Best Sushi

In Ginza

Ginza sushi operates on omakase, with counter seats booked weeks in advance and evening meals commanding premium prices in this upscale district. The neighborhood's top establishments focus on precise Edomae techniques, like Sushi Arai's legendary four cuts of tuna and Sushi Murayama's distinctive red vinegar rice that's softer than traditional preparations. High end spots such as Hakkoku deliver 30 piece tasting courses, while more accessible options like Kosasa Sushi offer generous portions with lightly seasoned preparations. The area caters primarily to special occasion diners and business entertainment, with most restaurants requiring advance reservations and operating from compact, ten seat counters where chefs perform their craft mere feet from guests.
