Sushi Sagane occupies a small counter in Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku City, with seating for six guests around a sakura-motif bar. The compact size puts diners close to the chef's work through the meal.
Chef Hideki Yamaguchi took over as head chef in spring 2017. He trained for about ten years at sushi restaurants in Tokyo after finishing culinary school before assuming the role here. The menu is built around Edomae sushi, with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients and attention to the tableware used for each course and accompanying sake.
The restaurant is priced at the top tier (price tier 4) and is listed as counter-only and English friendly, which suits visitors booking from abroad. It's open nightly from 17:30 to 23:00, with no listed closing day among the hours provided.
Reservations run through Omakase.in rather than a phone-only system, though the restaurant's direct line (03-5330-3378) is also listed. The address is 7-chōme-13-6 Nishishinjuku, Shinjuku City, in the Sasao House building, first floor, about a five-minute walk from Nishi-Shinjuku Station. Given the six-seat capacity, availability is limited and booking ahead is advisable for anyone planning a visit.
