This is a shop with excellent cost performance. I was unable to visit twice in the past due to various reasons, so it became a "Sushi Ogawa" that took over 2 years. When I arrived 45 minutes before opening time on a weekday lunch, there were no other customers. People started lining up gradually about 30 minutes before opening, and it was full as soon as it opened. This time, I ordered "nigiri 1.5 servings". Sitting at the counter, the chef carefully prepared the sushi in front of us, two servings at a time. Just watching the fresh and large pieces of sushi lined up in front of me got me excited. About 15 minutes after entering, the sushi was brought to us. The ingredients were incredibly fresh and delicious, with careful preparation. The rice had a slight unique taste, but for this quality, 1,700 yen (including tax) is a bargain. From uni to chutoro, and marinated sea bream, everything was delicious and satisfying. I will definitely go again next time.

On this day, after finishing personal training, I headed to Ginza. I walked around Higashi Ginza while waiting for my partner. I spotted sushi restaurants on my right and left! I hesitated on which one to go to, but ended up going down the stairs to this particular restaurant! When I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by a giant rake. There were two other customers, a couple with a significant age gap. We started with beer and ordered some appetizers. The sushi pieces were huge! Especially the tuna, from medium fatty to fatty tuna. It was delicious, but I've been finding the fatty parts a bit too strong lately... The combination was a bit overwhelming. We chatted with the chef and had a few pieces of sushi at the end. Sushi made with red vinegar stood out with its acidic taste. The chef had a lovely smile, but the female manager had a stern and high-pressure attitude. The bill came out to 37,000 yen for the two of us. The drink menu didn't have prices listed, so I might have had a bit too much to drink.

I went to East Ginza for a lunch meeting with a client's section chief. Originally, we planned to go to a nearby tonkatsu restaurant, but it was temporarily closed for renovations. I found a crowded restaurant nearby, even though it was already past 1 pm, and decided to check it out on Tabelog. The reviews were good and the prices were reasonable for the Ginza area, so I decided to wait in line. However, the line extended all the way down the stairs, and at one point, the staff had to stop people from lining up. We started lining up at 1:00 pm, finally sat down at 2:00 pm, and finished eating by 2:50 pm. It took a total of 1 hour and 50 minutes for lunch. While the price was cheap at ¥1,700 for 1.5 servings of sushi, I couldn't help but feel like the time spent was a bit too much. The staff seemed to be in a bad mood, probably due to the busy atmosphere, which made me think I won't be coming back. Thank you for the meal.

This was my first visit to this restaurant. I arrived right at the opening time of 11:30 and was lucky to get the last seat. There were already 15 people inside when I arrived. The restaurant had a counter with 10 seats and three tables for 4 people each. The tables were set up so that two people sat side by side. As people at the counter finished, they were asked to move to the counter. The calm and elderly chef was making sushi for each group individually. It took a while for my order to be served, around 12:40, but I didn't mind. The lunch set was 1.5 servings of nigiri for 1700 yen, which I found to be reasonable. The tuna was explained to be salted kama tuna. The squid and simmered squid were particularly delicious. Unfortunately, I found the rice to be a bit too soft for my liking. Everyone received the same appetizer regardless of whether they were drinking alcohol or not. I had a Kirin Lager for 880 yen. Although the rice wasn't to my taste, I don't think I will revisit, but I would like to come back to have a conversation with the chef in a more relaxed evening setting. He seemed very charming. This restaurant is a rare find in this area where you can eat a lot of sushi for a reasonable price. I hope the chef stays healthy and keeps the restaurant going. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this place in Ginza for sushi lunch on a regular day. The restaurant is located underground, so you may need to take precautions against the heat. I was able to enter without much of a wait, but the wait inside was longer than I expected, so it's best to have some extra time. The sushi was delicious, and the relaxed, homely atmosphere was nice. It was not like fancy high-end sushi, but rather sushi with a flavorful touch by the chef.

