"Udon as a staple food" Instagram https://instagram.com/alwaysudon/ Udon as a staple food TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@alwaysudon It's been over half a year since my last visit. The restaurant's rating on Tabelog has also risen in the meantime. Indeed, compared to before, the appearance has become more beautiful and the balance between the rice and the fish is better. It was from Kyubei to Kanesaka. The salt is quite strong, but it goes well with the tuna and kohada. The tuna from Yamazaki is really delicious. I quite like the raw amaebi. I also like the anago stuffing. When I tried to make a reservation on my way out, I was told it's for next month. Official blog https://alwaysudon.com/

I visited this restaurant because I saw on social media that their lunch was cost-effective. I had to wait outside because the first group of customers was still there, but it was so hot outside (´Д｀) I was impressed that the sushi rice was a bit too firm. The horse mackerel and saury were particularly delicious, especially the saury, which I wanted to have seconds of. Even though it was delicious, I don't usually go for seconds. Overall, I thought the cost performance was good for lunch.

I visited Sushisuke for lunch on a paid day off during the week. I had been there before and it was delicious, so I decided to go back. The lunch is divided into two sessions, and even if you arrive early, you cannot enter the restaurant until the designated time, so you have to wait outside. The course can be eaten quickly in one hour, so it's great for a business lunch. The price is a bit of a treat, but I feel like visiting occasionally. I had Rokoko and Shinsei sake. It's great to be able to drink from lunchtime. - The steamed egg with plum meat was really delicious. The acidity of the plum meat stimulates the appetite. - Flounder and Kasugodai were topped with yuzu zest between the shari and the topping, creating a light and fluffy texture. It's refreshing and very delicious. - The marinated lean tuna was very large. I was very satisfied to be able to fully enjoy the delicious lean tuna. - I had horse mackerel and firefly squid with salt and sudachi. - Chutoro, Kohada, Ikura, and Pacific saury were all delicious with the rich flavor of the fish in season. - The soup, conger eel, kampyo roll, and tamagoyaki with shrimp paste inside were on the sweeter side. Thank you for the meal!

Visited Sushi Yu in Higashi Ginza for lunch. I had been there once before with a friend and the food was delicious, so this time I went with my sister. It's conveniently located near Higashi Ginza Station, but also within walking distance of Shintomicho, Tsukiji, and Ginza. It's a great location with easy access, perfect for a quick and delicious sushi lunch during a one-hour lunch break. It's perfect for a rewarding lunch. If you're not a fan of the 2-3 hour dinner courses, you might enjoy the same delicious sushi quickly at lunch. The restaurant has 8 counter seats and a sophisticated and luxurious atmosphere. The staff are numerous, so the service is excellent and the food and drinks are served quickly. The head chef is friendly and easy to talk to, which is nice for asking questions about the sushi or the meal. The sushi pieces are generally thick and satisfying. The steamed egg with plum and bonito flakes was delicious. The sushi pieces included flounder, young sea bream, marinated tuna, horse mackerel, squid, medium fatty tuna, gizzard shad, salmon roe, and Pacific saury, all of which were delicious. The miso soup with seaweed was also tasty. The pickled burdock root and egg omelette were flavorful. Overall, it was a very satisfying lunch. It's not often that you can enjoy such delicious sushi quickly for lunch. I would love to visit again for another special lunch. Thank you for the meal.

