forget about the Michelin rating. This is the place for traditional Japanese sushi in terms of decoration and taste!!! You will be surprised by the sushi!!!

Daruma sushi was recommended to me by the taxi driver as this is where all the locals go. If you have the time and cab fare, go to Numazu but otherwise, locally this is where to go. There were 3 people at the counter when I entered, all local. The second you sit down, he just serves you until you raise your hand. The quality is a 100. He's a funny guy with lots of stories. The locals are also very kind with many stories... Apparently this neighborhood was known for the Geisha houses and bath houses back in the day. His English is broken but you'll be fine. He is the fastest itamae I've seen thus far.

Amazing little space with lovely friendly service my second time visiting from Australia this is a must visit

(Translated by Google) I was sightseeing in Izu at Bice's and stayed nearby, so I went there for dinner. The special sushi, grilled scallops, and grilled fish were all delicious. I ordered turban shells, but since the timing wasn't right, I was served one scallop. I was happy. When I was introduced to the fish used for grilled fish, I was concerned that the general's mask was not working properly. Other than that I'm satisfied. (Original) バイシズにて伊豆観光で、近場に宿泊したのでお夕飯を食べに行きました。特上寿司、帆立の炙り焼き、焼き魚どれも大変美味しくいただけました。 サザエを注文しましたがタイミング悪く無かったため、帆立をお一つサービスしていただきました。嬉しかったです。 焼き魚に使う魚を紹介して頂いた際に大将のマスクが仕事してないのだけ気になりました。あとは満足です。

(Translated by Google) Weekday lunch available, Choose top sushi and average chirashi🍣 It came with tea, a small bowl, a bowl, and a dessert. The price was reasonable and as per the reviews. Families with weak legs could be seated in a chair, those with allergies could be asked to change a small bowl, and at the end, we were able to hear stories about the shop's ``Daruma'' dolls. It was. The parking lot was nearby and easy to use. (Original) 平日ランチ利用、 上寿司と並ちらしをチョイス🍣 お茶、小鉢、お椀、デザート付でした。 口コミ通りの安心できる価格設定でした。 足腰の弱い家族連れのため椅子席へ通して頂けたり、アレルギー持ちのため小鉢変更して頂けたり、最後にはお店の「だるま」に纏わるお話を伺えたり、地元ならではのアットホームな素敵なお店でした。駐車場も近くて利用しやすかったです。

(Translated by Google) A famous store in Izunagaoka. I used to go to another store. Plain but delicious. When I went inside, I was surprised to see so many Daruma figures. but. They use good ingredients, are well prepared, and are delicious. In terms of cost performance, lunch is cheaper than dinner. Also, the proprietress is the representative, and the pickles she makes are delicious. (Original) 伊豆長岡の名店。以前は別の店にいっていた。地味だがおいしい。中に入ると達磨がいっぱいでびっくり。しかし。良いネタを使って仕込みもしっかりしていておいしい。コスパ的にいうとランチが夜よりもお得。 あと、女将が代表なんだが、彼女が作ったつけものがうまい。

(Translated by Google) May 2022 Millet eel, which is hard to eat in eastern Japan Perhaps it's only available here? It was takeout only It was very delicious I guess I didn't intend to post this, so I'm sorry this was from 2 years ago. (Original) 2022.5月 東日本でなかなか食べられないキビナゴ おそらくここしか出していないのでは？ テイクアウトのみでしたが とても美味しかったです 投稿してるつもりでしてなかったらしく2年前の話ですみません

(Translated by Google) As of May 8, 2021, we are open, but only for takeout. Kibinago Sushi (¥700) and Inari Sushi were in the cooler on the left when I entered the store. There were two types of Kibinago sushi: ``Zuke'' and ``Kita.'' Sesame seeds, ginger, and wasabi leaves are hidden under the toppings. That guy is doing a good job. Personally, I think that zuke has a mellow taste and is delicious. (Original) 2021年5月8日現在は営業してますが、お持ち帰りのみの営業となってました。きびなご寿司(￥700)といなり寿司が店に入って、左の保冷庫にありました。きびなご寿司は、『ズケ』と『〆た』２種類有りました。ネタの下にゴマや生姜、わさびの葉が隠れてます。そやつがいい仕事してます。個人的には、ズケのがまろやかな味わいがあり美味しいと思います。