Located about 2 minutes from Higashi-Ginza Station, "Ginza Sushi Ogawa" is a hidden gem in Ginza where you can enjoy delicious sushi at a great cost performance. The master and the female owner run the restaurant together and they seemed to be working very hard. When I entered the restaurant, their cheerful greetings were very pleasant. They don't pre-make the sushi, so each piece is carefully crafted, which is great. The restaurant has 10 counter seats and 2 table seats. Since it's run by just the two of them, the turnover is not very fast, so please be prepared to wait patiently. I arrived at 12:00 and waited for about 30 minutes. When I left, there was a longer line than when I arrived. The restaurant is located underground, so be prepared for the heat while waiting. I ordered the "Nigiri 1.5 servings for 1 person" for 1700 yen. This is a popular option at the restaurant. The quality of the sushi is amazing, especially the uni which is rich and creamy. The uni bowl for 2200 yen is also a great deal. [Business Hours] 11:30-14:00, 17:30-22:00 (Saturdays only 17:30-21:00) Closed on Sundays and holidays.

I couldn't believe I could eat such delicious sushi at a lunch price! I had a satisfying 1.5 servings for 1,700 yen. The chef and the lady owner were both wonderful. They had the true Edo spirit. They reminded me of my grandfather who was born in Tokyo before the war. I will definitely go back again. It's recommended to go with some extra time as it can get crowded. Also, please note that they only accept cash during lunchtime!

An elderly couple runs this restaurant harmoniously. The cost performance is excellent, so there is usually a line to get in. Even after entering, there may be a wait before being served. It's best to go with plenty of time to spare. The 1.5 serving for 1,700 yen is a divine price. The 2,200 yen for the sea urchin bowl is also great value for the fresh sea urchin.

When looking at the line at the ramen shop nearby, I think I should join it. I line up first. It's around 10:40. People start lining up from 11 o'clock, and before the shop opens, there are about 30 people in line. If you don't secure a good position, be prepared to wait for an additional 20 minutes or more. The uni-don is better to eat than it looks in the photo. There is a lot of uni, and the quality is not bad. The sushi is a specialty with boiled squid. The squid is so tender. They use ink squid and put a lot of effort into the ingredients. I think it's a good restaurant.

I lined up 10 minutes before the store opened and barely made it in on the first round. The sushi didn't arrive until 13:00 because I was the last one, and they apologized for the delay. Luckily, I had time until my next appointment, so I was able to relax in the cool room. The second round ended with the rice running out and 5-6 people left. It was 1,700 yen for 1.5 servings and it was delicious. I would like to go back when I have time. The sea urchin bowl also looked delicious.

I went for lunch on a regular day. To be honest, the quality at this price is unbeatable. I went around lunchtime and waited outside for about an hour before ordering, then waited another hour for the sushi to arrive! Be prepared to wait about 2 hours if you decide to go. I saw a few people give up because they didn't have enough time, so only go if you have time to spare. I ordered the nigiri sushi, which was about 1.5 servings. Since I had waited 2 hours, I decided to go for the 1.5 servings. The chef prepares each piece right in front of you. You can enjoy authentic sushi at a reasonable price. They change the fish based on the season. My favorites were the fatty tuna and the tekka maki roll. They were delicious. The chef and the hostess were friendly and the overall experience, aside from the wait time, was perfect.

