Kyūbey

Top choice in Ginza & Tsukiji


Kyūbey, running since 1935 is one of Tokyo's prestige sushi restaurants, where each piece of nigiri-zushi (hand-pressed sushi) is made and delivered one at a time. But there's no snobbery here: staff speak English (and deliver no side eyes) and the prices are very reasonable for Ginza. Reservations must be made through your accommodation. There's a 10% service charge.
