The Best Sushi Near Buscone, by the Record
-
Rank 1. Ichikawa
Japanese
A sushi restaurant in Porta Romana where the case for Japanese traditionalism is made quietly, through precise knife work and clean preparations that don't need architectural plating to make their point. An omakase counter lets you watch the chef work up close. The sake selection is taken seriously alongside the wine list, and tempura with wasabi salt has a way of settling any doubts about the kitchen's priorities.

The sushi counter runs omakase only, eight to eleven courses, no à la carte wandering allowed. This is a contemporary Japanese restaurant where the chef moves between raw fish and Angus beef with equal confidence, folding miso, truffle, and yuzu into the through-line. The room reads like a serious night out in Milan, dressed up but not stiff. A Michelin Guide selection, and ranked among Italy's top sushi spots by 50 Top Italy.
