Restaurants near Ginza International Hotel

It took us a little bit too long to be served. The salads taste was average, it could be better. Meat was delicious.

A little out of the way to find but what a gem for great traditional sushi. Smaller restaurant with exceptional sushi and chef has a couple of twists in store for your taste buds. If you are seeking great sushi at a fair price for quality, this is your spot.

I was really looking forward to coming here and it was good but not spectacular. The food was good, but the description on the website said the chef would cook for us, but we had to cook ourselves. Over all the waygu was great, just not the experience we were expecting.

My partner and I were the only customers dining that evening. I speak Japanese and chose to play interpreter for my partner, but the staff seemed quite willing to accommodate us in English. I'm not certain of the exact title of our server (maitre d'?), but he was incredibly friendly and well versed in all things food and drink! The meal itself was delightful, of course. Some highlights included the presentation of the first course (the best hamo I've had all summer: just a little bit warm and soft, and beautifully arranged atop a dewy lotus leaf); the perfect sashimi course (uni with fresh wasabi, tender sumi-ika, and a sensational smoky katsuo (bonito) that had none of the metallic fishy flavor I usually associate with bonito); the hairy crab with a creamy abalone gratin of sorts, served inside a lemon; not to mention the desserts! (a nutty zunda warabi mochi, peach pannacotta with peach jelly and fresh peach slices, and a quenelle of milk tea ice cream). But what really made the night special was the service. (Having the restaurant to ourselves might have helped.) My partner and I were having a little chat about what "umami" actually tastes like, and the entire restaurant staff was able to explain to us, off the top of their heads, the types of amino acids comprising different types of umami flavor -- in seaweed/kelp, tomato, tea, meat, seafood, etc. . They even printed out a chart for us! Even better than "impeccable service" is being made to feel like a welcome guest by those who genuinely know and love food.

This place is amazingly delicious. We loved every dish! Make sure you try a few of the Naan breads. Also, the vibe is cool. The restaurant is directly adjacent to all of the swanky shops of glitzy Ginza -but the atmosphere is decidedly warm and welcoming.
