T2 means Tatsu Sushi if you want proper fish
Tatsu Sushi sits airside in Terminal 2 at Narita, handy if you’re on JAL or oneworld flights using T2 and want real sushi before a long haul. It’s a compact counter-style spot, so you’re close to the action while chefs prep nigiri right in front of you. Expect airport pricing: plan on around ¥2,000–¥3,500 for a basic set and more for premium pieces like toro or uni.
Hours generally track daytime bank traffic in T2, with service from late morning through evening departures, so you’re covered for lunch and dinner before most US and Europe flights. Turnover runs fast; a typical stop is 30–45 minutes if you stick to set menus rather than ordering piece by piece. If you’ve got a sub‑60‑minute connection inside Terminal 2, this is tight but still realistic if there’s no wait list when you arrive.
Menu focus stays classic: sushi sets, chirashi bowls, and a few rolls. The value play is a lunch set in the ¥2,000–¥2,500 range, which usually includes miso soup plus 8–10 pieces of mixed nigiri. If you’re splurging, ask specifically for any seasonal fish; Narita rotations often include sanma or aji in autumn and spring. Skip loading up on basic tuna rolls at ¥500–¥700 each; the sets give better variety for roughly the same spend.
Beer and sake options run standard Japanese labels, usually in the ¥600–¥900 range for a small bottle or glass. Soft drinks and green tea are available and typically under ¥500. There’s no lounge-style lingering here; staff move things along so they can turn those 10–15 or so counter seats for the next wave of T2 departures.
Practical tip: check your gate before sitting down; some T2 satellite gates (like 90–99) can be a 10–15 minute walk from Tatsu Sushi once you’re done eating.