Malouin's Smug tongue,,,,, Just for your information,,,,, Overall score is below 3 points, so only the points and photos are listed in the usual comment. → Please refer to the additional information in the profile section for details. ◎How happy was the heart? I had some business in Ginza and stumbled upon a long line, so I decided to visit. The taste and quality reminded me of the sushi I used to order from a local sushi restaurant (which is now mostly out of business) when I was a child. The fact that it takes two hours to finish eating in a long line in Ginza at this price point is understandable, but this time, I started lining up without knowing, so there was no choice. I couldn't find the significance of spending that much time, and while I respect the reasonable price at this location nowadays, my heart sank. ◎How much did the tongue hum? It is as detailed in the evaluation points and photos. (Please refer to the post-2019/1 update in the profile for details) ◎Did the feet naturally want to come back here? I think I won't naturally come back here anymore because I can't act with CP as the top priority. ◎How did the finance minister of our household react to the bill? They did not accompany me this time.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ogawa is the most famous sushi lunch spot in Ginza. When I arrived at the restaurant, there was a line extending from the underground location up the stairs. It was 12:40 at the time, and about 10 people were already waiting in line. I finally entered the restaurant at 2:00. Since I was dining alone, I was seated at the counter. In addition to the head chef, there was a female staff member who would clean up the seats and guide customers to their spots. The restaurant had seating for about 10 at the counter and 6 in the tatami area. I ordered the most cost-effective option, the "1.5 servings of nigiri." I was served tea and a first course of simmered tuna. Even after entering the restaurant, most customers had not yet received their sushi, so there was still quite a wait. I could see the head chef's skillful sushi-making from my seat at the counter, which was already a treat in itself. I noticed that when multiple customers ordered the same thing, the chef would make 2 pieces of nigiri each. Finally, my nigiri arrived at 2:30, and I was particularly looking forward to the tuna. The tuna was sourced from Yamazuki and was incredibly delicious. I savored the fresh ingredients sourced from Toyosu that day and quickly finished my meal. The set included 10 pieces of nigiri, 2 gunkan-maki, and 1 tekka-maki (5 pieces) for only 1,700 yen, which was a steal for the quality. However, it took 2 hours from lining up to finishing the meal, so I recommend not scheduling any appointments right after.

The luxurious feeling is irresistible. I have been here more than 5 times, but the way the prices have gone up is sad. However, even at 2300 yen, it is still a great deal. It's a shame that they only serve lunch on weekdays, but I hope they continue to do so and I want to contribute by visiting for dinner as well. I arrived around 11:30 and had to wait inside the restaurant for about 30 minutes. The wait was worth it when the food arrived. It was crowded, so I got my food quickly, but by around 12:30, there was a line of about 8 groups from B1F to the ground floor. They had run out of rice due to the demand. I will definitely go back.

I visited for lunch! I arrived about 15 minutes before the opening time of 11:30. Even before opening, it was already a popular place with people waiting. They serve authentic Edo-style sushi, with the chef making the sushi by himself. We started with a small appetizer dish, and I enjoyed it with a beer while waiting for the sushi. The sushi arrived at just the right time. Everything was delicious, but the simmered squid had a rich broth and was especially tasty. The photo shows about 1.5 servings. It was a very satisfying lunch experience. I would love to visit again!

Today I had delicious sushi in Ginza. The chef at this restaurant, who has been in charge for a long time, makes the sushi alone, so it takes a while for the food to be served. I had been avoiding this place because of the wait, but today I had a sudden day off from work so I decided to go. I arrived at 11:30 and managed to snag one of the last 10 counter seats. I ordered 1.5 servings of sushi and waited for the chef to start making them. The chef lines up the orders of the customers who arrive, so you can see how many people are ahead of you. Some people were turned away, and others started lining up outside. After about 40 minutes, I was served as the second customer. Finally, after 50 minutes, my sushi set arrived. The set included maguro, chu-toro, tai, ebi, ika, hotate, shiromi, boiled ika, negitoro roll, ikura, and uni. The uni was an extra addition to the set. The sushi rice was seasoned with red vinegar, making it fluffy and melting in my mouth. The sushi toppings and rice were a perfect match. I enjoyed my meal very much today. Thank you for the delicious food. By the time I finished eating, two customers had canceled their orders and left. As I left the restaurant, three new customers arrived.

I stopped by for lunch on a regular day and there was a line of about 5 people on the stairs. Waited for about 15 minutes to get inside. The chef was working alone, so it took some time. Waited for about 20 minutes for the eagerly awaited sushi. The lunch sushi set was 1.5 times the usual size (amazing✨✨) and cost 1,700 yen including tax!!! I was surprised. The Tekka Maki, Chutoro, and Otoro were delicious! The red vinegar rice with wasabi was tasty. I was really full, and I feel like they might not be making much profit at this price. But the service was wonderful. Of course, there must be even more delicious options at night, so I want to come back as a treat sometime!

