Ginzo — Restaurant in Tokyo

《秋葉原の活気あふれる寿司屋》

【立地】 秋葉原駅から徒歩2分の好立地。高架下にあるお寿司屋さん。

【ランチ価格】 ￥2000〜　／ご飯大盛り、お代わり無料 大人ふたりランチで利用しました。お任せ握りセット（天ぷら、茶碗蒸し、お椀付き￥2400）、単品でえんがわ（1貫￥160）を2貫とつぶ貝（1 貫¥180）を2貫、ビール3杯飲んで、合計金額￥7500でした。

【食事】 ・天ぷら…海老、ちくわ、さつまいも、スナップエンドウ。揚げたてでサクッと美味しかったです。大根と生姜のすりおろしが付いていて、さっぱりといただけました。 ・茶碗蒸し…こちらも作りたての温かい提供。出汁の味が効いていて日本人好みの優しい味わいでした。滑らかな舌触りでした。 ・寿司…ネタが大きくて1貫ごとの満足感が高いと思いました。好みがあると思いますが、いくら、穴子、えんがわが美味しかったです。 ネタに対してシャリの量が若干多いように感じました。シャリの味も、もう少し酸味が効いていた方が好きだなと感じました。都会の真ん中だから仕方ないかもしれませんが、もう少し新鮮なネタだとさらに美味しいと思いました。

【サービス】 土日の13時ごろお昼時の利用でしたが、並ばず入れました。 カウンター席だと目の前で寿司職人の人が握ってくれて、ライブ感が楽しい。店員の方々の掛け声が明るく、活気がありました。奥にもテーブル席があり、席が充実していました。

席に着くと、まずメニューとお茶を出してくれて、注文後すぐにビール、天ぷら、茶碗蒸しが出てきました。注文後の待ち時間が少なくて良かったです。 秋葉原という立地上、外国人のお客さんが多かったです。店員さんの対応も感じ良く、好印象でした。

《A lively sushi restaurant in Akihabara》 [Location] A great location, just a 2-minute walk from Akihabara Station. A sushi restaurant under the elevated railway.[Lunch prices]From ¥2000 / Free extra large servings of rice, free refills.

We went here for lunch with two adults. We ordered the chef's choice nigiri set (with tempura, chawanmushi, and soup, ¥2400 ), two individual pieces of flounder (¥160 each) and two pieces of whelk (¥180 each), and had three beers, for a total of ¥7500.

[Food] -Tempura... Shrimp, Chikuwa, sweet potato, snap peas. It was freshly fried and crispy and delicious. It came with grated daikon radish and ginger, which made it refreshing. -Chawanmushi... This was also freshly made and served warm. The flavor of the dashi stock was strong, and the gentle taste was to the liking of Japanese people. It had a smooth texture. -Sushi... The toppings were large, and I felt very satisfied with each piece. I'm sure it depends on your taste, but the salmon roe, conger eel, and flounder were delicious. I felt that the amount of rice was a little too much for the amount of toppings. I also felt that I would prefer the rice to have a more sour taste. It may be inevitable since it's in the middle of the city, but I think it would be even more delicious if the ingredients were a little fresher.

[Service] I went there at lunchtime on a Saturday or Sunday around 1pm, but I was able to get in without having to wait in line. At the counter seats, the sushi chefs made the sushi right in front of me, so it felt like a live performance. The staff's calls were bright and lively. There were tables in the back, and there were plenty of seats.

When I sat down, they first brought me the menu and tea, and after I ordered, beer, tempura, and Chawanmushi came out immediately. I was glad that there was little waiting time after ordering. Because it's in Akihabara, there were many foreign customers. The staff were also very friendly, and I had a good...

Where do I start... well, first let's talk about service. I've ordered quite a bit and when I stated that I ordered hot tea, the waiter (male) insisted that I've ordered a cold tea. Uhhh.. I told him I'm pretty sure I've ordered hot. He said (in broken English) "NO! YOU ORDER COLD. COLD". To this I said okay. Can I get a hot one please? A hot one was given with extreme attitude.

Next, I ordered miso soup and they've forgotten about it. Midway through, I asked him and again frustration. Though I'm pretty sure he knew I've ordered it beforehand. He begrudgingly accepted and a waitress had given us the misos.

Strange. I never dealt with this issue in Japan (been in Japan for only two days and visited probably 27 places). Food was decent though. I am a non Japanese speaking American Asian Male...

This was my first sushi place in Japan, and I am really happy about it! I love eating sushi, so I was really excited to try all the different kinds that were offered here. I usually only ever eat salmon sushi, occasionally tuna, but being in Japan I knew I had to try more.

Firstly, this restaurant had a large fish selection. I don't eat certain kinds of fish, and even then there was a lot for me! All the fish tasted fresh and very good, and the rice was very tasty to accompany all the pieces.

The atmosphere was cozy too, and me and my friends had a really fun time eating and talking here. Ordering was super easy too, we just wrote the quantity of what items we wanted on a paper and then handed it to a waiter.

Overall if you are in Akihabara and want to have some great sushi, definitely check...
