We used it for a banquet. The interior of the restaurant has a lively yet calming atmosphere. We were seated at a slightly secluded table. We had reserved a course, so we enjoyed various dishes such as appetizers, sashimi, chawanmushi, grilled dishes, and sushi. Each dish had a strong and delicious flavor, and we were very satisfied. We would like to visit again.

Casual sushi restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere, even though it's located in Ginza. You can choose omakase or your favorite sushi directly from the showcase, without feeling intimidated. Both the appetizers and nigiri have a friendly taste. Sushi Hisami 050-5456-9815, Tokyo, Chuo-ku, Ginza 8-5-10 Kanari Building 2nd floor.

Today we went to Ginza. We visited "Ginza Sushi Kusumi" with 5 people. "Kusumi" is located in Ginza 8-chome, along Namiki Street in the Kinari Building on the 2nd floor. It is a casual and reasonably priced sushi restaurant, more homey than upscale. We had a variety of dishes, including sashimi, nigiri sushi, and hot dishes. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, and we enjoyed the delicious food and drinks. The highlight was the fresh and flavorful sushi, especially the uni and chutoro. Overall, it was a great dining experience in Ginza.

I made a reservation for the "casual course" for the first time. The restaurant was clean and tidy, and the service was attentive. The course included appetizers, sashimi, fried dishes, and about 7 pieces of sushi, all of which were delicious and carefully prepared. When they served two types of sea urchin for comparison, even though I'm not a big fan of sea urchin, I found them to be sweet and tasty, and I could also taste the difference in flavors. From this sea urchin experience, I felt that they would provide delicious sushi even when the ingredients change with the seasons. The lack of formality typical of Ginza restaurants was also a nice touch. I think the cost performance is good as well. It's a sushi restaurant that I've come to like after a long time.

Emergency declaration restrictions have been eased, so I visited Kyusumi with a Ginza hostess for the first time in a while. Previously, to be honest, the taste and service were not up to par with other sushi restaurants in Ginza. However, the atmosphere of the restaurant and the head chef have changed (perhaps due to the influence of the pandemic), so I sat at the counter with high expectations. First, the appetizer was 4.5 points! It had a clever presentation and was delicious. The drinks were 4.0 points. Currently, for health reasons, I only drink shochu with carbonated water. The sushi was 4.3 points and had become more delicious. As I was leaving, I even received inari sushi as a souvenir. The sushi restaurant has developed into one that is not ashamed of Ginza. The prices are reasonable, and I highly recommend it.

Everything was great.

On October 6, 2014 (Monday), dinner time was at 10:00 PM. I wanted to eat sushi, so I headed to Ginza, but there were few open restaurants. While searching for new restaurants, I arrived at Hachome, where clubs are concentrated. On the second floor of a building near Porsche Building, there was a new, elegant wooden door in a building with small clubs scattered around Ginza. It seemed like a large group of customers had just left, so I was able to occupy the counter and enjoy my meal. First, I was served an appetizer: - White fish salad... Fresh and transparent white fish with a touch of soy sauce and ginger soy sauce. Next, I had some sashimi cut for me. (Recommended dishes are marked with ◎) ◎Medium fatty tuna... Soft texture with a rich flavor of fat. The chef also takes pride in their tuna. - Flounder - Mackerel ◎Bonito belly... Soft and flavorful, with the soy sauce seeping in from the finely chopped knife. ◎Pacific saury... Truly in season, with a perfect level of melting fat. For grilled dishes, I had: - Seared squid And for the finale, some nigiri sushi. ◎Medium fatty tuna... Slightly sweet? The sashimi was better. ◎Eel... Plump texture, making a strong statement that almost erases the presence of rice. Delicious. - Sea urchin battleship ◎Egg omelette... Orange in some parts, due to being so fresh that it couldn't be completely mixed. Since I was dining alone, I felt a bit uncomfortable with the atmosphere typical of regular customers, but I had various conversations starting from the nigiri. The chef has been making sushi in Ginza for about 40 years since he started at 18 years old. He mentioned that he personally goes to Tsukiji for ingredients, but due to the typhoon that day, he was worried about tomorrow's supply. They are open until 2:00 AM and smoking is allowed at the counter. A restaurant that is also appreciated by the nightlife crowd. The bill was kindly taken care of as a substitute for a business card. How stylish.

