What to know
Chef Saeki's Ginza sushi counter emphasizes Edomae techniques, which means each piece of fish is cured, marinated, or aged to amplify its natural flavors. The minimalist space seats just a few, allowing for personalized service and a quiet, sophisticated atmosphere. Regulars praise the kohada (gizzard shad), a classic Edomae topping that requires careful preparation. The chef's unique nigiri style, combined with ingredients, makes for a memorable experience.
