There is a sushi restaurant in the same building as Kawamura! I visited about 2 years ago and it was delicious at that time. However, on this day, apart from the tuna, sea urchin, eel, and salmon roe, there was a smell to the other dishes which was disappointing. The tuna, sea urchin, eel, and salmon roe were delicious. Without drinks or additional orders, the bill of 46,000 yen seemed a bit high. I was satisfied when I first came, but as expected, the satisfaction level at a restaurant can vary depending on the timing. Thank you for the meal.

"Nojima" is a sushi restaurant in Ginza known for its tuna and conger eel, which has relocated from Nishi-Azabu. The restaurant is located in the basement of the high-end steakhouse "Kawamura," with only 7 counter seats and run by a husband and wife. The course we had today included appetizers such as striped jack, cutlassfish, bonito, abalone, negitoro roll, and eel. The nigiri sushi consisted of sandfish, sardine, sweet shrimp, ark shell, medium fatty tuna, gizzard shad, fatty tuna, lean tuna, squid, horse mackerel, sea urchin, and conger eel. The omakase course ranges from 35,000 yen, and today's bill for two people exceeded 90,000 yen. We also had 2 bottles of beer and several highballs, which made us feel that it was quite expensive. The appetizers and the sushi made with red vinegar were undeniably delicious, but the overall cost was a bit high in our opinion. #Nojima #DeliciousSushi #Sushi #TokyoSushi #GinzaGourmet #GinzaDinner #Foodies #Foodstagram #Gurunavi #GourmetTravel #FoodBlogger #FoodieCommunity #FoodLover #FoodiesOfInstagram #KantoGourmet #FoodReport #GourmetWriter #FoodieLife #BClassGourmetInformation"

A delicious sushi restaurant in Ginza♪ The last Kounotori crab of the season was amazing, with soft and exquisite meat^ ^ Not only the sushi, but also the side dishes were delicious, and I could feel that they put a lot of effort into preparation and handling. The restaurant is run by a couple, and the cozy atmosphere is lovely! I would love to visit again^ ^

A small sushi restaurant with only a counter. Around 6 seats maybe? All the plates were lovely. They had a good selection of drinks too. The appetizers and sushi were all very good. The chef was friendly, and I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

The restaurant had 6 seats and was fully booked. We left it to the chef's choice and the appetizers were delicious and carefully made. The sushi was also delicious, with Edo-style rice that crumbled softly. The tuna was particularly good. Overall, it was a sushi restaurant in Ginza that met our expectations. The bill came to 45,000 yen.

Father's Day family dinner was sushi. So I made a reservation about 3 weeks in advance. The location is next to Kawamura in Ginza 7-chome. Going underground, there it was. The seating is limited, with only 5 seats. It seems to be run by the master and the female owner. However, the unpleasant feeling I felt when I entered, whether it's a woman's intuition or the brain reacting based on past experiences, turned out to be true. The lack of love for the fish, the lack of hospitality, and the lack of communication with customers made me disappointed even before eating. The chawanmushi was a disappointment, too firm and with an overpowering taste. The salted young corn was good, but when I asked about the salt, the female owner didn't know and the master just said it was from Shizuoka. The bonito was tender but the salt on the skin was too strong. The shrimp was gooey and had a good aftertaste. However, the vinegared rice was too strong with red vinegar, making me very thirsty. The kiss had a weak flavor due to the overpowering rice. The surf clam and belt fish had good harmony with the sauce. The squid had a texture I didn't like, and the horse mackerel was the worst of the day. The saury was poorly done, and the needlefish was not suitable for any fish due to the overpowering rice. The sea urchin was good, but poorly presented. The ark shell and conger eel were large but lacked the usual tenderness. Overall, the experience was not worth even if it cost 10,000 yen. In comparison, a visit to "Risaki" for 1,000 yen was much more satisfying in terms of service, quality of sushi, and technique. The lack of explanations and the final comment of "It's good to go to different restaurants and learn" left me puzzled.

"Yajima" is a popular sushi restaurant where you can enjoy Yamayuki's tuna, which has moved from Nishi-Azabu to Ginza. The restaurant is located on the basement 1F of a building that also houses the famous steakhouse "Kawamura". I visited the restaurant at 6:00 PM with a reservation. The interior has an elegant and calm atmosphere, with only 7 counter seats in a cozy setting. The dinner course is only available as an "omakase course", with prices starting from 35,000 yen and varying slightly depending on the day. The lineup for the omakase course on that day included 27 items, including appetizers and nigiri sushi. The appetizers and dishes before the nigiri were all dishes that I would visit just to eat. In particular, the "grilled white eel" made with natural eel from Lake Shinji in Shimane prefecture was outstanding, with a crispy skin and tender bones. The nigiri sushi, starting with the tekka maki, included a total of 5 pieces of tuna. All the tuna was fresh and delicious, with no fishy taste. The "kama toro" in particular was lightly seared, removing excess fat and enhancing the flavor. The chef may not have spoken much, but his smile was lovely and comforting. I look forward to enjoying the tuna with winter fat next time. Ginza is a comfortable place to visit, with many calm and mature customers."