(Translated by Google) It's my first visit Due to the coronavirus, we couldn't eat inside the store, but the proprietress made us tea, so we had it on the bench in front of the store! I can't believe it's so delicious! I want to go eat again 😋🍴🎶 Thank you for the meal. (Original) 初の訪問です コロナの影響で店内は食事出来ませんでしたが、女将さんがお茶入れてくれたのでお店の前のベンチで頂きました！ こんなに美味しいとは！ また食べに行きたいです😋🍴🎶ご馳走様でした。

(Translated by Google) I happened to pass by on a trip and bought it, and it was delicious and memorable. Although it is not a high-class exquisite dish, I felt that it was a taste that was unique to the area and was made with a lot of time and effort. With just the right amount of vinegar, the condiments were consistently added, and the taste was soothing even to a tired body. It doesn't seem to be open on many days, but I definitely want to try it again when I go to Izu. (Original) 旅の途中に偶然通りかかり購入しましたが、記憶に残る美味しさでした。高級な絶品料理というわけではありませんが、手間ひまをかけて作られたその土地ならではの味だと感じました。程よい酢加減で一貫一貫に薬味が工夫され、疲れた体にもスッと入っていく味でした。営業日は少ないようですが、伊豆に行った際にはまた必ず食べたい味です。

(Translated by Google) Every time I passed by this place, I was always curious about Kibinago Sushi! I was finally able to eat it. Honestly it's delicious! ️ Recommended ❣️ There are other menus such as local fish sushi, but here we choose Kibinago sushi. Isn't this done elsewhere because it takes a long time? It's a little far away, but I recommend eating there when you go! (Original) いつもこの前を通るたび気になっていた、きびなご寿司！ついに食べることが出来ました。 正直美味しいです‼️オススメです❣️地魚寿司など他のメニューもありますが、ここでは、きびなご寿司一択です。手前がかかるので、他ではやっていないのでしょうか？ ちょっと遠いですが、行ったら食べることをオススメします！

(Translated by Google) I finally got to eat it after three years! Kibinago sushi!! Just delicious!! My mother is managing everything by herself. Despite the coronavirus outbreak, it seems that they have not been able to open much due to poor health, so they are basically open from 9 a.m. to evening on Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays, and public holidays. The rest depends on your physical condition. (As of 2022.6) If you're worried, it's best to call before going. By the way, if you call to see if it's open in the morning and call about 15 minutes before you arrive, they'll make it for you. The menu is ・5 pieces of Kibinago sushi 700 yen ・5 pieces of marinated sushi 700 yen ・12 pieces of mixed 6 pieces each 1600 yen In addition, we sell agar (coffee, plum, etc.) made in Amakusa. There is also an eat-in space The taste is irresistible for those who love light food. The flavored vegetables in each sushi are different, and this time ・Green onion ・Red ginger ・Myoga ・Kaiware radish ・White-haired green onion ・Perilla Each one has its own individuality, so you won't be disappointed! Also, I think it must be a lot of work considering the amount of time and effort it takes to handle the small millet sandals one by one. By the way, my wife, who hates small bones, said, ``It doesn't bother me at all.'' The small tail is edible. If you go to Nishiizu, make a reservation and make a great souvenir! (Original) 三年越でようやく食べられました! きびなご寿し!!とにかく旨い!! お母さんが一人で切り盛りされています。 コロナもありましたが、体調不良であまりオープンできていないようで、基本的に土日月、祝日の朝９時から夕方まで営業しているそうです。あとは体調次第。(2022.6現在) 心配な場合電話してから行くといいです。 ちなみに、朝オープンしてるか電話して、到着15分前くらいに電話すると作っておいてくれます。 メニューは ・〆きびなご寿司５貫700円 ・づけきびなご寿司５貫700円 ・ミックス各６貫の12貫1600円 のほか、天草で作った寒天(コーヒー、すももなど)が売ってます イートインスペースもあります お味の方はヒカリモノ好きにはたまらない美味しさです。 各お寿司の中の香味野菜が違っていて、今回は ・青ネギ ・紅しょうが ・ミョウガ ・かいわれ大根 ・白髪ネギ ・大葉 とひとつずつ個性があり、厭きがきません! また、小さなキビナゴを一匹ずつ捌く手間ひまを考えると大変苦労されていると思います。 ちなみに小骨が嫌いな嫁が「全く気にならない」といってました。 小さくついている尻尾は食べられます。 西伊豆に行ったら、予約してお土産にも最高です!

