Shinjuku Sushi Hatsume serves Edomae-style sushi from a counter-only setting in the basement of the Nishimura Building in Nishishinjuku, a short walk from Shinjuku Station's west exit. The restaurant is classified by OmakaseGuide in the luxury price tier, placing it among Tokyo's higher-end sushi counters, though an exact course price is not listed and should be confirmed directly with the restaurant.

Service runs seven days a week. On weekdays the restaurant opens for dinner only, from 17:00 to 22:00. On Saturdays and Sundays it adds a lunch seating, open 12:00 to 14:00, in addition to the evening service from 17:00 to 22:00.

Reservations are taken by phone rather than through an online booking system, which is typical for small Edomae counters in this part of Tokyo. The restaurant maintains a presence on Instagram, where current menus, seasonal fish, or any schedule changes may be posted, but the primary channel for securing a seat is a direct call to the number listed for the venue.

As a counter-only restaurant, seating is limited and likely arranged around the chef's preparation area, consistent with traditional Edomae sushi service. Details such as total seat count, specific course pricing, and the chef's name are not published and should be confirmed by phone before visiting.