I visited Nojima in Ginza for the first time after being invited by a friend. The restaurant is located underground in Kawamura, known as the most expensive steakhouse in Japan. The interior is small with only 7 seats, run by a husband and wife, and I really liked the cozy atmosphere. The taste was exceptional, the best I've ever had. The vinegar used for the sushi rice was to my liking, with a hint of red vinegar. Among the nigiri sushi, the most memorable was the ikura (salmon roe). Normally, ikura sushi is served with just sushi vinegar, but this one had various other ingredients mixed in (hard to explain, but it was surprising and delicious). It's rare to encounter something new and impressive at a sushi restaurant, and I can't wait to visit again.

It may be a little difficult to find the entrance of Sushi Sio at the beginning of your 30s, as it is a small restaurant with only 8 seats located underground in Ginza. I requested to celebrate my birthday there. Starting from Hokuriku, we were able to savor the best ingredients in their pure form through the sashimi. After finishing the crab, the hostess kindly cracked open the shells to reveal hidden meat that I had missed. Their humble attitude and respect for food were truly moving. The grilled white eel was the best I've ever had, with a crispy skin and tender flesh. The liver sauce of the thread-sail filefish was incredibly delicious, and I felt like I wanted to pour it over rice. Thanks to the chef's generosity, I was able to enjoy 2 pieces of sea urchin for my birthday, making the meal truly luxurious and almost brought tears to my eyes. Personally, I loved the saury and shrimp the most. The final dish of conger eel with salt was a perfect ending to the meal. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

I visited "Nojima," a sushi restaurant highly praised in the sushi industry. Recommended by "Naka●" and "Taka●● Sushi," it is a hidden gem known among those in the know. The quality of the ingredients is evident from the beginning, with delicious sashimi of sea bream and yellowtail. The highlight of the meal was the ikura bowl, one of the best I've ever had. The nigiri started with tuna from Yamazuki, and each piece was a delight. The way they prepared the kohada was excellent, although it was slightly disappointing that it was a bit cold. Despite having only 5 seats, it is relatively easy to make a reservation, which is much appreciated. There are still new discoveries to be made at "Nojima," a sushi restaurant that should be on your list in the competitive world of Ginza. Thank you for reading until the end. If you enjoyed this review, please like, follow, and save the restaurant. Thank you.

I knew about Sushi Aoki from the time it was in Nishi-Azabu (in the same building). This was my first visit since they moved to Ginza. They offer omakase starting from 33,000 yen. Here's what I had: Flounder, saury, sea urchin and lily root chawanmushi, simmered octopus, willow leaf flounder, salmon roe with green onion roll, swordfish soup, followed by nigiri sushi: kisu, shime saba, shrimp, firefly squid, baby sardine, tuna trio, mackerel, sea urchin, red clam, flat clam, conger eel, and an additional kanpyo roll and tamagoyaki. Everything was delicious. Flawless! It's surprising that it's not a reservation-difficult restaurant. The tuna was outstanding. The shrimp and conger eel were also very delicious. The price was a bit high, especially for two people. Total spent: 40,000 yen. Rating: 4.5 stars. 5 stars: Definitely want to revisit! 4 stars: Would like to revisit if given the chance. 3 stars: Would consider revisiting. 2 stars: Once is enough. 1 star: No need to go.

Recently, there has been a rapid increase in the popularity of the restaurant called Nojima-san. I had been curious about this sushi restaurant for a while. I invited some people who have always been helpful to me under the pretext of a thank-you gathering. Oh, this is actually the top-notch steak place Kawamura! (Kawamura is not easily accessible to first-time visitors, so please take me there.) It was just so delicious. I couldn't help but exclaim "umai!!" (delicious) repeatedly after a long time. It was so moving, I felt like crying. It's probably going to be hard to get a reservation now. You should go there soon.

A friend treated me to a visit to this place, which had a very clean and pleasant atmosphere. The menu had a wide variety of dishes such as bonito, squid, yellowtail, and eel, all of which were exceptionally delicious. The yellowtail and eel were especially outstanding. The sushi was also amazing, with the tuna being the highlight - the quality of the fish and rice was superb. The last dish, the eel sushi, was one of the top three best things I've tasted this year. It was tender, sweet, and had no fishy taste at all, just pure deliciousness. I was truly impressed.

I have visited this place many times, but I am posting again after a long time. From appetizers to nigiri sushi, and even rolls, everything has been upgraded. Ultimately, what I want to eat last in my life is the toro rice bowl with ikura on top from here. I ordered the umeshiso roll for the first time. I had never seen shiso wrapped outside the rice before. The aroma and texture were amazing, and I was impressed by the umeshiso roll. Personally, I think the sushi here is the best.

