I want to start the new year quietly, so I like to start by enjoying sushi at the Ginza Kanasaka Honten, where I can savor the sushi crafted by Mr. Kanazaka. I have visited other branches of the "Kanasaka" group, but I never go back for a second visit because the level of sushi by Mr. Kanazaka at the main store is completely different. The interior was renovated in 2020 and now seats only 8 people, with a tasteful decor reminiscent of a tea room. The traditional techniques used in the interior, such as the bamboo small dance mud wall, are quite impressive. The hinoki counter dates back to around 250-350 years, and observing the grain of the wood allows you to transport yourself back to that time. It's a path that even those who enjoy whiskey or wine must go through. It's a shame that they haven't refined it into a pure form. If the reason is to suppress the scent of hinoki, then it's counterproductive. In the year 2000, during a severe economic downturn, a young 28-year-old sushi chef opened his own restaurant in Ginza, causing a sensation among sushi chefs and enthusiasts. He went on to establish many branches both domestically and internationally, producing many famous sushi chefs. The saying goes, "Second-rate leaves behind money, first-rate leaves behind people." It's strange, isn't it? My reviews of Ginza Jiro, Yoshitake, and Shimizu are more interesting and of higher quality than my review of Sawada. Personally, I think the wasabi at Yoshitake is particularly unique and hasn't been mentioned by any gourmands or in any gourmet books. Unexpectedly, my reviews of Sushi Sawada are extremely popular, but Mr. Kanazaka has been in a league of his own since his days at Ginza Kyubey. He has been a top player in the world of Ginza sushi for a long time. Whether you divide the world of sushi by generation, the fact remains that Mr. Kanazaka has been a top player in Ginza sushi since his days at Kyubey. At around 50 years old now, he has navigated through the tempting period of his 20s and 30s, where many men make money, and continues to excel in the forefront. His sushi is the true work of a master. It's wonderful, isn't it? The followers of the Kyoto Museum of Contemporary Art, also known as the Necessity Museum, are familiar with the numerous wonderful works of Rokushanjin displayed in the permanent exhibition on the lower floor. However, for the past 3-4 years, the other works outside the glass cases have become inaccessible. I'm sorry, that's my fault. I regularly visit Kyoto for both personal and professional reasons, and whenever I want to be alone, I always stop by the Necessity Museum to sit on the top floor sofa and gaze at the trees, often sneaking down to the lower floor when no one is around to admire Rokushanjin's works with the determination to carry a lifetime of debt.

"I visited the Ginza Sushi Kanesaka Honten, which has been awarded as one of the top 100 sushi restaurants in the Tabelog Sushi category for 2022. They have also received 2 Michelin stars. Unfortunately, photography is not allowed. The sushi pieces are relatively small in size, both the fish and the rice, making them easy to eat. Being in Ginza, the prices are on the higher side, and when compared to other favorite sushi restaurants in different areas, the portion size might feel lacking for the cost. With the current high prices of seafood, this might be understandable. However, the quality is impeccable, and the service, including that of the head chef, is excellent. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal." #SushiKanesaka #GinzaSushi #GinzaSushi #Sushi #Sushi #DeliciousSushi #DeliciousSushi #GinzaGourmet #Connectwithgourmetlovers #Gourmetstagram #GourmetMemo #Connectwithgourmetlovers #FoodTherogram #FoodTerrorgram #Eatsta #Eatstagrammer #Foodterrorism #GourmetTravel #DeliciousisHappiness #GourmetFriendsWanted #EpicureanClub #FoodieGirls #FoodieBoys #WanttoconnectwithEpicureans #KantoGourmet #FoodReportGram #GourmetWriter #FoodWriter #BGradeGourmetInformation #TokyoGourmet

This is the 41st restaurant of Sushi Tokyo's Top 100 in 2022, where photography is prohibited. The head chef is gentle but exudes a sharp and dignified atmosphere. I visited for lunch and the atmosphere was perfect for the humid summer. The sushi was delicious, with highlights being the hirame with konbu, akami, chutoro, and toro. The aji was thick and flavorful, the shirasu was excellent, and the anago was also very good. The small skin and aji were particularly outstanding. Overall, it was a top-class experience with delicious sushi. Thank you very much.

I revisited the Michelin-starred sushi restaurant "Kanesaka". The hospitality is always great, the place is clean, and the taste is top-notch! They pay attention to every detail, from the sushi to the interior and the tableware, making the dining experience visually appealing and enjoyable. The head chef is friendly, which adds to the overall sense of comfort. I had some amazing sushi and drinks once again. Everything was excellent!

I love the classic style of sushi at Kingdo, especially Kanazaka-san's nigiri. The rice balls are small in size, so I feel like I could go there forever. (By the way, I've tried sushi at various restaurants, but the pickled ginger here is my favorite!) I'm not sure when the budget information on Tabelog was written, but I think it's safe to assume that the prices have changed since last year. In Ginza, you should expect to spend around 50,000 to 60,000 yen per person. #Looking to connect with people who love gourmet food

Ginza Kanesaka, a Michelin 2-starred restaurant, is a must-visit. The head chef is very friendly and knowledgeable, teaching you about sushi. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful, with a focus on high-quality tableware. Above all, the sushi preparation is exquisite. I highly recommend visiting if you have the chance.

This is my favorite sushi restaurant that I visit often. The sushi here is without a doubt all incredibly delicious. The sushi is fresh, visually appealing, and eating sushi at the beautiful white wooden counter is the best. I also had plenty of drinks. It was so great that I ended up drinking too much. It was a blissful time. I will visit again.

