Located quietly in Ginza 7-chome, "Sushi Dokoro Shin" is a lovely restaurant that I stumbled upon during lunch. The place is situated between Ginza and Shimbashi, around Ginza 7-chome where you can find a variety of buildings. Upon seeing the words "lunch menu" and "sushi" on the storefront, I hesitantly entered the restaurant, feeling a bit intimidated by the reputation of sushi restaurants in Ginza. Inside, there were no other customers, and the master kindly welcomed me to sit at the counter. The cozy space with 8 seats at the counter was filled with soft jazz piano music, and the atmosphere was enhanced by the impressive kumade and kamidana for Tori-no-Ichi festival. The master, Mr. Maki Watanabe, exuded a sense of kindness while also showing his dedication to sushi. The first thing that caught my eye was the display of fresh ingredients in the showcase. The neatly arranged ingredients in the showcase piqued my curiosity and anticipation. For lunch, they only offer two courses, priced at 3,300 yen and 5,500 yen. I decided to go for the 5,500 yen course. Originally, it includes sashimi and other appetizers, but I requested everything to be served as nigiri sushi. "Omakase 5,500 yen" - Akami - Hirame (Kombu-zuke) - Sumi-ika - Chutoro (Miyagi) - Akagai - Aji - Amaebi - Shirauo - Hotaru-ika (Okayama) - Ikura - Uni - Nihama - Negitoro & Himokyu - Owan (soup) Duration: 50 minutes Total: 5,500 yen (tax included) Visited: Weekday past 1:00 PM, no prior customers The sushi rice had a white vinegar flavor, slightly sweeter than Edomae style, allowing the taste of the ingredients to shine through. It had a firm and cohesive texture, providing a clean and refreshing taste. Each piece of sushi was well-prepared, and all of them were delicious. The Chutoro stood out with its richness and sweetness, leaving a lingering taste. The overall lineup showcased freshness and was enjoyable to savor. Although the master seemed reserved at first glance, he engaged in conversation with me comfortably, creating a pleasant dining experience. The restaurant has been in business for 12 years, surviving through the East Japan earthquake and the current pandemic. The dedication to sushi reflected in the showcase was admirable. With a stable and satisfying lunch offering, I could imagine the bustling atmosphere with regular customers in the evening. "Sushi Dokoro Shin" in Ginza is a charming place to enjoy sushi without any pretense. Personally, I was quite impressed with this restaurant. Ginza Sushi Dokoro Shin Address: 1F Wayfair Building, 7-12-4 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo Phone: 03-3543-9339 Hours: 11:30 AM - 2:00 PM, 5:30 PM - 10:30 PM (Saturday: 5:30 PM - 9:30 PM) Closed on Sundays

The head chef is unique. The restaurant seems to have many regular customers. Despite being in Ginza, it has a warm atmosphere as if you were in your local area. It's nice to have so many appetizers to go with the drinks. The drinks go down smoothly. It's a casual and friendly place that you can easily visit.

In Ginza, there are plenty of sushi restaurants, and once you go over 3000 yen, it can be hard to find a good one. I had been wanting to go to a certain restaurant for a long time, and decided to drop by on a weekday without a reservation. Surprisingly, I got a seat and the sushi was incredibly delicious, exceeding my expectations. The interior of the restaurant mainly consists of a counter, with a slightly intimidating head chef. However, he turned out to be very friendly, and there was a beautiful orchid next to the counter, probably a birthday gift. The price had increased by 500 yen starting from June, with a 3800 yen course for 10 pieces of nigiri, including sea urchin, ark shell, scallop, and depending on the day's ingredients. The sushi rice was at a perfect temperature and the overall experience was fantastic. If I had to make a wish, I would have loved a small sushi roll at the end of the course. But I didn't add it, as the 5000 yen course would have been too much. It was a delightful experience and I look forward to going back soon. Definitely recommended for sushi lovers in Ginza!