I visited the sushi restaurant "Nojima" in Ginza, where high-end stores are lined up. Nojima moved from Nishi-Azabu in Minato Ward in 2010 and is a very popular restaurant that is difficult to make reservations at. It is conveniently located within a 10-minute walk from Ginza Station, Shimbashi Station, and Hibiya Station on the Ginza Line. It is about 362m from Ginza Station. You enter the restaurant by going down a slightly narrow staircase from the main street into the East Five Building basement floor. Inside, there is a spacious and relaxing atmosphere with a white wooden L-shaped counter that seats six. The head chef, Ikku Nojima, trained at the famous Ginza restaurant "Karak" before opening his own place at the young age of 31. His specialty is "tuna". The omakase menu I had included dishes like dashi with fish scraps, white squid, octopus, tender simmered fish, salmon roe rice, eel, tuna wrapped in seaweed, red sea bream soup, bonito, tuna, sardine, white squid, fatty tuna, mackerel, red snapper with sea urchin, conger eel, egg, and more. The fatty tuna was particularly outstanding with a refreshing taste and beautifully cut with a sharp knife. The balance of the fish and vinegared rice was perfect, enhancing the flavor with each bite. I enjoyed delicious sushi in the gourmet city of Ginza and will definitely visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I received a message from a close friend saying, "There's a great sushi restaurant in Ginza, let's go check it out." We met up at Nojima-san. It was located in the basement of the famous high-end steak restaurant "Kawamura." The restaurant was small with only about 7 seats at the counter. We started with a toast and some appetizers. The grilled fish and simmered fish were all delicious. The grilled baby corn with the skin on was especially tasty. Then, a tuna festival began. We started with the medium-fatty tuna of the day. The aroma from Sado's fixed net... it retained the freshness of summer tuna while also having a rich flavor. "This is the summer fixed net tuna," as I was told. After that, a parade of delicious sushi followed. I had no idea there was such a great sushi restaurant in Ginza. The chef, who resembled Dave Spector, was also entertaining. I really like the warm hospitality from the parent-child duo. I think this place is underrated! You shouldn't even bother with meat!

A small sushi restaurant with only 6 counter seats ♡ I enjoyed delicious sushi that was not overly elaborate, allowing the true flavors to shine through. I was pleasantly surprised when they served fresh sea urchin with its spines still moving! The sea urchin nigiri was also large and delicious.

The sight of craftsmen focused on their work without distraction is truly impressive. There is a wide variety of dishes that will satisfy both drinkers and non-drinkers alike. The highlight was the tuna - the medium fatty tuna, fatty tuna, and marinated tuna were all exceptional. The negitoro roll was the ultimate highlight, with more tuna than rice, almost like tuna jelly. The sea urchin with its spines still moving was a unique experience. The grilled fish, including cutlassfish, cherry salmon, and flounder, were all plentiful and delicious. The tender sweetness of the conger eel and the plump texture of the baby eel were also memorable. It was a time spent in awe of the talented dishes. Truly an amazing restaurant in Ginza.

This year, I visited a sushi restaurant recommended by a sushi chef I highly respect. To put it simply, out of over 100 sushi restaurants I have visited, this one felt the most standard. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, I'm not sure. In Ginza, sushi is often judged by the "blue sky" standard, but as someone who didn't quite understand the appeal of blue sky, I felt that "Nojima" was a more standard establishment. There were no extravagant surprises, just good old-fashioned sushi. The only surprise was when a grilled fish dish was served as an appetizer, which honestly seemed a bit out of place. I think those who are used to eating sushi in Tokyo might find it "not bad" overall. It's not bad, but there's nothing particularly outstanding that would make you want to come back. It's a suitable place if you're looking for that standard sushi experience. However, if you're seeking unique sushi and ambiance, this might not be the right place for you. The bill came to 67,500 yen for sharing a bottle of sake, which is around 34,000 yen per person. I believe the omakase (chef's choice) course was around 30,000 yen. The sashimi appetizer was the most delicious part of the meal.

I visited the restaurant for a small errand. The shop is located in the basement of a building on a street in Ginza known for its delicious restaurants. It is a small restaurant with less than 10 counter seats. I didn't have much time to carefully taste each dish due to my errand, but I made a note of the particularly delicious items. The ingredients seemed to be of high quality. First, for appetizers, they served saury, which made me think that the menu may vary slightly depending on the season. However, I couldn't have a conversation with the quiet chef. Despite his reserved nature, I believe I could have talked to him normally. Moving on, the standout dishes were the conger eel and salmon roe rice bowl. The eel broth soup that came with the grilled eel was also delicious, but I might just really like grilled eel (laughs). The conger eel was exceptionally tasty, and I wonder if it's a specialty of the restaurant. It was so good! Although I didn't order any extras due to the two-part seating arrangement and limited time, if I could have, I would have definitely ordered more conger eel. And the salmon roe rice bowl was also delicious. The reason it stood out was probably because the rice wasn't just plain rice. I'll keep the details a secret. While the price for the appetizers and sushi might be a bit high, I noticed that there were regular customers present that day, giving the impression that it's a place where regulars frequent. The restaurant was full during the first seating on a weekday, with mostly elderly business-related regulars, making it a bit noisy. I felt that it might not be the ideal place for a quiet dining experience. Since the menu probably doesn't change much, I would consider going back to try the conger eel again or whenever the opportunity arises. Thank you for the meal!