I had a great experience with the nigiri course. We toasted with Henriot champagne. The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere despite its high reputation, which may be why it is so highly rated. The chef speaks English to accommodate the many foreign customers, making it a sushi restaurant loved by people from all walks of life. The performance may be lacking, but the food is simply delicious. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Today I had sushi lunch at Kanesaka. The dishes that came out were as follows: - Sesame tofu - Red snapper sushi - Striped jack sushi - Red snapper marinated in kombu sushi - Lean tuna sushi - Medium fatty tuna sushi - Fatty tuna sushi - Kohada (gizzard shad) sushi - White shrimp sushi - White squid sushi - Saury sushi - Horse mackerel sushi - Scallop sushi - Ark shell sushi - Salmon roe sushi on battleship sushi - Simmered clams sushi - Sea urchin battleship sushi - Miso soup (with grilled green onion and tuna) - Eel sushi (salt and reduced soy sauce) - Tamagoyaki (sweet omelette) It was an amazing sushi course with a perfect balance of sourness, saltiness, and sweetness in the rice, a melting texture in the mouth, and a grainy yet firm rice texture. The sushi was exactly to my liking. The most delicious pieces were the kohada, medium fatty tuna, white shrimp, and eel (salted). The tamagoyaki at the end was incredibly delicious, like a pudding. The fact that you can enjoy this quality of sushi in Ginza for around 20,000 yen is amazing. The chef was friendly and made the experience very comfortable. Thank you for the meal.

I love this sushi restaurant so much that I come here repeatedly. This place is the best sushi restaurant! Each piece of sushi is delicate and has a good amount of fat, spreading deliciousness in your mouth. The red vinegar rice complements the fish perfectly! The atmosphere is calm overall, and the head chef is friendly, making it very comfortable to dine here. The drinks also went down smoothly this time. I will definitely visit again.

Photos are not allowed, so I focused on enjoying the meal. Both the fresh tuna and the crab were just lifted for fishing today. The sushi and sashimi were delicious, but I didn't take any photos so I don't remember how many pieces I ate. However, I feel like I ate a lot and enjoyed it.

I finally visited this restaurant that is hard to get a reservation at. However, there were various reviews on Google, but it seems that the prices may differ for Japanese and foreigners. We had quite a bit of alcohol, and it turned out to be much more expensive than expected, maybe because we went with Westerners. However, the sushi toppings and flavors were really good. I hope I can go back at least one more time in my life.

I visited "Kanesaka" again this time. I go there regularly. When it comes to sushi, "Kanesaka" is the best. The sake goes down smoothly. Each piece of sushi is elegant and they pay attention to the presentation with beautiful dishes. It's so delicious, truly a top-class restaurant.

I love this sushi restaurant so much that I keep coming back. The atmosphere is great, the customers are nice, and I can relax and enjoy my meal. Everything was delicious this time as well. The sea urchin was especially tasty. It goes really well with wine. Thank you Kanesaka-san for another delicious sushi meal.

This is my third visit. I had plans in Ginza, so I couldn't resist coming here for sushi. The fresh abalone was incredibly delicious. Once again, the sake went down smoothly. The atmosphere in the restaurant is great, with a good mix of customers. It's a comfortable place to be. The chef is also friendly and always serves the best sushi. Thank you.

"Kanesaka" is a super famous restaurant that has won Michelin stars. This is my second visit. The sushi and wine are incredibly delicious. It's so good that I end up drinking too much. Whenever I come to Ginza, I always want to eat sushi here. I will definitely go again.

When it comes to sushi in Ginza, Kanesaka is the best! It's my personal favorite sushi restaurant. Located in a mature area like Ginza, it is easily accessible by car and easy to find. When you go downstairs, there is a counter (no private rooms) where you can enjoy amazing sushi and other dishes that will make you tremble. They have a large selection of wines, so you can find just about any wine you want. The sushi cannot be photographed, so I only took pictures of the sign and alcohol. The head chef's conversations are very informative, and watching him interact with customers in Ginza is a great learning experience, even for salespeople. There are several other Kaneshaka locations, and I would like to visit them all!

The sushi was elegant and delicious, with items like conger eel, mizunasu, toro, and tamago. The atmosphere was strict about no photos, but the chef was surprisingly kind and welcoming.

At a top-class restaurant in Ginza, the owner, Mr. Kanazaka, served each can meticulously. The standard course, a glass of champagne, non-alcoholic beer, and two additional sushi cans added up to 49,000 yen. The food was incredibly delicious, but it's not a place you can casually drop by.

Photo not allowed at Kanazaka, but it's okay in the waiting room. The reason for this rule is unclear, but the atmosphere with the friendly and polite master and his disciples is very different from some tense sushi restaurants. Only regular customers are allowed, and the master laments the lack of reservations. The sake served is Kuro Ryu Daiginjo, which is refreshing and slightly sweet. There is a wide variety of Japanese sake available. The meal starts with tofu and the conversation is light-hearted, reminiscent of Kyubei. The small bamboo leaf-wrapped sushi rice and the strong red vinegar flavor are not outstanding. The meal ends with a soup with grilled leeks, and just when I thought it was over, a rolled gourd dish appeared, almost causing me to fall out of my chair. Thank you for the meal!

I often hear about training at Sushi Kanesaka, so I visited the main store. The service was excellent and the head chef was very humble. As for the sushi, the rice was cold and firm. Some of the toppings had a slight fishy smell and didn't seem very delicious, but the last dish of conger eel was the best I've ever had. Also, the salted ice cream at the end was delicious. I might visit again if I have the chance.
