Ginza Furuta

Ginza Furuta was one of those meals that quietly stays with you. Coming from Jakarta, where good food is everywhere, our expectations were high — and Furuta still managed to exceed them without trying too hard. The omakase felt thoughtful and well-paced. Each piece of sushi was clean, balanced, and precise, with flavors that spoke for themselves. Nothing felt rushed or overly theatrical. The fish quality was outstanding, but what impressed us most was the restraint — seasoning and technique were used just enough to elevate, never to dominate. Chef Furuta’s calm presence set the tone for the entire experience. There was a quiet confidence in the way each course was prepared and served, making the meal feel intimate rather than formal. Even without much conversation, you could sense the pride and discipline behind every movement. It’s not an over-the-top luxury experience, and that’s exactly why it works. If you appreciate purity, craftsmanship, and subtlety — and you’re willing to slow down and pay attention — Ginza Furuta is deeply satisfying. For us, it was a memorable stop in Tokyo that stood out even after traveling all the way from Jakarta.

We wanted a traditional Japanese meal after a day shopping in Ginza and we found this delightful restaurant. We sat and watched the chef (additional seating is downstairs). The service was spectacular. The food was very tasty, expertly prepared by the chef while his wife served us our drinks. We had the MIYABI course. My favourite dishes were the Natural Noto local fish sashimi and the Noto beef steak. Highly recommended!

My husband and I had dinner at this Tokyo restaurant. Every aspect of it was outstanding. The husband and wife team of owners made us feel very welcome. We were asked to choose from several multi-course menus and selected a six-course meal centered in sashimi. The food was delicious, the service was very efficient, and the ambiance was intimate and casual. We paid the day before the meal, when we made the reservation, which was unusual but fine with us. We also thought it was a very good value. We highly recommend Ginza Furuta.

The restaurant is famous for food from the city of Kanazawa and the grilled Nodoguro fish. For dinner, the meal was a set course and everything was prepared to perfection. I went with 2 other Japanese friends and they really enjoyed the meal as well. You know it's good when locals also enjoyed it.

The food was extremely disappointing. One of the appetizers reminding me of Ambrosia salad and one of the sashimi was impossible to chew. The wife was a server and she was lovely. Unfortunately, the husband (chef) was unfriendly, at one point he shushed the only group on the floor when we dared to laugh.

Delicious food. The staff are friendly, and the food is great. I had the Kirabi course for ~8500 yen. Absolutely worth the price. My select favorites from that set was the appetisers (all of them), the Ara fish, the Udon soup and the apple jelly! (Edit: corrected the price)

Located in the heart of Ginza, access is excellent from the rest of Tokyo. It's a great place to eat with excellent service. Food is good for the price, but amazing! It is highly recommended.

The food was prepared amazingly delicious to slowly increase your appetite as you work your way through the course. Everything about the meal was fantastic from the ingredients, the atmosphere, and the servers. Although I would recommend making a reservation before you go as the sitting is very limited.
