Set on the fifth floor of a building along Miyuki-dori in Ginza 6-chome, Ginza すし嘉 is a sushi restaurant where diners can savor seasonal nigiri and composed dishes in a calm, understated setting. Inside, seating includes a plain wood counter overlooking the chef's precise preparations as well as spacious private rooms, suiting everything from an elevated lunch to an anniversary dinner.
Counter Omakase Crafted in Plain View of the Chef
At the counter, the Itamae Omakase Kaishoku unfolds piece by piece, alternating seasonal nigiri with sashimi, warm dishes, and grilled plates. The progression features impeccably prepared nigiri such as Pacific bluefin tuna otoro and akami, flounder, red clam, bigfin reef squid, sea urchin, and sea eel, interspersed at a measured rhythm with dishes like seafood chawanmushi and yuan-yaki grilled fish. The chef also accommodates preferences comfortably—whether a diner leans toward more nigiri or a wider spread of appetizers to accompany drinks—allowing the meal to proceed at an unhurried, personalized pace.
Private Rooms and Dining Plans for Special Occasions
For gatherings where privacy takes priority, courses with guaranteed private room reservations are particularly convenient. Weekday lunch offers an accessible course centered on ten pieces of sushi alongside a chef’s mini rice bowl and warm dishes, while dinner menus include an indulgent omakase that showcases sweet, shelled horsehair crab. Thoughtfully prepared sushi, including white-fleshed fish accented with salt and sudachi citrus or lightly seared cuts, is served attentively directly to the private room table.
Sake and Wine Selections to Complement the Meal
The drink list is curated to complement the flavors of the seasonal seafood toppings. Notable regional sakes such as Kokuryu, Toyo Bijin, and Nanbu Bijin are available alongside Champagne, Kenzo Estate wines, and Japanese craft gins, offering plenty of variety to match each course. With its quiet ambiance and deliberate craftsmanship, the restaurant provides a welcoming setting to take one's time over thoughtfully prepared sushi.