The restaurant I was curious about was spacious and had a cozy atmosphere. It felt like they wanted customers to eat sushi to their heart's content. If you want to fill your stomach with sushi, this place is highly recommended. Even though it's not in Ginza, the prices are really reasonable. The red tuna, squid, medium fatty tuna, marinated sea bream, fatty tuna, egg, rolled omelette, salmon roe, sea urchin, steamed shrimp, simmered scallop, simmered squid, and Ishigaki clam were served with bean sprout side dish and miso soup with clam. It wasn't the typical sushi taste, but I really respect the price. The sea urchin rice bowl next to me looked delicious. Thank you for the meal!

Today, I visited Sushi Ogawa located in Ginza 3-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo. It is conveniently located about a 5-minute walk from Higashi-Ginza Station and about 6 minutes from Shintomicho Station. While dinner can cost over 10,000 yen per person with alcohol, lunch is more affordable. The quality of the ingredients may vary, but the precious red vinegar rice is the same for both lunch and dinner. Lunch prices start from the 1,000 yen range, making it a great deal. To enter, you go down the stairs to the basement and pass through the curtain. You sanitize your hands before entering. The first thing you hear from the proprietress is a smiling "Oh, are you doing well?" It's a joy to see the chef and proprietress in good spirits. The famous uni bowl is a bit pricey at 2,300 yen, but it's worth it. Even with the price increase, it's still a great deal within the Ginza area. The counter seats about 10 people, with some tables usually used for storing bags. During lunchtime, many salarymen gather here. I ordered the nigiri for 1.5 people. Depending on the season, there can be quite a variation in the quality of the tuna, but the rice quality remains consistent. The nigiri prices are 1,200 yen for 8 pieces, 1,500 yen for 10 pieces, and 1,700 yen for 12 pieces. Today's selection included sea urchin, ikura, tuna akami, chutoro, more chutoro, squid, sea bream, shrimp, bonito, firefly squid, simmered scallop, and tamago. The sea bream is from Akashi, and the small dish with Noto kelp is also excellent as an appetizer. The shrimp, squid, akami, and chutoro are slightly lower in quality compared to dinner. The rolls can either be tekka or chutoro. The chef is friendly and willing to chat, while the proprietress is polite and kind. The 1.5-person portion, served in a large bucket, costs 1,700 yen including tax. The red vinegar rice at this price point in Higashi-Ginza is truly exceptional. I will definitely visit again. Thank you very much.

I had the opportunity to go to Ginza for lunch, so I decided to visit Sushi Ogawa, which I had been wanting to try for a while. I was prepared for a long line, but I was able to enter without any trouble. I ordered my favorite uni bowl. Many people around me were ordering nigiri sushi. The uni in the bowl was of such high quality that I almost felt guilty, and for only 2,300 yen, it felt like a steal. The side of fresh squid sashimi and the separate serving of kelp simmered in soy sauce were also delicious. Lunchtime is only available on weekdays, so it can be difficult to find the right timing, but I will definitely revisit and try the nigiri sushi next time.

I had some business to attend to in Higashi-Ginza during the day, and was looking for a late lunch spot afterwards. I found this sushi restaurant that is a long-established place but with reasonable prices. It is located in a hidden underground location behind Kabuki-za, an area known for its excellent dining options. The restaurant has a casual and bright atmosphere, with a counter that seats 10 people in an L-shape, as well as a few tables and a raised tatami seating area. The chef and the hostess, who seemed a bit reserved, run the place. Despite it being past 1 pm, most of the counter seats were occupied. I ordered the "nigiri 1.5 servings" for 1,700 yen, along with a beer. The meal came with a side dish, which on that day was a delicious bean sprout and green onion salad. The chef, who was around 70 years old, prepared the food diligently, and after a short wait, my sushi set was served on a large plate. The set included tuna, medium fatty tuna, fatty tuna, squid, marinated sea bream, shrimp, scallop, simmered squid, simmered scallop, tamago (egg), and a small gunkan with sea urchin and salmon roe, as well as a tekka maki. The sushi was well-prepared and tasty, especially the tuna varieties. The rice was seasoned with red vinegar, giving it a nice flavor. The miso soup served at the end was also delicious. Overall, the quality of the food was great for the price, and the beer was reasonably priced as well. The restaurant may have a wait at times due to the chef working alone, but the food and prices make it worth it. I would definitely like to visit again, perhaps for their famous uni bowl next time.
