Ume Sushi

At lunchtime, you can choose a sushi set with one portion, 1.2 portions or 1.5 portions. One diner who ordered 1.5 portions reported receiving nigiri including tuna, squid, scallop, octopus, salmon and egg, alongside cucumber and tuna rolls, miso soup, a small side dish and chilled tofu. Some diners have found the pieces on the small side, so opting for a larger portion may suit those looking for a more substantial lunch. At the counter, you can watch the sushi being made; one diner also noted that the freshly formed rice was warm.

If you’d rather have something other than nigiri, options include bara chirashi—a bowl of assorted toppings over sushi rice—and lunch sets pairing it with rolls. Some diners choose the daily rice bowl; visitors have mentioned bowls of medium-fatty tuna and bonito, and one recalled the yellowtail in particular. On weekdays, Ume Sushi’s lunch menu offers a choice of sushi portions and rice bowls to suit the day’s appetite.

At dinner, diners have enjoyed sashimi, grilled dishes, sushi and simmered fish. One reported pairing simmered alfonsino with sake before finishing with a little sushi. The sake selection is said to range from fruity styles such as Dassai to drier options. Lunch can be a casual meal with a portion to suit, while dinner lends itself to a few dishes and a drink.
