Sushi or Ginza? How about have them both?

When it comes to Tokyo, the heart of the city’s fashion scene lies in Ginza. Its bustling streets are always teeming with stylish individuals, each weaving through the district with their unique flair.

But it’s not just the fashion-forward crowd that makes Ginza captivating. The very essence of taste and refinement is palpable here, from the meticulously curated displays in world-renowned fashion boutiques to the architectural marvels that punctuate the streetscape.

And beyond fashion, Ginza is a culinary haven, drawing together an array greatest dining establishments from across Tokyo.

Pedestrian Paradise in Tokyo’s Ginza is a delightful weekend experience. From 1:00 PM till early evening, the central avenue transforms into a car-free haven. Stroll leisurely, set up chairs, and enjoy the bustling Ginza Chuo-dori shopping street.

In Tokyo’s Ginza district, we often envision leisurely strolls through forests or along riverbanks. However, here, the experience is quite different. Picture yourself wandering along a chic boulevard.

No bustling traffic, no traffic signals to impede your way. It’s a fashion-forward pedestrian paradise! In the vibrant streets of Tokyo, you’ll encounter a delightful surprise: talented street artists popping up in various corners.

On weekends, Tokyo’s Akihabara and Ginza transform into pedestrian paradises. From around 1:00 PM until early evening, these bustling districts close their streets to vehicles, allowing pedestrians to roam freely.

It’s a delightful experience where you can explore the city without the usual traffic hustle and bustle.

On Sundays, the Toyosu Fish Market takes a break, leaving sushi enthusiasts yearning for the freshest catch.

Isn’t this the renowned queue-worthy spot from the original Tsukiji Market? Even though we missed out on Toyosu’s sashimi feast, here at Tsukiji, Tsukiji Sushiko has been serving eager ssushi lovers since 7:00 AM—and every seat is taken!

In the heart of Tokyo’s Ginza, the storefronts exude an ambiance distinct from the bustling energy of Tsukiji Market. Here, it’s all about effortless elegance and sophistication.

In the midst of dining rush hours, each private booth remains fully occupied, maintaining excellent food quality and a smooth pace for serving.

Each bite is a harmonious symphony of flavors, a testament to the artistry that has delighted discerning palates for generations.

Fresh seafood not only lacks any fishy odor, but when you take a bite, it feels light and almost as if it melts along with your taste buds. The ultimate value lies in this bowl of ‘Supreme Sweet Shrimp Seafood Donburi.

The menu predominantly features Edomae-style sushi, emphasizing the art of nigiri sushi—the fundamental technique. Here, premium ingredients are meticulously condensed into a single exquisite bite using a delicate blend of sea salt and vinegar.

The texture rivals that of Wagyu beef, and the supremely tender toro (fatty tuna belly) practically melts in your mouth.

We added a grilled fish to our order, and its abundant, tender flesh left us wondering.

The essential criteria for crafting a perfect piece of sushi include:

Steady hand warmth for swiftly enveloping fresh fish and rice.

The freshness of the fish itself.

Grinding fresh wasabi right before serving. 

And here, with all these elements in place.
