Sushi Hajime occupies a counter-only space in Chuo Ward, Kobe, inside the Toa Yamate The Kobe Tower building on Nakayamatedōri. The restaurant is classified in the luxury price tier and serves Edomae-style sushi, the Tokyo-rooted tradition built around vinegared rice and seafood prepared with curing, aging, or light searing rather than served purely raw.
The schedule runs dinner service most nights from 17:30 to 22:30, Monday through Friday, with Wednesday closed entirely. On Saturday and Sunday the restaurant adds a lunch seating from 12:00 to 14:30 alongside a shorter dinner window of 17:30 to 22:00.
Reservations are handled through Tabelog's online booking form, linked directly from the restaurant's listing, or by calling the restaurant at 078-381-8791. As a counter-only operation, seating is limited, and the luxury price tier suggests a set omakase course format typical of small-format Edomae sushi counters, though exact pricing is not published here and should be confirmed directly with the restaurant before booking.
No chef name, seat count, or award information is listed for this restaurant at this time. Diners planning a visit should verify current pricing, course structure, and any dietary accommodations directly with Sushi Hajime through the Tabelog reservation page or by phone.
