To be honest, I visited the New Otani with the intention of seeing Satsuki, but decided to have sushi at Kyubei for lunch. It turned out to be a great choice. Despite being a small restaurant, Kyubei has branches in both The Main and Garden Tower, where you can enjoy authentic sushi at the counter at a reasonable price. There is also a large underground parking lot, making it convenient. After eating, I planned to take a walk in the Japanese garden and then have some cake, so I thought I was being modest with the 6,600 yen course, but it was actually more than enough. You can choose to have the shrimp served raw or boiled, and the conger eel comes in two different flavors - salted and stuffed - making it a good deal. At the seat next to the counter, there was an elderly man who seemed to be a regular customer, enjoying sake and indulging in small, flavorful snacks like black beans and karasumi one after another. It seemed like a very elegant lifestyle, but I couldn't help but worry about his salt intake. He was ordering various items without looking at the menu, and the staff were handling his requests smoothly, so he must be a frequent visitor at a considerable pace. Regulars at hotel restaurants are so cool.

Heard rumors that the sushi at New Otani Hotel Akasaka Annex Kyubei is even better than the main branch, so I made a reservation smoothly. Ordered the lunch omakase course and enjoyed delicious sushi after a long time. The taste of the vinegared rice and toppings combined perfectly... it was heavenly. Particularly loved the firm texture of the botan shrimp. However, since I chose the cheapest course, overall impression was... Next time, I would like to try the most expensive "omakase" course. Thank you for the meal!

I finally went to Kyubei! There are two locations at Hotel New Otani, but this time I went to the Tower branch. I was able to enjoy sushi slowly at a table seat. The Imari set for 4400 yen was amazing, with each sushi melting in my mouth and disappearing quickly. It felt like I could keep eating more. The egg was not my favorite, but I was impressed by the conger eel sushi. Finally, I felt full after eating the gourd roll. Thank you very much. I would be happy to visit again. I will do my best at work.

Located inside Hotel New Otani, the restaurant was not crowded and had a calm atmosphere. Kyohei's sushi was easy to eat with a mild vinegar taste. I tried about 25 dishes and surprisingly felt very full. The tamagoyaki (egg omelette) was like a pudding, sweet and delicious.

We came with a regular customer and there were two of us. At Hotel New Otani, there are two locations for Kyubei: The Main Store and the Garden Tower Store, and we went to the Tower Store. We sat at the counter and left it up to the chef. The chef who was assigned to us was familiar with my companion's face. He engaged in conversation at the right times, stayed silent when necessary, and of course, his sushi-making skills were top-notch. He made sure that we had a pleasant lunchtime by paying attention to our needs. Truly, Kyubei is outstanding. Despite the situation with COVID-19, we had a very enjoyable and delicious time. Every piece of sushi was incredibly tasty. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the restaurant on a Saturday just before 12 o'clock without a reservation. Due to the state of emergency, there were no other customers and I was smoothly seated at the counter. This branch offers the opportunity to enjoy the traditional sushi of Kyubei at a reasonable price, with the added benefit of being able to use the hotel parking lot. The lunch set I ordered was called "Shino" for 6000 yen before tax, which included appetizers, 10 pieces of nigiri sushi, Tekka and Kappa Hosomaki, pickles, and miso soup with clams. The sushi was served with soy sauce brushed on the fish, so I didn't need to dip it myself. Everything was delicious, but the standout sushi pieces were the medium fatty "Chutoro," the sweet and rich "Uni," the smooth and fluffy "Tamago" with shrimp paste, the flavorful and sweet "Kuruma Ebi," and the innovative "Anago" which was served half with simmered sauce and half with salt.

The 4,000 yen sushi course was excellent. The sushi had flavors already, so soy sauce wasn't necessary. Many of the pieces were meant to be eaten with salt, highlighting the quality of the ingredients. The sauce and salt on the conger eel were particularly good. The smoked herring as a palate cleanser was also a nice touch. I wish I had tried the sashimi platter as well. The drinks were a bit pricey. The counter had partitions, providing a comfortable and private dining experience while also ensuring safety measures against infections.

