Umegaoka Sushi no Midori Sohonten Shibuya, Tokyo: A Sushi Platter in Shibuya Mark City

Close-up of a sushi platter on a bamboo leaf: a shrimp with its head and long antennae resting against pieces of yellow rolled omelet, a nigiri topped with long white flesh edged in red beside a lump of wasabi, and an orange sea urchin gunkan and a shellfish-like gunkan on the left.

How to order Address & map

Umegaoka Sushi no Midori Sohonten Shibuya (梅丘寿司の美登利総本店 渋谷店) is a sushi restaurant in Shibuya, Tokyo, where in April 2018 I photographed a mixed platter of nigiri (hand-pressed sushi) with shrimp, sea urchin and rolled omelet. Hot Pepper Gourmet, a Japanese restaurant-booking site, lists it on the fourth floor of the Mark City East Mall. The chopstick sleeve on my table read 寿司の美登利 with 総本店 underneath, and the silver wrapper beside it read すしの美登利.

A table set with a chopstick sleeve printed 寿司の美登利 総本店, a silver wrapper printed すしの美登利, a small flower-rimmed bowl of lettuce and white shreds topped with a gray paste, what looks like chawanmushi with a spoon in it, and a cup of green tea.

The nigiri platter on a wooden board

In the cover photo, a shrimp with its head and long antennae still on rests against pieces of tamagoyaki (rolled omelet). Next to it is a nigiri topped with long white flesh edged in red, which looks like crab, with a lump of wasabi beside it. At the left edge, a gunkan (a ball of rice wrapped in a band of seaweed and topped with soft ingredients) holds orange sea urchin, and the one beside it looks like a shellfish.

From above, the board holds many pieces: what look like slices of tuna, a white-fleshed fish, a round white piece with a seaweed band that looks like scallop, a gunkan topped with what looks like salmon roe, a cone-shaped seaweed hand roll, and a long glazed fillet along the left edge that looks like conger eel. What looks like pickled ginger sits at the bottom.

The shrimp nigiri keeps the head and front shell, while the peeled body lies over the rice with a cluster of what looks like black roe on top.

Sea urchin on a gunkan

What reviewers say about the nigiri

A Hot Pepper Gourmet reviewer in June 2026 says Umegaoka Sushi no Midori Sohonten Shibuya is easy to reach inside Shibuya Mark City and praises the fresh toppings and careful nigiri. A reviewer on the same site in September 2019 calls it excellent value, says it is always crowded, and praises the service.
