After reading the reviews of Mairebi-sama, I finally went to Sushi Sho, which I had always wanted to visit. It's a high-class place for dinner, but they also have some reasonably priced options for lunch, including bara chirashi, which is said to be amazing. I took the afternoon off to go to the dentist for a regular check-up, as I always make sure to take care of my teeth so I can enjoy delicious food. Then, I had an appointment at the hospital for a regular check-up starting at 3:30. Medical expenses are expensive, so I have been taking advantage of the medical expense deduction since two years ago, and it has been ongoing. Now, I wanted to enjoy myself! So, I decided to go to Sushi Sho or another famous eel restaurant that I wanted to try. When I arrived at the eel restaurant, there was a long line of people close to 1:30, which meant I might not make it in time for my hospital appointment. I decided to give up and called Sushi Sho. The person who answered the phone was friendly and kind. I told them that I was debating between ordering the bara chirashi or the eel bowl, and they said they would reserve a seat at the counter for me. I hurried over and descended the luxurious (well, expensive) staircase into the restaurant. Even though it's a high-class place, I was a bit nervous. On the right side of the counter, there was a bourgeois couple ordering their desired items and alcohol. They were talking about "private jets," which made me nervous. On the left side, there was a solo female diner like me (who was having the course menu). As a poor and rare solo customer, I decided not to order a drink and just had tea. I ordered the bara chirashi, which was the cheapest option on the lunch menu at 1600 yen. However, the bara chirashi was amazing. I was so happy to be seated at the counter and watch the skilled chef's work. Before serving the bara chirashi, they brought me boiled spinach, sweet and savory burdock, fresh ginger, and pickles. I was surprised by the delicious broth in the spinach dish. The fresh ginger was also incredibly tasty! They also served me egg and white fish soup. The presentation of the bara chirashi was luxurious and it looked incredibly delicious! It was so delicious that I was overwhelmed with joy. I took a bite and was amazed by the flavors. I wanted to savor it slowly because it was so delicious. Despite being a poor and rare customer, the chef treated me kindly and respectfully. The female staff members were also very hospitable and kind. In Ginza, there are many high-class sushi restaurants that I can only dream of visiting due to my financial situation. But when I read about people silently enjoying their sushi and leaving in 40 minutes, I felt like it might be a bit wasteful (around 20,000 yen). However, Sushi Sho made me want to try a bit harder to afford their expensive lunch course. The feeling of happiness after eating there was indescribable. It was so delicious and made me incredibly happy. Eating delicious food truly brings a different kind of happiness. By the way, I plan to have a rematch at the eel restaurant I couldn't visit soon because I am going on a trip to Hiroshima.

I always wanted to try the sushi restaurant in my neighborhood. I went on a Sunday just before closing time and was able to get in easily. The timing seemed to be just right, as it's usually packed. It's located down a narrow alley on the opposite side of the Kabuki-za theater on Showa Street. The restaurant has a high-class feel, with a clean counter. Despite being a high-end place, their lunch menu starts at a bargain price of 1,600 yen for a seafood chirashi bowl! They also offer dishes like tekka don and anago don in the 1,000 yen range, and nigiri starting from the 2,000 yen range. Since it was my first visit, I opted for the seafood chirashi. First, several small side dishes were brought out - Okinawan mozuku seaweed vinegar, boiled spinach, homemade pickles, and ginger. Even though it was a great deal for lunch, the side dishes were of high quality! Then came the main dish, the seafood chirashi. Just like others have mentioned, the presentation was like a sparkling jewel, mesmerizing to look at. There wasn't a lot of fish in the bowl, but the ikura and finely chopped cucumber added great flavor, making soy sauce unnecessary and providing a very satisfying dish. The vinegar rice inside was also well-flavored, and I couldn't stop eating! The miso soup with Hamanako nori was also excellent quality. Each dish was so satisfying. I regret not coming sooner to this restaurant. They mentioned that the prices will increase in October, so this great chirashi bowl might not be available anymore, but because of the high quality, it's a place I'd like to visit on days when I want to treat myself a little bit. ^_^

This is my second visit. Last time I had lunch, and this time I tried dinner for the first time. The staff were polite and created a pleasant dining experience with just the right amount of distance. The octopus was very large but had a good texture, and the sea urchin was plentiful and very delicious ^^

I visited this restaurant for my master's birthday dinner. There were many dishes that I couldn't eat, but I decided to make a reservation at this restaurant based on the reviews. As a result, I was very satisfied because they took into consideration the dishes I couldn't eat. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy everything. The chef was friendly and cheerful, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice. I would like to visit again.

