What makes it special
Double Sushi has the look and feel of a neighbourhood establishment that’s been quietly doing its thing since around the 1950s—thin slices, honest execution, no pretense. The post notes the chef’s willingness to accommodate regulars and students with off-menu options and discounts. A seafood bowl (kaisen-don) at ¥1,200 or even ¥850 for the regular sets the tone. The caption mentions it was picked by Tabelog’s “Kitana Shuran” (local-favourite ranking) and has TV + celebrity attention, yet still feels completely unglossy and local-first.
