Sushi Kita sits in a basement space on Honchō in Naka Ward, Yokohama, near Bashamichi. The restaurant is counter-only, built around Edomae sushi served alongside sake and small dishes, in a wood-finished room the owner describes as meant for unhurried evenings.
Chef-owner Kazuhiro Kobayashi has run the shop for more than two decades, marking a 20th-anniversary milestone under the guiding phrase "keep the beginner's spirit." Seating was reduced some years ago after two air purifiers were installed in the dining room, so the counter is smaller than it once was, though an exact seat count is not published.
Service is dinner only, Monday through Saturday from 18:00 to 22:00, with the restaurant closed Sundays. There is no lunch service. The restaurant does not admit guests under middle-school age, and the dining room is non-smoking.
Pricing falls into the top tier tracked by this guide, consistent with an Edomae counter of this caliber, though a specific course price is not listed on the site and should be confirmed directly. Reservations are handled by phone or through the restaurant's website; given the counter-only format and limited seating, booking ahead is advisable. The restaurant also posts updates, including seasonal closures, on its Instagram account under the handle bashamichi_sushi_kita.