Lunch exploration in the Ginza area. The restaurant is located on the underground floor of a building on the opposite side of the Kabuki-za theater on Harumi Street. I had the bara chirashi for 1600 yen. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very elegant. The only drawback is that it is a popular place, so the chances of walking in and getting a seat are very low. It is recommended to make a reservation in advance for lunch. I was seated at the counter. The sushi menu only lists the types of fish and their place of origin, without prices. But no worries! I had already communicated that I wanted the bara chirashi (regular) in advance, so I just had to wait for it to be served. Soon, the side dishes arrived. There was simmered Kaga daikon, mozuku seaweed with grated ginger, pickles, and homemade gari. And then the main dish, the bara chirashi!! It was like a jewel box of sushi, with tuna, octopus, salmon roe, white fish, conger eel, cucumber, and egg beautifully arranged like jewels in a box. The small, finely cut pieces made for a delicious mix of flavors. The side dishes were also well-prepared, providing a gentle break for the chopsticks. Before I knew it, I had finished everything. The calm atmosphere of the restaurant made me feel relaxed. Thank you for the meal.

Sendai is known for its delicious local sushi restaurants, with two famous chains being Sushisho and Umaitzukasa. They also have other brands in the Tohoku region such as Yutorogi and Marukuni revolving sushi. Among them, Ginza Sushisho exudes a high-class atmosphere, and it's quite popular among foreigners and tourists who want to try Ginza sushi. It can be difficult to get in without a reservation, but the quality is on a different level compared to other places like Ginza Onodera nearby. The use of Oshuishi stone reliefs on the counter walls signifies its roots in Miyagi Ishinomaki. While Umaitzukasa is a cheap and delicious chain, Sushisho is even better. The sushi, made with red vinegar, is just the right size and has a balanced flavor that I prefer over the oversized sushi at Onodera. Each piece is individually made at the counter, so you won't be disappointed like with conveyor belt sushi. I believe that at least sushi of this caliber should be experienced by foreign travelers. If there is a seat available near the Kabuki-za, I would consider revisiting. A sushi restaurant that does not disappoint. Keep up the good work, Amino Corporation.

I made a reservation to entertain an important customer. The course meal is "Yui" for ¥10,000 (tax included) at a sushi restaurant in Ginza. It's quite affordable for a sushi restaurant in Ginza. And I was able to reserve a private room, which is a good deal! Other good points include: - The restaurant is located on the basement floor, but the building's elevator is available, so it's wheelchair and stroller-friendly. - They offer drinks like Shirahonoka and Extra Cold, as well as whiskies like Hibiki and Miyagi Kyo. I tried the Miyagi Kyo highball. However, some disappointing points are: - Although the sushi was served in about 10 pieces, I didn't feel impressed when eating them. The quality was decent, but there was no wow factor. The fish wasn't stale, but the rice and fish didn't quite match. For example, at a famous sushi restaurant in Ginza, you would immediately think "Delicious!" when you eat their sushi, but that wasn't the case here. It might be because I'm not a big fan of red vinegar rice. - The service staff, especially the table attendant, seemed a bit curt, even though the female servers were dressed in kimonos, giving off a traditional Ginza sushi restaurant vibe. When I asked if they could make a rice ball for my child, the response was, "We don't do that." We had 2 drinks each for 4 adults, totaling around ¥55,000. It's relatively cheap for sushi in Ginza, but if you're willing to spend a bit more, you might be more satisfied going to a place like a certain well-known sushi restaurant or a slightly cheaper one in Tsukiji. It could be a good option for salarymen entertaining clients with a budget limit.

I finally managed to go to this restaurant after making a reservation a month in advance for weekend lunch, as it always gets fully booked. Located near Higashi Ginza, close to the Kabuki-za theater, it is a calm place even on weekends. The restaurant seemed to cater only to reserved customers, so I was able to relax and enjoy my time. The staff was very friendly as well. I definitely want to come back to this restaurant again! The lunch omakase nigiri set menu (4,200¥) included scallop, golden eye snapper, red snapper, sweet shrimp with kelp, sea urchin, tuna, egg, and dessert. The food was so delicious that I ended up ordering additional sea urchin.

If you're lucky, you can have a lunch here. It's always either fully booked or private, but today I finally got a chance to try it. Sitting at the counter, I watched the chefs prepare the food while feeling happy. You can choose the amount of rice you want. I chose a smaller portion. The meal comes with three small side dishes and a seaweed soup. The flavors were refined and delicate. However, the bara chirashi was exceptional. It looked beautiful and when I started eating, I was surprised. The rice and ingredients were mixed thoroughly, the rice was refreshing, and the textures of the clams and cucumber were enjoyable. The attention to detail and craftsmanship were truly impressive. The ikura (salmon roe) was also excellently prepared. The service was attentive and friendly, making the overall dining experience very pleasant.

