About this place
The vinegared rice in the inari is sweet, while the rice in Uzushio-Maki and other rolls is lighter and more refreshing. That contrast is part of the appeal of the takeaway sushi at Naniwa Koichian Keio Shinjuku. One diner remarked on how the lighter rice lets the fillings come through. Alongside Uzushio-Maki, the menu includes Conger Eel Roll and Salad Sushi Roll, offering several choices if you are in the mood for rolls.
The inari options listed are Gomoku Inari Sushi in a 5-piece pack and small sesame-seed inari in a 6-piece pack. Choose inari for a sweeter flavour, or rolls for a lighter pairing of vinegared rice and fillings. Some diners say they became regulars after enjoying the chirashi sushi, while another review mentions trying the crab chirashi. The menu also lists Shrimp Chirashi, Conger Eel Chirashi and Irodori Chirashi, giving you options to choose by topping.
Assorted sets include Naniwa Sushi, Osaka Sushi and Hakosukeroku. The shop is on the middle basement floor of Keio Department Store Shinjuku and offers takeaway. It is an easy stop when you want to combine a few rolls and inari.
