There was a celebration and I splurged on the "Rozan Course" at a restaurant. I was able to choose some dishes, and I chose the "Otoro Steak". It literally melted in my mouth... I felt like there were many foreign customers, but all the dishes, including the dessert melon, were delicious. Even though it was lunch, the sake went down smoothly^^

I used it for a banquet. The most luxurious course at Rokusanjin. Although other dishes are named after famous local grilled dishes, they don't necessarily come on Rokusanjin plates. The volume was very generous, and when the last scroll was served, I was surprised by how much we were getting! It was also nice to be able to choose one grilled dish from items such as throat, silver cod, the strongest grilled dish, and grilled fatty tuna. It's not exactly cost-effective, especially when it comes to alcoholic beverages, so be prepared. I would like to use it again on a special occasion.

This was my first time at Kyubei. I sat at the counter and received around 16 pieces of sushi. I'm not sure which course I ordered, but each piece was not too big. The chef's attention to detail was very much appreciated and the atmosphere was great. Normally, I get full after about 10 pieces, but this time I finished everything without a problem. The hojicha ice cream at the end was also delicious.

■ Usage scene: Visited for lunch with grandparents on a holiday. ■ Order: Sushi lunch set [Oribe] for 8,250 yen including tax. ■ Impression: This is the Shinjuku branch of the famous Ginza restaurant Kyubei. The quality was consistent and the variety of sushi was excellent. The sushi we had included: Chutoro, Hirame, Madai, Ebi, Ikura, Akami, Hotate, Katsuo-nitsuke, Anago (salt and sauce), Shinko Maki, Kappamaki. I don't like kanpyo, so they kindly changed it to shinko maki for me. The katsuo in the sushi was particularly delicious. The salted anago was a fresh experience for me as I don't have it often. The head chef was friendly and made the lunch enjoyable. The restaurant is located in the back of a hotel, so it might be a bit difficult to find. It's recommended to arrive with some extra time for important appointments. ■ Interior: You can sit at the counter and watch the sushi being made right in front of you. There are also table seats towards the back. ■ Circumstances of use: Visited on a Saturday afternoon, and it was relatively quiet. ■ Location & Access: 5 minutes walk from Shinjuku station.

It was my birthday, so I treated myself to Kyubei. It's always delicious whenever I come, and the staff are friendly, making it easy to enjoy without feeling nervous. The sensation of the rice crumbling in my mouth is something I first experienced at Kyubei. I really love the delicate way they make their sushi. I'd love to visit again on another special occasion.

I had a luxurious treat with lunch at Kyuhei on the 7th floor of Keio Plaza Hotel. I was a bit nervous at first, but the chef was friendly and welcoming, so I had a great time. I recommend making a reservation for the counter seats. As it was my first time, I opted for the course menu instead of a la carte. The "Kyuhei" course costs ¥18150 and includes 16 pieces of sushi and rolls. At the counter, they asked about preferences and allergies. They also asked if I wanted more, normal, or less rice in the sushi. I chose normal, but they were willing to adjust if needed. The attentive and polite service was excellent. The sushi was perfectly balanced in terms of rice and fish, and everything was delicious. Some highlights for me were the crispy squid, the shrimp cooked just right, and the various tuna options. The seared fatty tuna with garlic was particularly amazing. The sea urchin sushi was sweet and delicious, and the herring sushi was also to my liking. The eel was soft and fluffy, and the eel bone crackers were a nice touch. Overall, the course was satisfying, with colorful and visually appealing sushi served by skilled chefs at the counter. It was a great experience, although the prices for drinks were a bit high. The value for money may not be the best, but I would still love to come back to this place in Shinjuku occasionally. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Visited Ginza Kyubei in Nishi-Shinjuku with my family. We opted for the Kyubei course and a selection of sashimi, leaving it up to the head chef. Thanks to a friend's recommendation, we were able to order a variety of dishes. The conversation was enjoyable and the sushi was exquisite. It was a great experience. On this day, there was a World Cup match between Japan and Germany. Unbelievably, I didn't think Japan would win, so I ended up not worrying about the time. The game started at 10 p.m., so I was able to watch it at home after leaving the restaurant. It was truly a pleasant day. Interestingly, the counter we sat at in Ginza Kyubei was filled with foreigners, except for us. Perhaps it was due to the location near Keio Plaza Hotel or the Japan World Cup match. It's not superstition, but I hope to visit again in four years for the next World Cup. Thank you for the wonderful meal. Visit Date: November 23, 2022

This time, I visited the Ginza Kyubei Keio Plaza Hotel branch in Shinjuku, which is known for its sushi. It's not in Ginza, but the quality is almost the same. The entrance is quiet as it is inside the hotel. You can sit at the counter and watch the sushi chef prepare your meal. I ordered the Shino course (7,128 yen). The meal started with a seaweed salad. Then, I was served nigiri sushi including chutoro, sea urchin, gizzard shad, shrimp, squid, conger eel, and eel, each served as one piece. The rice was perfectly packed and melted in the mouth, but in terms of taste, there are many other delicious sushi restaurants out there. The price is high, so I felt that way. If the price were lower, the cost-performance ratio might be good, but that's just my personal opinion based on my experiences with sushi. When it comes to being the best sushi restaurant in Japan, I can't really tell. Being top-notch might involve factors like service and atmosphere, but I personally focus more on the taste. So, if you love Kyubei, I apologize! This is just my subjective opinion, so please don't take it to heart.

I visited for lunch. There were four types of sushi sets, and I chose the second most expensive one. The sushi was served in three rounds. I chose to have the shrimp served raw, and they even grilled the heads for me to eat. Normally, I only go to conveyor belt sushi restaurants, so I was worried if the smaller sushi portions would fill me up, but I ended up feeling full after the last plate. The dessert ice cream was also delicious.