Today, I went to Kyubei-san after a long time. I used to come here frequently when my office was nearby. The first time I came here, it was the main Kyubei-san, and I was still young. I remember feeling like I had become an adult when I had lunch alone for the first time here. Today, I had the chef's choice lunch. The dishes I had in order were: wakame salad, Karei (flatfish), Chutoro (medium fatty tuna), Kanpachi (amberjack), bettara-zuke (pickled daikon), Aoriika (bigfin reef squid), modori-gatsuo (skipjack tuna), hirame (flounder), uni (sea urchin), kuruma-ebi (tiger prawn), nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch) yakimono (grilled), otoro (fatty tuna), kohada (gizzard shad), anago (sea eel) two ways, tekka maki (tuna roll), shijimi miso soup. The Karei and nodoguro yakimono were delicious. The kuruma-ebi was slightly seared as I'm not a fan of raw shrimp, and it was just right and delicious. On the other hand, the tuna varieties seemed to be from Ireland and had a somewhat mushy texture, so they were not that great. In the past, no matter what I ate here, I would always think, "Delicious!" and "Expensive!" but now, as I write this somewhat critical review, I realize that my palate has become a bit more refined from trying various other restaurants. It's a bit lonely but also nostalgic to feel this way as I left the restaurant. Of course, the meal was delicious! Thank you!

I ordered a few dishes to go with my drinks and then let the chef decide the rest. Comparing the flavors of Bafun and Murasaki sea urchin was amazing. The contrast between the sauce and grilled eel was also a must-try dish.

I finally decided to make a reservation at Kyubei, which I had been missing the timing for. I ordered a 10-piece sushi set for 6,000 yen and added some extra engawa. Overall, everything was delicious. The flounder, fatty tuna, squid, and shrimp were all great. I don't usually go to high-end sushi restaurants, so everything was interesting to me. The tamagoyaki was fluffy and delicious. However, I wasn't exactly blown away. I'm now curious to try other sushi restaurants that might be more impressive. I need to explore more places.

I made a reservation for the counter seat for lunch on a regular day. By around 12 o'clock, almost all seats, including the table seats, were almost full, so it seems like making a reservation is a good idea. Today, I left it up to the chef. I was served more sushi than I imagined, so I was really full. Everything was delicious, of course. It was fun to see the chef filleting and making sushi right in front of me. Especially delicious items were: * sea urchin * bonito * fatty tuna * salmon roe * shrimp (you can choose raw or boiled. If you choose raw, the live shrimp is filleted on the spot and it moves even in the sushi!) * eel (with salt and sauce) From the appetizer to dessert, I was full! I would love to visit this restaurant again on a special occasion.

I went to Kyubei with 4 friends as we wanted to. We were able to make a reservation at the hotel restaurant. Since it was a weekday, we were able to get a reservation. It seems like sitting at the counter would be good for enjoying lively conversations with the staff. The day we went, the counter seats were bustling. The taste and size of the sushi were just right for me, and it was very delicious. If you have a big appetite, you might need to order more. I would love to visit again if it was closer to my home!! I will make a reservation and go again.

Kyubei. Not only does it offer excellent sushi, but it is also a renowned restaurant that has produced many sushi chefs. Recently, there has been some strange news causing a stir, but it has nothing to do with the sushi. The New Otani Tower branch exudes the pedigree of a top restaurant even in a casual atmosphere. I ask for recommended appetizers and enjoy sake. Dishes like flounder, salmon roe, and seasonal saury are served. Despite reports of saury shortage, Kyubei serves saury with rich flavor. I start with my favorite, gizzard shad. The gizzard shad here is a masterpiece that showcases the skill of the chef. I also enjoy the bonito. In addition, I order dishes like conger eel, fluke, squid, sea urchin, medium fatty tuna, and more until I am satisfied, which of course adds up in terms of cost. It would be ideal to indulge without hesitation during a business dinner or when feeling generous, but I guess once a year is enough.