I have always wanted to visit this restaurant! It has a hidden entrance like a hideaway, and the interior is simple and lovely. I ordered a beer, but they also had a great selection of sake. You can watch the skilled chef prepare and serve fresh sushi right in front of you at the beautiful counter. This time, I had the Camellia course. The first dish was a warm and smooth steamed egg custard with plum, topped with a refreshing broth with plum flavor. The flounder had a nice thickness and chewy texture. The rich flavor of the fuedai sea bream spread throughout my mouth and was delicious. The marinated tuna had a rich taste and a strong presence. The sweet squid was served with salt and vinegar, and the medium fatty tuna had a strong taste and good quality. The kusugodai had a melt-in-your-mouth texture with a hint of yuzu flavor. The horse mackerel had a good bite to it, wrapped in shiso leaves with spring onion and ginger on top. The marinated salmon roe wasn't too strong in flavor, and the crunchy texture of the salmon roe was abundant. The saury had a gentle salt taste that enhanced the aroma of the saury, and the smooth texture was very delicious. The conger eel had a hint of yuzu fragrance, and the melt-in-your-mouth texture and savory aroma were truly delicious. The dried gourd roll with wasabi had a firm texture and a good flavor. The pickles were soy sauce-marinated mountain burdock. The pickles had a good texture. The pickled ginger had a strong acidity and spicy ginger flavor, with a hint of sweetness that served as a palate cleanser. The sushi rice was still firm, with a good bite to it and a strong presence. Overall, it was a very high-quality and wonderful meal! I am completely satisfied with being able to enjoy authentic sushi at a reasonable price. I definitely want to come back again.

Visited for lunch on a weekday at the 11:30 seating. It's a two-turn system. Despite being a weekday, it was fully booked! Located behind Kabuki-za, diagonally across from Magazine House, it's easy to find, but the entrance is on the side street so be careful. Access to the underground restaurant is only via stairs. The course consists of 10 pieces of sushi. The daytime course, Tsubaki, costs 7,500 yen. The rice is firm and refreshing. The aftertaste is short, allowing the toppings to shine. The fluffy katsuo and perfectly cooked anago were delicious. The fluffy katsuo and loosened rice, along with the perfectly warm anago, made me happy from lunchtime. I was worried if 10 pieces would be enough, but starting with a gentle chawanmushi and a well-balanced meal, it was just right. The meal included: Chawanmushi with plum, Hirame, Buri, Aoriika, Akami marinated in soy sauce, Katsuo, Chutoro, Kohada, Aji, Maki with new ikura, Anago, Miso soup, Maki with kanpyo, and Soy sauce-marinated tamagobou.

I thought about walking from Shinbashi, but it was too hot so I gave up. I headed to the East Ginza Station on the Hibiya Line, exit number five. I opened a door that looked like a "secret room" and went downstairs, then another door opened to reveal a counter with about eight seats. It had an adult, beautiful and calm atmosphere. Two people served us with smiles, and we had a pleasant conversation in a friendly atmosphere. The mobile phone signal is a bit weak. The first dish that came out was a steamed plum chawanmushi with bonito and plum flavor, which was irresistible to me as a plum lover. It was quite hot! The small size was just right, and it melted smoothly in the mouth. The flounder was firm and delicious with well-seasoned sushi rice. The yellowtail sashimi had a yuzu fragrance that spread gently in the mouth. The fatty tuna melted in the mouth! The best part!! The horse mackerel was surprisingly soft, but still had a firm texture. It was delicious! The horse mackerel was seasoned well. The salmon roe was popping in the mouth. There was a lot of it and it was amazing! The salmon roe is said to be in season around summer. The miso soup with seaweed was also the perfect size. The fluffy eel with a sweet sauce was incredibly delicious. The burdock with soy sauce was cut into halves due to its large size. The simmered gourd was big and had a strong wasabi flavor. The soy sauce-marinated egg was just the right size. The rolled omelette had a nice texture, not too fluffy, and had a slight warmth to it. I could still eat more! But I'll stop here and let my stomach be happy. That was the amount of food. It seems to be popular with foreign tourists as well. I had a wonderful time and would like to visit again.

