Such a special omakase experience! The space felt incredibly private, with a clean, minimalistic aesthetic that made the whole meal feel catered towards their audience. Every detail, from the presentation to the pacing of the course, was thoughtful, and you could really tell the focus was on letting the food quality speak for themselves. Definitely one of those places you go to slow down; highly recommended!

Today I had the opportunity to sit at the beautiful Kiso cypress counter at Ginza Sushi Yu (銀座 鮨 佑). Under the guidance of Head Chef Arito Seiki—a third-generation sushi chef—the kitchen operates on flawless biological timing. This isn't just tradition; it is decades of refined operational knowledge and generational Kaizen in action. ​It isn't just about premium sourcing from Toyosu Market—though securing top-tier cuts like Yamayuki akami (lean tuna) is a massive B2B advantage—it is about execution and temperature synchronization. ​The Lunch Course Highlights: 🐟 Yamayuki-sourced Akami 🔪 Aji (horse mackerel) meticulously scored and topped with a bright shiso, ginger, and scallion blend 🍣 Flawless seasonal cuts of Sawara (Spanish mackerel), Isaki (grunt), and Hotate (scallop) 🥢 Traditional Edomae finishes including Anago (conger eel), Tamagoyaki, and Kanpyo (dried gourd) ​The shari (rice) is meticulously maintained at human skin temperature to perfectly interact with the fats of the"

Una esperienza unica ed indimenticabile. Professionalità e cortesia. Ottima qualità e sostanzioso numero di portate, una favorevolissima impressione per chi si approccia alla tradizione giapponese.

Incredible! Saved this for our final dinner in Tokyo, and by far the best overall experience. Amazing!

The omakase experience at Namba Sushi Kyu was excellent. The four of us enjoyed the fresh sushi and all the non sushi dishes, in total, over 15 courses. Although his English was limited, the chef was still able to explain each dish using a translator app on his cell phone or pointing to the type of fish he was serving us on a paper listing the names of the various fishes. We will definitely go back when we are back in Osaka in the future and highly recommend Namba Sushi Kyu if you are looking for an incredible omakase experience with great food and service

What a wonderful Menu and staff. Excellently prepared and presented.

One of the best meals in Kyoto! Simple and high quality ingredients, but rich in flavor. Try multiple types of steaks for comparison. The just and chef were very attentive - overall great place that was recommended by a friend of ours.

Great service for foreigners

We had a fantastic dinner here! The sushi chef explained each course so we knew what we were eating. Everything was delicious! The restaurant is clean and quiet. We would definitely recommend!

The food was sublime. Extremely friendly and caring service from our server. Private and Quiet atmosphere allowing us to immerse ourselves in the traditional Gion setting. Definitely worth another visit.

An incredible experience. The staff was friendly, helpful, and kind! I ate fish I didn't even know existed! Everything was accompanied by an incredible tea tasting. Highly recommended!

So good. And an intimate and lovely experience. Highly recommend!
