Uogashi Nihon-Ichi (Ginza/Yurakucho): A Pioneer of Standing (Tachigui) Sushi
Uogashi Nihon-Ichi is credited as an originator of "tachigui" (standing) sushi in Tokyo: there are no seats, and diners eat standing at the counter, ordering individual pieces of nigiri as they go. This format keeps turnover fast and prices among the lowest for counter-served Edomae-style sushi in central Tokyo.
The Ginza/Yurakucho branch also offers mobile ordering. Because there is no seating and the format moves quickly, it works best for a fast lunch or a quick bite rather than a leisurely meal.