I refrained from taking a main photo as I went with a customer. We ordered the Tekka Don for 1900 yen. Initially, we were served 4-5 types of small dishes, followed by the Tekka Don. There were more slices of tuna than I expected, so I was satisfied! The staff's attention to detail was also great, and I would like to revisit for lunch around Ginza area.

We used the lunch limited course at a face-to-face meeting. We appreciated the thoughtful gesture of serving us cherry blossom tea for a light chat. The service and explanations of the dishes were very polite. Thank you very much. Of course, the dishes were visually stunning and very delicious, and we all left feeling full. We were able to spend a relaxing and pleasant time in a private room. Next time, I would like to try the dinner course.

In Tokyo, there is a sushi buffet called Hina-zushi that offers great value for money! The sushi was delicious as expected. However, one thing to note is that there aren't many staff members, so it can be difficult to get their attention. They might not notice you, and some seats have blind spots, so I hope they pay more attention to that.

I visited the restaurant around 13:30, a bit late for lunch. As I descended to the basement, I was seated at a luxurious counter. I decided to order the highly recommended chirashi sushi (you can choose from large, regular, or small). Since it was just before the last order, I was the only one at the counter, while a young chef was preparing for the evening at the preparation area. The appetizers came first, including simmered vegetables, pickles, and a unique ginger pickled in sweet vinegar. The ginger was particularly outstanding, setting the tone for the main dish. The chirashi sushi consisted of tuna, eel, squid, octopus, and white fish, seasoned with a dashi-like flavor from Yamagata Prefecture and garnished with cucumber. The chef explained that soy sauce was not necessary. As I savored the chirashi sushi, I came across a piece of fatty tuna that I couldn't resist picking up with my chopsticks. Dining alone, the friendly staff in kimono engaged me in conversation, making the experience enjoyable. This lunch made me realize that dining at a sushi restaurant in Ginza is not just about the food, but also about enjoying the atmosphere.

This is my first post of the new year, as I have been absent for a while. After finishing work early, I decided to take a stroll to Ginza. I was craving for some fresh tuna, but my regular spot was closed for the New Year. Just as I was pondering where to eat, I remembered this bara chirashi place. I looked it up and found out that they were open, so I decided to give it a try. The restaurant is located on the basement floor of a building, with an entrance on the ground floor that gives off a chain izakaya vibe. As I descended to the basement, I was greeted by a kimono-clad server who led me to the counter seats. The counter was slightly elevated, with subdued lighting creating a luxurious atmosphere. The restaurant had a deep layout, with many private table seats suitable for groups. This place is a high-end establishment operated by the sushi chain Sushikan, mainly in Miyagi Prefecture. The entrance on the ground floor made sense now. I ordered the bara chirashi, and while I waited, I watched two chefs skillfully and efficiently preparing the dishes at the counter. Soon, four small dishes arrived - pickled ginger, two types of pickles, boiled spinach, and simmered scallops. The pickled ginger had a hint of sweet vinegar and a subtle spiciness, with a strong crunch. The simmered scallops were delicious, with a savory taste enhanced by seaweed and dashi broth. The spinach was light and complemented the other dishes well. After about 15 minutes, my bara chirashi arrived. It was a colorful masterpiece, with tuna, salmon roe, two types of tamagoyaki, and a Yamagata specialty called "dashi." I was told that the soy sauce was already mixed in, so I dug in. The tuna's slight tanginess confirmed its freshness, and the two types of tamagoyaki provided a delightful contrast in flavor and texture. There was also a mysterious ingredient that tasted like chicken but was surprisingly tender... It turned out to be straw-grilled yellowtail. The grilled eel was particularly delicious, with a unique seasoning that made me sigh in delight. The rice was seasoned with traditional Edo-style red vinegar, matching the sushi perfectly. The portion was generous, and I felt satisfied after finishing it. The miso soup with seaweed was rich in umami flavor, a perfect end to the meal. I overheard regular customers chatting with the chefs about sourcing ingredients and cooking techniques, which showed their dedication to quality and seasonal produce. Despite being a high-end chain restaurant, the positive reviews on various websites were well-deserved. Other customers were ordering the "Omakase Lunch" with six pieces of nigiri and a half bara chirashi set, or the "Today's Omakase Nigiri" with 11 pieces of sushi. When I asked the chef about the mysterious ingredient, he revealed that it was straw-grilled yellowtail, which surprised me with its unique taste. Overall, it was a satisfying lunch experience that left me feeling content. Thank you for the meal.