(Translated by Google) Revisited after 2 years! ! It's delicious after all. This Kibinago sushi is the best♪ It seems that it is only open on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, etc. Don't overdo it, by all means make it long and thin. I want to have this taste forever, so thank you for your support! It's different from Kyushu's Kibinago, and has a good Izu-like and island-like sushi feel. I can't help but love the refreshing taste of millet, pickled ginger and seasonal leaves in between! Even though I'm always full, I don't eat enough in a good way (lol) (Original) ２年ぶりに再訪！！やっぱり旨いですねえ。 こちらのきびなご寿司、最高です♪ 土曜、日曜、祝日、等のみオープンしている様です。 無理せず、是非とも細く長く。 いつまでもこの味を頂きたいのでよろしくお願いします！ 九州のキビナゴとはまた違う、伊豆っぽさ、島寿司っぽさが良いんです。キビナゴがサッパリとして、間に挟まれた紅しょうがと季節の葉ものと、、、ん〜愛せずにはいられません！ いつもお腹いっぱいでも、いい意味で食べ足りない(笑)

Food was delicately and precisely prepared by the chef in front of us. It was delicious and satisfying! If we weren’t still in portion-control mode, we almost wanted to order another portion of sashimi as well 🤤🙂

Great restaurant with nice fresh ingredients and good price. The owner is very friendly and it’s a nice experience to see your food being prepared right in front of you. Highly recommend the sushi mix.

Authentic local Japanese restaurant. Thumbs up to the boss. One man show but the food is great and sumptuous. Environment is clean. We were struggling using PayPay to make payment, better bring cash as rural places are not accepting credit card.

Delicious sushi in a spacious restaurant run by a very kind and attentive owner! Would recommend the mixed sushi plate as pictured, just show it and he’ll make you one. :) Everything was fresh and honestly better than a lot of the sushi I’ve tasted in the big cities like Tokyo or Osaka. Very fairly priced as well! (About 3000¥ for this mixed plate + beer)

What a lovely place. The food was delicious and the owner was a very lovely man who told me how to make great chawanmushi - you should try his! He also gave me his secret recipe for great tamago Yaki. Going to attempt both when I go home. Thank you so much for a really lovely dinner!

Went for lunch, around 6000yen for 2 people. Big meal, very tasty sushi and great chef. Especially rice and shioyaki fish. The owner aka chef is very attentive and skilled.

Fresh, authentic and delicious! No English menu so be prepared to use google lens. Well priced considering it’s the only restaurant around! Would recommend :)

The prices are not displayed and it is a ripoff. The variety of fish is also very small.

fish sushi is fresh and the sauce of rice is quite yummy. The owner couple is nice and the shop is operated by second generation since opening 70 years ago. We communicate well by using Google translate 😊

Delicious sushi, we just went with the omakase menu and loved every bit

Warm hospitality with freshest of fish from local markets. Highly recommend!!

(Translated by Google) A quiet place about 10 minutes walk from Ito Station 10 counter seats for two couples A great store for people who like independent stores [Kame sushi] The current general is the second generation. Founded 75 years 10 seats at the counter 1 table for 4 people Atmosphere like a sushi restaurant in town Although there are not many topics Perfect for a light drink with sushi and side dishes. You can go with two close friends or go alone. Although she's not the type of person to talk about many things, her attentive talk makes her feel comfortable, and her mother's personality is warm and calming. I ate Yagara's konbujime for the first time (^^) (Original) 伊東駅から徒歩10分程の静かな場所 ご夫婦2人でカウンター10席 個人店好きな人にはありがたいお店 【亀寿司】 今の大将が2代目で 創業75年 カウンター10席に 4人テーブル1つ 街の寿司屋と言った雰囲気 ネタ数は多くはないけども 鮨と肴をつまみに軽く飲むに丁度良い 仲良い人間2人でいくか1人で行っても 色々と話すタイプの大将ではないけども気配りトークが心地よく、ママの人柄も温かく落ち着く ヤガラの昆布締め初めて食べました(^^)