I had the 7500 yen course for lunch today. The restaurant is located downstairs, and as you enter, you are greeted by staff in cute kimonos with a smile. When you sit at the counter, the chef asks if you have any preferences. - Edamame Chawanmushi: The broth is flavorful with a nice saltiness, crunchy edamame, and a smooth chawanmushi. - Hirame Sushi: The first sushi I had, with a surprising fragrant taste of fresh wasabi. The hirame was delicious. - Striped Jack: Fatty and bouncy. - Bigfin Reef Squid: Fine cuts with a touch of salt, rich and sticky. - Lean Tuna Soy-Marinated: Thick, tender, and flavorful. - Young Sea Bream: Light yuzu aroma, melts in your mouth. - Red Snapper with Perilla Leaf: Perilla leaf on top, perfect match with red snapper. - Scallop: Thick and sweet. - Fresh Salmon Roe: Large pearls that pop, a delightful experience. - Medium-Fatty Tuna: Smooth texture, rich flavor, and just the right amount of fat. - Conger Eel: Freshly made, sweet sauce. - Dried Gourd Roll, Egg Roll, Miso Soup with Seaweed: All incredibly delicious. Watching the chef's skills up close was very enjoyable. A moment of bliss, thinking of the faces of loved ones. A wonderful place that makes you want to bring family and friends.

About a 5-minute walk from Ginza Station, this sushi restaurant has a stylish exterior while still maintaining a traditional sushi restaurant feel with a modern atmosphere. The head chef has experience from Ginza Kyubei, so I was looking forward to it. Lunch is served at 11:30 or 12:45, and the pace of serving is just right - not too slow, so you can enjoy the meal without feeling rushed. The counter, although only 8 seats, is quite spacious. It's nice to have enough space to put and store your belongings, especially for those who may have a laptop or documents with them during lunch. Despite the reasonable lunch prices, the quality of the sushi remains high, with carefully prepared ingredients. The 10-piece sushi set was just the right amount. The atmosphere is relaxed, making it suitable for various occasions.

Ginza Sushi Yu is located about a 3-minute walk from Higashi-Ginza Station. I visited this restaurant based on the recommendation of a gourmet friend. The atmosphere is very sophisticated with a high-class feel, and the lunch menu is reasonably priced, so reservations tend to fill up quickly. I visited on a weekday and ordered the 10-piece sushi course for 7,500 yen. The course included edamame chawanmushi, 10 pieces of nigiri sushi, and various side dishes. The chawanmushi was hot and smooth with a topping of edamame paste. Each piece of sushi was delicious, with highlights including the Shimaji (striped jack) that separated beautifully in the mouth, the marinated akami (lean tuna) with a rich flavor, and the sweet and fresh scallop. The service was also excellent, with the hostess providing attentive care and even offering the Wi-Fi password. Overall, it was a satisfying experience, and I would love to visit again for a special treat. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Located close to the famous Kabuki-za theater in Ginza, I visited "Ginza Sushi Yu". They have two rounds of seating at 11:30 and 12:30, making it convenient for those looking for a quick lunch. I was guided to the counter seats by a female staff member in a kimono. The head chef and his assistant were preparing the sushi. To start, I was served rococotokyo beer in a wine glass. The first course was a steamed edamame rice bowl with edamame paste. The flavor was traditional Edo-style, not too strong. The flounder sushi was fresh and sweet with a firm texture, and the rice was slightly firm. The horse mackerel sushi was large and refreshing, while the squid was tender. The new-style sushi had a nice balance of flavors. The horse mackerel with salmon roe was generous in portion. The meal continued with red miso soup with seaweed, grilled eel with yuzu zest, and rolled omelette. The sushi rice was slightly larger in size, typical of Tsukiji and Shin-Tomicho area. Overall, even though I don't usually have sushi for lunch, I enjoyed my meal at Ginza Sushi Yu. It was a pleasant surprise, and I would like to visit again, maybe for dinner next time. They also have a wide selection of sake, which is a plus.

Hello, everyone! I am the gourmet servant, Kogao no Gurume☆. I wonder why the reviews for Itsutsu in Higashi Ginza are more popular than the reviews for restaurants like Sezan in Kyobashi, Kondo in Ginza, and TOKi in Shimbashi. What's going on in the world? Anyway, I was called back to the Higashi Ginza area once again. As I walked behind the Kabuki-za theater, I noticed long lines at restaurants like Ogawa for sushi and Hanayama Udon. Are they really that delicious? I arrived at Yu in Higashi Ginza, and it was interesting to see that it's located underground. I decided to go down the stairs first, following the principle of ladies first. The interior of the restaurant was cool and modern, with a combination of concrete and white wood that I really liked. As I entered, I greeted the staff and ordered a bottle of Ebisu beer. Unfortunately, the beer was poured poorly into the glass, but I didn't let it bother me. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was harmonious and well-designed, creating a comfortable dining experience. The chef greeted me and I appreciated that he didn't use the term "master" as I find it pretentious in high-end dining establishments. I enjoyed a glass of beer and admired the interior design of the restaurant, which was stylish and inviting. The first dish, a chawanmushi with grated edamame on top, was delicious and perfect for the summer. Overall, the restaurant had a cool and stylish atmosphere, making it a great choice for a date or business meal. Another successful dining experience in Higashi Ginza!

