Ginza Kyubey Main Store

Ginza Kyubey Main Store

Ginza Kyubey Main Store is known as a long-established sushi shop founded in 1935, one of Japan's representative celebrated establishments of Edo-style sushi. Located in Ginza 8-chome, it has been loved for many years by gourmets, cultural figures, and celebrities both domestic and international. It is highly acclaimed as an establishment that has developed Japan's sushi culture while preserving tradition and incorporating innovations suited to the times.

The Restaurant's Dedication and Philosophy

The allure of Kyubey lies in the Edo-style sushi born from carefully selected seasonal ingredients and artisanal skills. Fresh seafood sourced from across Japan, centered on Toyosu Market, is carefully prepared according to the condition of each day, maximizing the individual character that each ingredient possesses.

Kyubey is also known for having created numerous innovations within the sushi industry. A representative example is the invention of the "gunkan-maki" (battleship roll). Devised as a way to beautifully serve ingredients such as ikura (salmon roe) and uni (sea urchin) that were difficult to express through nigiri, it has now become a symbol of sushi culture.

The shari features a flavor that exquisitely harmonizes red vinegar and rice vinegar, with a finish that emphasizes unity with the topping.
