Nigiri chojiro is a more premium quality sushi chain compared to Kura, kappa, hamazushi, sushiro, the price range is around middle range, better fish cuts and better presentation. Table and counter seating. Big variety on the menu and staff is friendly. They have live fish aquarium where some sashimi is cut fresh from a live fish.

Unlike those tourist-oriented, trendy restaurants, this place serves traditional, delicious food and earns honest money. Follow the locals and wait in a line can bring you totally different experiences and great food probably you never know. Again, my respect.

We loved lunch at Nigiri Chojiro. This restaurant is off the beaten tourist path being 23 min walk from Kimkaku-ji castle or a bus ride from elsewhere but it was totally worth it for us. Sushi as fresh as it gets, conveyor belt is cool, and we watched one of the chefs get live fish from the large fish tank. While the staff doesn’t speak English, they are really friendly and we had no problem ordering via a tablet that had an English option.
