A local would say...

Since 1935, three generations of the Imada family have been serving Ginza's finest sushi — the owner still speaks fluent English with every guest.

Since 1935, Kyubey has been the gold standard of Ginza sushi, serving piece by exquisite piece at a counter where friendly English-speaking chef Imada-san makes every guest feel like a celebrity. The fish is impossibly fresh, the rice perfectly seasoned, and the pace is unhurried — this is sushi as meditation. The lunchtime omakase is surprisingly accessible and might just be the best-value splurge in all of Ginza. Sit at the counter and let the master guide your meal.