(Translated by Google) I wanted to eat delicious sushi on a trip with my mother, so I looked for this restaurant after reading various reviews! The inside of the store is clean!! The owner and the landlady were also very friendly and I am grateful to them. Although there was no menu, I was very satisfied with the taste and price. I'm glad I found a sushi restaurant that I wanted to visit when I came to Ito. I will definitely visit you again! (Original) 母との旅行で美味しいお寿司を食べさせたくて色々とクチコミを見て探したお店！ 店内は清潔!!大将と女将さんも気さくに話して頂き本当に感謝です。 メニューが無かったのですが、味も金額も大満足です。伊東に来た時に寄りたいお寿司やさんが見つかって良かったです。 また絶対にお邪魔します！

(Translated by Google) I went with my parents. I was offering one piece at a time for my mother, who has low vision, and the owner immediately held them with gentle consideration, saying, ``Let's hold your mother's all together first.'' The work was very thorough and the sushi tasted great. The wife is also a kind customer service, and I would like to go to Kame Sushi again when I go to Ito Onsen❣ (Original) 両親と行きました。弱視の母の為に1つずつ提供するスタイルをすぐに「お母さんのはまとめて先に握るね」と大将が優しい気遣いで握ってくれました。とても丁寧な仕事で、お寿司の味が素晴らしかったです。奥様も優しい接客で、伊東温泉に行ったらまた亀寿しに行きたいと思います❣

(Translated by Google) Sushi special (¥2,500) I was able to enjoy very delicious sushi at a low price! I felt that the cost performance was quite good! Also, the owner served us ``braised boar'' and ``yuzu agar'' as a service! The service was good and the cost performance was good, so I felt like I would definitely return. (Original) 寿司　特上（¥2,500） 非常に美味な寿司を価格抑えめで楽しめました！ コスパがかなり良いと感じました！ また、大将がサービスとして「猪の角煮」「ゆずの寒天」を出してくれました！ サービスがよく、コスパも良いのでリピート確定だなと感じました

(Translated by Google) Dropped in Solo female, Saturday, 7:00 PM It was empty so I was able to get in right away. Four seats at the counter, two tatami tables Nigiri: ¥1500, ¥2000, ¥2800 Chirashi: ¥1600, ¥2300, ¥3000 I ordered the ¥2000 nigiri set (see photo) Roll, egg, medium fatty tuna, lean fish, shrimp, white fish, salmon roe, and scallop The quiet owner made it in just 10 minutes. The rice was sticky and firm, while the sashimi was soft. Delicious! Most importantly, they left me alone, so I was able to dine comfortably, even as a woman. The interior is old, but well-maintained. Recommended for tourists! (Original) ふらっと訪問 女性ひとり、土曜日19:00 空いていてすぐに入れました カウンター4席、座敷が2テーブル にぎりが1500円、2000円、2800円 ちらしが1600円、2300円、3000円 にぎりの上2000円を注文 （写真参照）巻物とたまご、中トロ、赤身、えび、白身、いくら、ほたて 寡黙な店主がものの10分くらいで握ってくれました シャリは粘りが強くて硬め、刺身は柔らかめ 美味しい！ なにより放っておいてもらえたので、女性ひとりでも気を張らずに食事ができて良かったです 店内古いですがキレイにされています 観光でもおすすめ！

(Translated by Google) Wonderful sushi made with mainly natural seafood. Prices are very reasonable. The store is neat and clean. A seemingly honest general took care of the situation by himself. This is a store I would like to visit again. (Original) 天然物の魚介類を中心とした素晴らしいお寿司。値段はとてもリーズナブル。お店はこざっぱりとして清潔です。実直そうな大将がひとりで対応してくれました。また行きたいお店です。

(Translated by Google) Cheap and delicious. Can you eat amago once in a while? (Original) 安くて美味しい。 たまに、アマゴが食べられる？

(Translated by Google) It's very delicious and the owner is kind. I recommend it. (Original) とても美味しいですし、大将も優しいです。お勧めです、