I have been brought to this restaurant by a regular customer who has been coming here for 20 years. While the majority of the customers are regulars, newcomers can also feel comfortable in this cozy space. The atmosphere is welcoming, like enjoying oranges and rice crackers in a warm kotatsu at your grandparents' house. The head chef and his assistant have been working together for many years, and their teamwork is seamless. Some of the popular dishes include scallop isobe-yaki sprinkled with shichimi, grilled green onions, and simmered kinki fish. Although it is a sushi restaurant, I personally enjoy trying a variety of appetizers rather than just nigiri sushi. I particularly like the warm tamagoyaki here. The white wine served here is from Tuscany. Since many customers bring their companions, it's interesting to listen in on their conversations. This restaurant offers a unique experience where you can catch a glimpse of the nightlife and dynamics of Ginza, which you wouldn't find in a trendy sushi restaurant listed on food review sites. A familiar restaurant like this one seems to hold a special place in everyone's heart. I heard they are open until late at night, so I would love to visit one day to see what the after-hours scene is like (laughs).

Sorry for the little digression at the beginning. Two years ago, I visited a sushi restaurant in Asakusa. The serious owner of Bentenzan Mikaekosushi prepared sushi, and all the serious customers quietly enjoyed their meals. The scene at that restaurant where no one laughed was unique, so I wrote a review titled "No Laughing Allowed." A friend who had read my review recently invited me to a restaurant called "The Sushi Place Where You Can Laugh." So, on a Saturday night, four of us visited the restaurant in Ginza, on the second floor of a building on Namiki Street. As soon as we entered, we saw a beautiful white wooden counter. There were also tables and semi-private rooms. The atmosphere was bright and the staff greeted us with bright smiles. I immediately understood the meaning of "The Sushi Place Where You Can Laugh." Often, I feel nervous at sushi counters, especially in Ginza, as someone not used to the setting. I may appreciate the delicious sushi, but I often struggle to have a good time. However, this restaurant allows you to enjoy delicious sushi and drinks without any tension. We started with a toast with beer and then had plenty of sake. We had a few appetizers and a few pieces of sushi in omakase style. The chef also served seared sushi, like green onion and saury, for a friend who likes it. The tamagoyaki had a strong dashi flavor and sweetness, which may be rare for a sushi restaurant (but I liked it). The abalone, conger eel, and medium fatty tuna were all delicious. The chef, who has been in the industry for 30 years, uses the best ingredients sourced from Tsukiji, which is evident in the quality of the dishes. We had the omakase course, but even if you specify a budget like "a 10,000 yen course," I'm sure the chef would accommodate. Don't feel nervous just because it's a sushi restaurant in Ginza. If you don't know something, just ask. This restaurant is welcoming and flexible. You can be yourself without any pretense, but still enjoy top-notch sushi in Ginza. I think it's a great restaurant.

I don't usually visit sushi restaurants with counters, but I was invited by friends and decided to go (laughs). There were four of us at the counter, and we started with a toast with beer. The dishes that came out were all fresh and generously sized, typical of Ginza. The conversation was lively, and the explanations were easy to understand. They also wrapped the toppings in seaweed if requested, which was delicious. I mainly drank hot sake, and they had a great selection of Japanese sake, including Tan sake. There was no menu, so we mostly left it up to the chef without checking the prices. I was prepared for the location, both in terms of price and quality of the dishes. It might be a bit difficult to visit alone, but it could be a great place to impress a date. Despite a few minor mishaps, it was a good restaurant experience.

I visited a sushi restaurant in Ginza with some close friends. I was a bit nervous because when you think of sushi in Ginza, you often think of high prices, but I found this place to be quite reasonable. We had a relaxing time and enjoyed a variety of sashimi and nigiri. The specialty of this place is the "negima" which is a play on words for "tuna in between leeks" (laughs). The owner of the restaurant has a playful spirit, which made the experience very enjoyable. His funny stories added a nice touch to our fun gathering. Everything we tried was delicious, but what stood out to me was the grilled scallop with seaweed. It was topped with shichimi spice and was quite tasty. The scallop was huge and the grilled eel was also delicious. The eel was grilled on the surface, giving it a nice smoky flavor. I highly recommend it. The fatty tuna was also fantastic, and the thinly sliced green onions added a nice touch. The sashimi was varied and delicious, and despite having some drinks as well, the total bill came out to be quite affordable at 12000 yen. The owner mentioned that the restaurant used to have a different name before, but I'm not sure about the details. Overall, it was a great dining experience and I look forward to visiting again. It seems like the owner used to run a sushi restaurant called "Hakeino" as well.

Forget about all the complicated things like work and personal life, spread your wings and enjoy yourself. No need to be serious or analyze the sushi, just simply have fun. I like the relaxed atmosphere that allows me to do that. It's nice once in a while. It feels like I'm being encouraged to do so, maybe that's why I keep coming back. To sushi enthusiasts, it may seem like a carefree way to enjoy sushi, but I also want to enjoy some sake. I end up drinking more than necessary, and I'm happy when they serve the drinks I want. -- Some may point out, "Why are there no pictures of the sushi?" But by the time I'm having it, I don't remember! I have visited multiple times, mostly alone. Last visit updated in April 2013.

