Ginza Kyūbey Honten

friendly chef, speaks a bit of english, 10 pc of sushi lunch for price of 8250 yen per person, for a michelin star restarant, price is readonable. But best to book a head before going, but they only take phone reservation. or can try your luck at 11:30am before restaursnt opens.

I never wanted that lunch to end everything about it was amazing! Highly recommend it there might be a wait I suggest you go when they open put your name down, shop around and come back to it

Had a great experience here. I was lucky enough to get a spot walking in. Recommend honing your Japanese language a little before visiting. You get a counter seat with a full spectacle of the sushi chef preparing your meal. My chef was very hospitable and prepared a delectable selection of sushi. If you are lucky, you even get to take a photo with the team. Walked out a happy camper. Will definitely be back soon.

We made a reservation at Kyubey ahead of time, since there are limited walk-ins available. There are multiple sets that you can pick from for your meal, ranging from pure sushi only with different number of items to sets that include baked/grilled items. We opted for the in-the-middle sushi set, since we had another lage meal later in the day. All the food was very fresh and came at a good pace. The chef making our sushi was very personable and funny. Overall, we enjoyed our experience.

We only managed to reserve through our friend who has a Japan mobile line. We came with high expectation hearing from our friend that this restaurant is frequent by famous celebrities, Obama and Abe used to dine there. We were not disappointed. We sat at the counter and service was impeccable. Food was fresh and of top quality. Food presentation was impressive. When you stepped into the restaurant, it might feel intimidating given its formal setting but when a smiling Mr Imada greeted us, the warm service quickly made us feel relaxed. We ordered the 20k Omakase dinner set. Given the quality of the food, service and experience. It was well worth the 5 stars!

This was such a fun experience in Japan, but far too expensive for what it is. First we walked in and were taken up an elevator and removed our shoes and coats. My family and I sat in a private room (booked beforehand) and were given warm towels to wipe our hands. I would recommend not bringing kids and keeping this an adults only thing , (it is very quiet to where they want to fall asleep or get bored). We did one the bigger menu options and our server brought our food to us. We felt rushed the whole time even though everyone was nice. We did 12 courses in an hour. In end, you can find sushi just as good for a WAYY cheaper price in Tokyo.

Back to sushi! A friend recommended this gem, Ginza Kyubey, but be prepared to make a phone call for a reservation as they don't do online bookings. They offer Omakase style sushi with various price ranges to choose from. Honestly, sushi in Japan is always delicious, and this place is no exception. The chef, although seasoned (let's just say experienced!), can speak a bit of English for those who don't speak Japanese. Definitely worth a try! 🍣

The Kyubey course (16 pieces of nigiri) was made to perfection. Delicious, high quality ingredients, prepared to be eaten as is. Definitely an experience you don’t want to miss.
