Why we recommend it

Kyubey is one of Ginza's classic sushi restaurants and a good introduction to Edomae sushi, the Tokyo style in which fish is aged, cured or simmered before it meets the rice. The business marks around 90 years since its establishment, and the main Ginza building has several floors of counters, so the experience feels traditional yet less intimidating than some tiny, hard-to-book counters.

Sit at the counter to watch the chefs at work and order an omakase set, which lets the kitchen choose the best fish of the day. Lunch is the more affordable way to try it. Reservations can be requested through the form on the official website, which is wise for dinner. The restaurant is in the 8-chome area of Ginza, close to Shimbashi and Ginza stations.