I visited the restaurant for lunch by making a reservation. Lunch hours are divided into two sessions, from 11:30 AM to 12:45 PM. It's convenient to have a quick meal within the limited time frame. The location is in Higashi-Ginza, about a 10-minute walk from the Marunouchi Line station I used that day. Despite being a weekday, the counter was fully occupied, so making a reservation is recommended. I ordered the 10-piece sushi and soup set for 7,500 yen. The menu included edamame chawanmushi, hirame sushi, akami zuke, aoriika with sudachi and salt, toro, ajikura, anago, miso soup with nori, kanpyo maki, asazuke of Izumi water eggplant, and tamagoyaki. I was very full after the meal. Everything was delicious, but my favorite was the akami zuke. It was so fluffy. The toro was also rich and delicious. The restaurant had a sophisticated sushi bar atmosphere, a friendly head chef, and efficient staff, making it very comfortable. Due to its location in Ginza, it is popular among foreigners as well. It was a very enjoyable dining experience. Thank you for the meal.

Lunch with my sushi-loving mother in Ginza. Recommended by a gourmet friend. We had the 7,500 yen 10-piece sushi course. Started with edamame chawanmushi as an appetizer. The edamame paste was just right. For drinks, we chose Suntory Yamazaki water (sparkling). And then the sushi course began: 1. Flounder 2. Striped jack 3. Bigfin reef squid with salt and sudachi 4. Lean tuna marinated in soy sauce 5. Sea bream 6. Medium fatty tuna 7. Scallop with salt and sudachi 8. Dashi-cured salmon roe 9. Horse mackerel with salt, shiso, and asatsuki 10. Gourd roll. Each piece of sushi melted in the mouth. All were delicious, but the horse mackerel was particularly impressive. The dashi-cured salmon roe was refreshingly good too! Finally, we had miso soup with seaweed and eggplant with egg. The eggplant was light and refreshing. The meal flowed smoothly and was enjoyable. The atmosphere was suitable for a business lunch as well. The last tea was also delicious. I would like to come back again.

This was my second time having lunch here. The interior is elegant and stylish, creating a very comfortable atmosphere. I was impressed by the hospitality of the staff who promptly checked on us when our drinks were running low. We were served 14 items including sushi, soup, and pickles. The chef explained each dish in detail, which was very helpful.

"Ginza Sushi Yu" is a sushi restaurant in Ginza that has been selected as one of the top 5000 on Tabelog. It is located near the Kabuki-za in Higashi-Ginza. Today, I tried the lunch course for 10,000 yen, which included the following: - Edamame chawanmushi - Hirame konbu-jime - Kasugodai - Akami - Aori-ika (the balance between the rice and the toppings felt a bit off) - Black sea bream (the seared black sea bream with good fat content was delicious, but the saltiness was a bit strong) - Otoro (the way the toppings were cut was good, with a larger size that matched well with the rice) - Kuruma-ebi (unfortunately, the wasabi was a bit overpowering) - Kohada - Ishigakigai - Murasaki uni - Aji - Anago - Miso soup with seaweed - Tekkamaki - Mizunasu - Tamago The rice and toppings were slightly larger than average, providing a satisfying eating experience. Overall, the balance between the toppings and rice in the nigiri was good, creating a pleasant unity in the mouth. The pickled ginger had a moderate sweetness and bitterness that would appeal to many. The atmosphere was comfortable thanks to the friendly head chef. The only downsides were the poor cellphone reception underground and some inconsistency in the nigiri. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. #GinzaSushiYu #GinzaGourmet #GinzaDinner #GinzaLunch #Sushi #Sushi #DeliciousSushi #ConnectWithGourmetLovers #GourmetStagram #Gurunote #ConnectWithGourmetLovers #FoodTerrorStagram #FoodTerrorist #FoodieTravel #DeliciousnessIsHappiness #GourmetFriendsWanted #GourmetClub #FoodieGirls #FoodieBoys #WantToConnectWithGourmets #KantoGourmet #FoodReviewStagram #GourmetReport #GourmetWriter #FoodWriter #BGradeGourmetInformation #TokyoFoodie