The restaurant is great for a night out. They have a good selection of beer and Japanese sake. The sushi is thick and delicious, and they also offer a variety of appetizers like shellfish and shrimp. The atmosphere is lively with a mix of regulars, young couples, and solo diners. The owner is experienced and provides quick service. The prices are reasonable for the quality of food and service. Overall, it's a place worth becoming a regular at.

I don't remember how many drinks I had... There were also many things I forgot to take pictures of.

S4's location is a bit lacking, meaning there are more highballs than other options. The Rose Malt highball is delicious.

Ginza without people... Short opening hours. Still delicious. Young ayu, bonito, abalone, starry flounder, asparagus with tuna flakes on top...

I am very satisfied tonight! The shako (mantis shrimp) in season was excellent too, although I don't have a photo.

I found this sushi restaurant while strolling around Ginza with my master. We arrived at 12 o'clock when they opened and had the 3,000 yen sushi set. It was really delicious! The head chef was very friendly and easy to talk to. I think if more people discover such wonderful restaurants, they will come to appreciate the charm of sushi even more. I personally find it hard to enjoy sushi in places with a formal atmosphere, so this casual and delicious restaurant was a great find for me. I hope that by knowing about this place, those who feel intimidated by Ginza will feel more at ease visiting the area. I love Ginza and will continue to visit without hesitation. The Kanto region is not all about being unwelcoming and expensive. I'm sorry I couldn't take photos as I usually try to avoid doing so in sushi restaurants.

Be careful not to drink too much. The appetizers are too delicious.

The squid was delicious!

Every time, they serve delicious and stable sushi with a wide selection of sake. The foie gras was smooth, flavorful, and had no unpleasant smell. It was excellent.

There are few seats so a reservation is necessary. The owner is very friendly, the food is delicious and you can enjoy a comfortable atmosphere!

The restaurant has limited seating so it's hard to make a reservation. The owner is very friendly and we had a pleasant dining experience. I would like to visit again when I go to Tokyo.

Great drinks, great atmosphere, great conversation!

Kanazawa has delicious Kinosaki crab!! Thank you for the feast.

Boiled octopus! It was so tender and delicious.

Stable deliciousness!

During a private party with my classmates at our favorite spot, "Ginza Sushi-ya Shin," we enjoyed delicious sushi at a reasonable price in a lively and fun atmosphere. Ginza is a special place, but this restaurant offers tasty sushi without breaking the bank. They have expanded their selection of drinks, so you can enjoy delicious food and great drinks as well. We were provided with various dishes, but I made the mistake of forgetting to take photos. Nonetheless, we had a delicious and enjoyable time together.

Even though I'm a scaredy-cat when it comes to sushi in Ginza, the bill was clear. My colleagues reserved this place for my farewell party. It was 10,000 yen per person for omakase (excluding drinks). The restaurant was small with only a counter, but it had a new and beautiful atmosphere. The head chef was friendly and talkative. We enjoyed sake while various appetizers kept coming out. The grilled mackerel and oyster miso were incredibly delicious! A must-try dish. The sushi was also delicious, especially the shiitake mushrooms which were thick and tasty. They keep serving until you say stop, so be careful not to overeat. The place had many regular customers and I would love to visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Ginza is lined with high-end and famous restaurants. This time, I visited "Sushidokoro Shin." The small and smartly designed interior with a counter for 9 seats creates a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The sushi, expertly crafted by the chef, brings out the true flavors of the ingredients and each piece was delicate and delicious. The "Omakase course (dinner)" starts from 10,000 yen, which is reasonably priced for Ginza. A great date idea would be to casually suggest stopping by when in the area rather than planning to go specifically for sushi. Taking a date to a well-known brand restaurant is nice, but bringing them to a "charming restaurant" where you can say "Long time no see, Chef!" and make a spontaneous visit can be a different kind of charm. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this place, and I even made a reservation for next time. Another exciting thing to look forward to this month!