I found it rare for a high-end restaurant like this to offer a la carte options, which was nice. Everything I ordered was delicious and satisfying, but the cheaper sushi and rolls with green onions were just okay. Everything else was great, and the chef's service was excellent. I would definitely want to go back to this restaurant.

It was lunchtime and the restaurant was not crowded, so I felt comfortable starting my meal. The size and freshness of the sushi were satisfying, but the vinegar in the rice was strong, which might not be to everyone's taste. Overall, it was a good place to enjoy a relaxed lunch at a reasonable price. Thank you for the meal.

The other day, I visited Kyubei, which I had been curious about for a while, located inside Keio Plaza Hotel in Nishi-Shinjuku. This place is a famous sushi restaurant and it was my first time here! We ordered a course and everything we ate was incredibly delicious! I will definitely visit again!

When it comes to Hotel Sushi in Nishi-Shinjuku, I used to love Sushi Miyako at the Hyatt Regency. Now it seems to have moved to the basement of the Hilton, but I have fond memories of enjoying a cool, refreshing beer in the lush and open space of Shinjuku Central Park across the street in the summer. Now, let's talk about Kyubei. This place is like a mega farm in the sushi world, producing many top-notch sushi chefs. I visited with my colleagues for a small celebration. We had the Oribe course for about 9,000 yen, along with beers and two Tokiwa sodas. The atmosphere on the 7th floor of Kyoto Plaza in Nishi-Shinjuku is quiet and peaceful, a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the area below. The entrance may be a bit hard to find, but if you wander around a bit, the staff will guide you in. We sat at a table this time, but the calm ambiance, including at the counter, was excellent. The service from the staff was not over-the-top, but it was sufficient. The sushi was very cute. It was delicious, but you really had to search for the flavor because the pieces were quite small. So, even though we had 10 pieces of nigiri and some rolls, we didn't feel very satisfied in terms of portion size. It would be better to start with some appetizers while drinking (we were already drinking during lunch) and then finish with the sushi. Overall, the workmanship was solid, and the closing dish was to my liking. The sake was expensive, though. A bottle of Dassai was over 3,000 yen for a glass, and even a Tokiwa soda was about 1,000 yen. That's just how it is, I guess. I wish they showed more value for the price. The total bill was around 13,000 yen per person. In the end, what it comes down to is that sushi that can be a snack in the evening is fine, but sushi that really fills you up is better for lunch. Despite my criticisms, I still enjoy hotel sushi, so I'll continue to explore more places.

I visited the famous Kyubei restaurant in Shinjuku Keio Plaza Hotel in Ginza. Although it was a branch in Shinjuku and not the main store, it was still difficult to make a reservation. I was surprised to see that there was a tatami counter. Even though I had reserved a seat at the counter, I was asked to take off my shoes, which made me think there was a mistake in the reservation, but I understood once I sat down. Personally, I would have preferred to keep my shoes on. The meal started with appetizers and sushi, which went well with the drinks. I ended up drinking too much and was surprised by the bill. It was a great experience. Thank you for the meal.

Located in Ginza, Kyubei has its main store and this time I visited their branch on the 7th floor of Shinjuku Keio Plaza Hotel. I ordered a course that consisted of only nigiri sushi and enjoyed 16 different types of nigiri. As expected from a renowned restaurant, the ingredients were incredibly fresh and delicious! Among them, the highlights were the marinated kamasu (barracuda), shrimp, and seared otoro (fatty tuna). The marinated kamasu had a rich flavor from the kelp, the shrimp was half-cooked which brought out its sweetness and great texture, and the seared otoro was almost like melting meat with a hint of garlic and ginger. I also added a live prawn which was firm and tasty as well. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Sushi Series Tokyo Edition Ginza Kyubei To KPH-san: It's not often that I can eat sushi, and even less often that I can enjoy Kyubei's sushi. But once in a while, like at the end of the year, I like to indulge a little and look back on the year.

I visited the famous Kyubei at Shinjuku Keio Plaza Hotel for the first time. I started with a single dish and then had 16 pieces of sushi. Each piece was delicious, especially the ikura which was firm and had a great texture, my favorite! However, overall, I wasn't completely blown away. Everything was just good, nothing exceptional. If I had to pay out of pocket, I would probably choose a different place for the same price. Maybe the name Kyubei played a role, but I felt the service was just okay. Nonetheless, I was satisfied with my long-awaited sushi experience. Thank you for the meal.

I arrived at the Kyoto Plaza Hotel on the 7th floor at 6:00 pm and passed through the lobby with a luxurious and calm atmosphere. I started in a private room, but moved to the counter around 7:00 pm when it became available. I had a 12-piece set, followed by medium fatty tuna, live sweet shrimp, sea urchin, and fatty tuna. I also enjoyed Ebisu beer, Moet & Chandon, and three bottles of Chablis, all of which left me very satisfied.

On this day, it was a last-minute decision to have dinner with my dad, and I was struggling to find a restaurant that had availability. Eventually, I decided to try Kyubei, even though I didn't have a reservation. In the past, I had a bad experience with sushi at a different restaurant in the New Otani hotel, so I was a bit hesitant. However, Kyubei turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The sushi was traditional and delicious, with perfectly seasoned rice and well-prepared ingredients like conger eel and gizzard shad. The price was a bit high, around 80,000 yen for two people without alcohol, which may make it difficult to visit frequently. It seems like the sushi scene has changed, with more affordable options becoming popular. Overall, it was a good meal at Kyubei, and I hope they can continue to thrive despite the changing trends.