The most comfortable place among Jubei Honten, Keio Plaza, and this place is here. The view of the buildings and light from the full glass in front of the counter, and the sushi reflected on the polished black granite like a mirror. The atmosphere is nice. I've only been here during the day. I ordered the chef's choice sushi. Everything is above average, but the shrimp is the best! They ask you how you want to eat it, so I chose boiled without hesitation. You can enjoy the moist and sweet flesh that is full of deliciousness. Oh, what about the head and miso? I wish they had put the miso on top of the sushi. I wish they had grilled the head. Is it not possible with the chef's choice course? A bit disappointing. The complex and rich dashi combined with what seems to be white miso in the lightly flavored miso soup is wonderful. I can drink sake with this. Please try it.

This is Kyubei from Hotel New Otani. Even though it's lunchtime during the Obon holiday, it's not crowded. The 6,000 yen 10-piece sushi roll course was delicious, starting with the wakame seaweed appetizer. The Nara pickles were also tasty. The sushi was consistently delicious. I will definitely come back again.

I love Kyubei♪ I picked out what moved me this time. The second picture of bonito was the best bonito I've ever had at Kyubei, with garlic and other condiments that matched perfectly! Maybe it was the right season? The fourth picture of tuna steak is always reliable, but the tuna was so tender, almost like meat. My friend even wanted seconds (laughs). The seventh picture of whale sashimi was my first time at Kyubei. It had a slight fishy smell, so I didn't really like it... After enjoying the appetizers, it was time for sushi♪ When it comes to Kyubei's sushi, you have to try the shrimp and conger eel. The performance for the shrimp sushi is wonderful, so be sure to try it! Both steamed and raw are fresh and truly delicious. The conger eel comes with sauce and salt, so you start with salt and then try the sauce. It's fluffy and melts in your mouth. And finally, the negitoro roll♪ Kyubei is not only delicious, but the head chef is really kind and funny, so please try going there at least once! Thank you for the meal.

Today was a day of rewarding myself with an amazing experience at a counter sushi restaurant, Kyubei. Every piece was carefully crafted and beautifully presented. The bonito was delicious, and the uni roll was exceptional! The scallop grilled with seaweed was also generously sized and flavorful. We also ordered some grilled dishes and then enjoyed our favorite nigiri sushi! The shrimp was so fresh that it was still moving! And the premium negitoro was the best I've ever had, with its rich and intense flavor. It was truly a luxurious night! Thank you for the delicious meal!

I was seated at the farthest seat at the counter! The seared medium fatty tuna melted in my mouth with just a little bite! It was so delicious! The fried fish bones were crispy and tasty! The conger eel can be enjoyed with two different flavors of sauce and salt! I think the white fish sashimi was... (important but forgot, haha) It was firm and chewy, really delicious! Everything was delicious!

I felt like eating sushi, so I went to this hotel. It was crowded during weekday lunchtime. The sushi was served efficiently, which was appreciated. Some people started with appetizers, while others just had nigiri. The quality of the fish was nothing special. It's a good place to eat sushi at the counter in a calm atmosphere.

I stayed luxuriously alone at the New Otani Tokyo, in the Executive House Zen for my birthday. I made a reservation for lunch at Kyubei, and they were able to accommodate everything for me. So luxurious! I made a reservation for 11:30 and was the first one there. I had champagne in the lounge in the morning, but felt a bit awkward drinking champagne while waiting for my companion, so I quietly drank tea alone. The meal was omakase style. The first dish was wakame seaweed, which was all-you-can-eat. My companion was hungry and ate a lot of wakame. It's good to get dietary fiber though. The sushi started with chu-toro (medium fatty tuna), which was great. I asked for less rice and was quickly accommodated. The sushi chef seemed like a veteran, but was easy to communicate with for specific requests. All the sushi was delicious, but the pickled mackerel that came out later was particularly good. At the beginning, I was the only one there, but by the time I left, the restaurant was almost full with foreign guests and people having business meetings. I wonder where the foreign guests were from. There was a hotel staff member who seemed to be in charge of foreign guests and was translating for them. It was a great experience at this traditional hotel. I would like to go back at night next time. I wonder if they can start with appetizers for omakase at night. I'm curious about the drinks they offer. Thank you for the meal!
