About this place
Standing near the Daimon Gate of Zojoji Temple, Daimon Takezushi has long been favored for the unpretentious warmth and welcoming air of a traditional neighborhood sushi shop. At lunchtime, local workers and visitors from the nearby temple fill the counter for a satisfying meal of quality sushi at an approachable price.
The signature lunch draw is the chirashi, featuring a generous spread of fresh seafood arranged across a wooden serving tub. Tuna, shrimp, shellfish, and silver-skinned fish make up a colorful assortment that pairs naturally with the seasoned sushi rice. The midday menu also includes nigiri sushi, tekka don (tuna bowls), and sashimi bento boxes, making it easy to choose based on the day's mood.
In the evening, the selection expands to tiered sets of nigiri and chirashi—from standard to special grades—along with an omakase nigiri course tailored for a more leisurely dinner. Guests can enjoy beer or sake over seasonal sashimi and small plates prepared with seafood sourced from markets including Tsukiji.
The shop adapts easily to different occasions, whether you prefer chatting with the sushi chef from the ground-floor counter or dining in a private second-floor tatami room. With delivery and takeout options also available, it is a practical choice whenever you want good fish without any fuss.
