Paying by card at Tokyo sushi spots in 2026?
most sushi counters in that range run cash only so hit a konbini before & keep a few thousand yen coins for the counter seat
hanami sushi is old school, probably cash only so bring yen just in case. i use 7-bank ATMs at 7-eleven, they take foreign cards fine & the fee is small. get a Revolut or Sony bank card for daily stuff, way less fx markup
worth adding that most 7-bank machines cap withdrawals around 100k yen per pull so plan two trips if u need more
yeah and the fee tiers go up after 10k yen too
also seven bank machines at the airport post offices are the ones that reliably take foreign cards late, the in-store ones close with the shop. aeons go to 200k per pull if u need a bigger stack
For counter seats I usually just ask when booking whether it's cash only, saves the awkward moment at the end. Also worth carrying a bit of physical cash generally since some smaller spots still tack on a card surcharge of a few percent.

Higuma Donuts on Takeshita, go before 9.
the matcha old fashioned is the real order there
agreed, but get it fresh out of the fryer if u can, they tray them up around 8:30 and the glaze sets better. cold ones go chewy fast, especially in summer humidity.
Second this, weekday mornings are dead quiet.
worth the detour but heads up they close tuesdays, learned that the hard way. if the line's already snaking past the corner just bail and hit the little bakery two blocks toward Meiji Jingu instead, their anpan holds up fine.
That backup spot's anpan is fine but their shokupan sells out before noon, so grab a loaf if u see one.
Grab it sliced if they offer, otherwise a whole loaf goes stale by day three unless you freeze half. They also do a small shokupan loaf on Fridays that goes faster than the regular one.
yeah before 9 is key, by 10 the line's out the door. fwiw their kuromitsu one is underrated, everyone just grabs the glazed. cash only btw, no cards
Nine is already pushing it on a Saturday, I'd aim for 8:15 if you want to eat one warm on the bench outside. Also they're closed when it rains hard, which nobody warns you about.
Cash only and they shut the shutters once the batch runs out, so early really means early.
