Ginza Kokuu | Sushi Restaurant in Ginza, Tokyo
GINZA KOKUU
Concept
A small counter-only sushi bar
A one-minute walk from Ginza-itchome Station, just off the main street, the restaurant holds nothing but a counter cut from a single slab of hinoki cypress.
Seasonal fish arrives from across Japan, and only what is judged best that morning is served, as appetizers and nigiri. Because the menu follows the day's catch, no two days are alike.
The restaurant opened in April 2026. Guests come for business dinners, anniversaries and quiet meals with someone close.
One piece at a time
Appetizers and nigiri that follow the seasons, in a menu served only once.
Omakase
Appetizers and nigiri
The omakase moves between appetizers and nigiri.
A clear soup and a grilled dish sit between them, following the turn of the seasons.
01Sushi
Edomae nigiri
Seasonal fish from across Japan is prepared to suit its condition on the day. The omakase weaves appetizers and nigiri together to follow the turn of the seasons.
02Counter
Seven seats of hinoki
The room holds only a counter cut from a single slab of hinoki. You sit close enough to watch the chef at work and to talk with the chef and the proprietress. The restaurant can also be booked privately for parties of four adults or more.
03Sake
Sake chosen by the proprietress
The proprietress holds both a chef's license and a sake sommelier qualification, and chooses sake to sit alongside each dish. A sushi and sake pairing course is also available.