Today's lunch was a chirashi sushi at a restaurant in Ginza. It was delicious. I went there without a reservation and was turned away, as they were fully booked for the day. So, I made a reservation for the next day and finally got to go. I had decided on my order and the amount of sushi rice in advance. I arrived at 12:00 as reserved and was greeted kindly. I was seated at the counter without being asked for my order, and was served tea and small appetizers. The dishes were explained to me in detail. After a 10-minute wait, the chirashi sushi was served with another detailed explanation, encouraging me to eat it as is. It was beautiful, with tuna, octopus, golden eye snapper, salmon roe, shrimp, shiitake mushroom, and egg on top of sushi rice seasoned with red vinegar. The combination of various fresh toppings on the fluffy red vinegar rice was delicious. I kept eating and enjoying the flavors. The pickled ginger served as a palate cleanser was homemade and also delicious. I had a very enjoyable meal. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, I had a great time.

The salt-grilled blackthroat seaperch, conger eel, and fatty tuna were delicious for my birthday celebration. The staff took many photos for us, and their service was attentive. It was nice to have a private room to relax. The Castella cake was also delicious. I would like to come back again.

Located right by Higashi-Ginza Station, this restaurant is conveniently close to the Kabuki-za theater. The atmosphere of the restaurant is elegant, and I was very impressed by the polite and welcoming service. This time, I tried the chef's choice lunch course for 3,500 yen (including tax), which included small appetizers, a bara-chirashi bowl, and 7 pieces of sushi. The sushi included unique toppings like mutsu and whale, in addition to more traditional options like tuna and egg. The balance of flavors was excellent, and the presentation was beautiful. Since I sat at the counter, I was able to chat with the chef, which added to the overall experience. While additional orders were possible, the set course was satisfying on its own. The prices are reasonable for lunch, making this a great place to enjoy delicious sushi at a more affordable price point. I would definitely visit again when I want to savor tasty sushi in a relaxed setting!

I visited for lunch. I was able to enjoy my meal in a spacious and beautiful private room. The chirashi that came before the sushi was very luxurious with plenty of ingredients. The sushi rice was just the right firmness and I liked it. The cost performance is also good, it's a wonderful restaurant.

I felt like eating sushi, so I decided to drop by this restaurant. It was a late weekday hour, and there were only two other groups of customers at the time. I ordered the ￥10,000 light course, which included: - Appetizers: Fresh whitebait with ginger soy sauce, simmered octopus, simmered kelp, cream cheese, firefly squid. A great appetizer to enjoy with sake! - Clam soup: The clam broth was rich and delicious. - Sashimi: Assorted sashimi including fresh Indian tuna. The tuna had a strong and delicious flavor. - Grilled fish, seaweed vinegar, and 8 pieces of nigiri sushi: Unfortunately, I lost my notes so I can't remember the exact toppings, but there were delicious toppings like sweet surf clam and creamy sea urchin. - Dessert The restaurant is located underground, but the sign is well-lit, making it easy to find. The atmosphere was comfortable, and I was able to relax and enjoy my meal without feeling out of place.

It's a sushi restaurant in Ginza, so the cost performance is not great, but the taste is average. The sushi has small bite-sized pieces with red vinegar rice, making it easy to eat. The side dishes are quite ordinary. The ingredients seem to be of good quality, but it feels like they have been left out for a while after cooking, which is a bit disappointing. Maybe it was because it was a set course. I probably won't go back, but if I do, I think a light lunch would be just right.

I visited a sushi restaurant located on the basement floor of the "Kosakudo Ginza Building" along the Ginza 5-chome, Higashi-Ginza, and Kinotemachi Street. The restaurant has a luxurious atmosphere typical of Ginza, with many table seats available, but since I was dining alone, I was guided to a counter seat at the back. There were various options such as nigiri sushi and bara-zushi, but today I ordered the Anago Donburi for ¥1,700. For the appetizer, I had nanohana with sesame dressing and mozuku vinegar. The nanohana was generously coated with sesame and delicious, showing promising flavors. The Anago Donburi was beautifully arranged with tamagoyaki and cucumber. The rice was warm and made with rich akazu vinegar, and the Anago was soft and tasty, although the bones were a bit noticeable. The pickled small melon, spicy lotus root, pickled ginger, and miso soup were all delicious as well. Overall, it was a satisfying lunch with attentive service. I would like to try their affordable nigiri lunch next time. Thank you for the meal!
