Where possible, I think it is better to make a reservation in advance of your visit. However, as we do not accept reservations for Sushi Ishijima, please expect some waiting time on the day of your visit.
I wrote an article about basic manners for eating traditional Japanese cuisine (kaiseki, kappo) that people may think they understand, but would be surprised to find out that they didn't.
Located in the agglomeration of excellent restaurants encircling the Tokyo Skytree. An opportunity to eat in this establishment should not be missed. You have to read this if you are planning to visit the Tokyo Skytree.
This article is about something everybody should know but doesn't, "The correct way to eat sushi"! Before going to a sushi restaurant be sure to check it out!
1) I think that it is better to wait outside until the time of your reservation, because your table is not likely to be ready before the time of your reservation.
2) It is not impolite, so please do so without worrying.
3) I do not think that is a problem at all. There are some sushi chefs who do not pay much attention to foreign customers, so it may be a good strategy to present your sushi chef with a small gift and make him feel that he has to accommodate you properly.
The type of fish used for nitsuke varies between the seasons. In regards to "Takahashi," their Kinki-fish nitsuke is exceptionally popular during the winter time. When it comes to Kinki, the entire fish is said to be served at all times, but this apparently may not be the case with other fishes (varies depending on inventory).
Anago should be served throughout the year. I believe you'll be able to eat it at any time (although summer is the best season for eating the most delicious anago).
The second stage of the special contribution is a visit to "Sushisho Saito," which I also love.
This full-length feature piece is an incredible read.

Read this piece to learn the secret!
When I went to the Iron Chef store "Kurogi", which has moved to the foot of Tokyo Tower, I suddenly made up my mind and tried to write "after" about the three Iron Chefs. Whether you know Iron Chef or not, please do read this.
You may not expect it, but Shibuya unfortunately doesn't have a lot of delicious restaurants...
Those who are planning to do sightseeing in Shibuya should check out this article from TokyoTableTrip for a selection of the best lunches!
Depending on what steak cuts are chosen, there should be four or five courses prepared. (The content of all courses without steak is the same.) I am planning to make the reservation about one month in advance. However, if it will be for only one person then we may have the flexibility to wait a little longer (until two weeks in advance for example).
With the coming of Spring, winter fish are no longer in season with other fish taking their place. I put together a list of seasonal types of sushi that are a must eat for those traveling to Japan in March.