Located on the 2nd floor of Kanari Building, 8th block of Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, is Hisashi, where I had a small dinner gathering. Ginza, one of Japan's most famous bustling districts. After passing through the evening crowds, I arrived at the building. As I entered, it felt like a sushi restaurant with a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The interior featured a long white wooden counter, making it suitable for solo diners as well. They offer set courses starting from 10,000 or 12,000 yen, but they are flexible in their offerings. The menu includes sushi, appetizers, sashimi, simmered dishes, grilled dishes, etc., based on the day's ingredients. They have a variety of drinks like draft beer, sake, shochu, wine, etc. I opted for the chef's choice course and requested something that would pair well with alcohol. The dishes I enjoyed included tuna innards, sea bass sashimi, fatty tuna sashimi, vinegar-pickled mackerel, grilled scallop with chili, grilled flatfish skin, sardine sashimi, grilled squid mouth, grilled sardine, sea urchin, and more. The chef, with 30 years of experience, sources fresh ingredients daily from Tsukiji Market. I particularly enjoyed the interaction with the chef while sitting at the counter. The total cost for the evening was around 15,000 yen. It was a peaceful dining experience in a hidden gem of Ginza, where I could relax and enjoy the quality food and drinks.

In the midst of high-end shops lining Ginza Hacchome, there was a cozy old-fashioned sushi restaurant with a great atmosphere. Although not cheap, the dishes served by the friendly chef and artisans were truly exquisite. Starting with the appetizers of rapeseed blossoms and vinegar dishes, followed by crab, sashimi, oysters, and sazae, everything was incredibly delicious. It's a great restaurant to visit for both private dining and entertaining guests. I would love to go again soon.

On our wedding anniversary, my wife and I decided to go to the Tokyo International Forum in Yurakucho to watch a concert by Chiharu Matsuyama, as a celebration. Since we rarely go out at night, we planned to have a leisurely dinner in Ginza afterwards. After searching on Tabelog, we decided to visit Kyujumi for dinner. We had the impression that sushi restaurants in Ginza are often high-end and expensive, but when we called to make a reservation, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Upon entering the restaurant, we found the atmosphere to be slightly brighter than what we had imagined for a sushi restaurant, but the chefs and staff were all cheerful and friendly, making us feel very comfortable. Although we don't remember the exact details of the menu, we were satisfied with the beer, wine, sake, shochu, sashimi, and sushi that we ordered. We were expecting to pay around 50,000 to 60,000 yen for the two of us, but to our surprise, the bill came out to just a little over 30,000 yen! We were shocked at how good the food, drinks, and atmosphere were for such a reasonable price. We were thrilled to have found the best value sushi restaurant in Ginza.

In the mountains, there are seasonal fruits, and in the sea, there are seasonal fish. At Kyusumi, we deliver these seasonal fish along with sake to our customers, not just in sushi form. When you enter Kyusumi, you will notice the bright space and a 6-meter white wooden counter. We have counter seats, table seats, and semi-private rooms with raised seating, so you can relax according to your needs. Whether it's a business meeting, a meal with family or friends, or a romantic date, Kyusumi is suitable for any occasion. A customer review mentioned that the souvenir inari sushi was delicious.

On a regular night, I visited a sushi restaurant with a client who is a regular and the president of a company. I did not pay for the meal, so this review is based on their experience. The restaurant is one with a glass display case for the sushi, which is a common setup in Ginza. The atmosphere is calm and the head chef is very friendly and welcoming, as others have mentioned. The teamwork with the staff is good, making it a very comfortable place to dine. The customers included a couple that seemed like they were on a date and a group of businessmen. Due to the regular clientele, there was no set course menu available, but there seemed to be a modified version of a 15,000 yen course. By the time we reached the nigiri sushi, we were already quite full (probably due to the amount of alcohol consumed). For those who enjoy drinking, you may not need the nigiri sushi. In terms of "food quality/taste," it doesn't score extremely high. Overall, the dishes lack creativity and uniqueness. There is nothing that stands out, which can be seen as both comforting and slightly lacking in excitement. The tamagoyaki (sweet egg omelette) was served fresh, but it was not as sweet as expected. It could have been a bit sweeter. The scallop wrapped in seaweed was a standout dish, with a great pairing that went well with alcohol. Despite some minor flaws, it is still a lovely sushi restaurant. The most important thing is the comfortable atmosphere. Thank you for the meal.