I used this restaurant for lunch for the first time! They had a 7,500 yen course and a 10,000 yen course, and I chose the 10,000 yen course this time. They seem to source their ingredients from good places, and the quality of the food was really good. There were two sushi chefs working that day, and I sat at the counter. The chef who served me was very friendly and we had a good conversation, creating a nice atmosphere. I would like to visit again for dinner next time!! I later brought my subordinates with me. They were very happy, so it was worth bringing them!

The head chef meticulously prepares each dish to bring out the maximum flavor of the fish, making everything delicious. Although it is a counter-only restaurant, it is calm and allows for a leisurely meal. It is perfect for entertaining guests or having a special meal with loved ones. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

During summer vacation, I wanted to have a slightly elegant sushi lunch in Ginza. The restaurant is located underground near Kabukiza Theater, and it is conveniently close to the station. The interior has a luxurious and adult atmosphere. The counter was quickly filled with customers, many of whom were from overseas, showing the demand for inbound tourism. The staff were fluent in English. One thing that made me happy was that the wet towel was very cold. It was so refreshing as it was extremely hot outside! The minty scent of the wet towel was invigorating! I started with a toast with potato shochu mixed with soda. The appetizer was steamed edamame with smooth steamed egg underneath the edamame sauce. It was so delicious that I couldn't help but exclaim. The sushi course began with flounder and gizzard shad with sudachi citrus, which was refreshing. I enjoyed sake with lean tuna, marinated tuna, and firefly squid. The fatty tuna melted in my mouth. The scallop was thick and had a satisfying texture. The horse mackerel and salmon roe with broth overflowed with flavor. The mackerel and eel were fluffy and delicious. The pickled gourd roll had a perfect balance of sweetness and spiciness. The rolled omelette and water eggplant were sweet and fluffy, making a perfect dessert. I ended the meal with another glass of potato shochu. It was a very satisfying sushi lunch at Sato's.

Sushi restaurant near Kabuki-za. The restaurant is located downstairs with only 8 seats at the counter, creating a luxurious and lovely atmosphere. We went for the second lunch session starting at 12:45. We started with a toast with a highball and steamed edamame. The nigiri sushi started with flounder, followed by two types of tuna (lean and medium fatty), conger eel, scallop, and a total of 10 pieces. In addition, we had a soup with dried gourd roll, and finally, water eggplant and a dessert-like egg omelette. Not only delicious, but also a sufficient amount even for men. The dried gourd roll was especially delicious. As a fan of dried gourd roll as a closure after sushi, I was very satisfied. You can enjoy authentic Edomae sushi quickly in about an hour, making it highly recommended for business people during lunch break or foreigners who want to experience various things.

Located just a few minutes from the Kabuki-za theater in Ginza, this restaurant is not situated on a main street, but rather hidden away, making it intriguing. The interior, nestled in the basement of a beautiful building, is a clean and neat space with a base of white wood. They have a high-quality air purifier, so you won't detect any of the typical fishy smell associated with Japanese cuisine. As for the taste, the restaurant lives up to its good reputation, boasting flavors worthy of the name Ginza. The sushi is made with a variety of seasonal ingredients, and the combination of the perfectly seasoned rice and toppings is truly exquisite. The friendly owner is happy to engage in enjoyable conversation if approached, but also focuses intently on his craft if left undisturbed. Overall, it was a very pleasant dining experience.
