Sushi Suzuki (鮨 鈴木) Tokyo

Lunch Sushi at a Renowned Ginza RestaurantWhat I had:- Lunch Sushi- Squid- Flatfish- Red Fish- Medium Fatty Tuna- Fatty Tuna- Gizzard Shad- Sweetfish- Horse Mackerel- Surf Clam- Shrimp- Sea Urchin- Clam- Eel- Toro-Taku Roll- TamagoyakiThe restaurant was cozy and had a welcoming atmosphere. In famous establishments of this caliber, it’s not uncommon for customers to feel a bit uneasy, but here, the chef and his wife were friendly and personable, making for a wonderful experience.I have only had a few experiences with non-conveyor belt sushi, so I can't really judge the taste or cost performance. However, considering the ambiance, flavor, and location, I was very satisfied with my meal, even as a novice.It was a great meal! Less

It had been six months since my last evening course, and as usual, I started with Kudokijou. Thanks to a cancellation, there were only two customers, including myself, making it almost a private dining experience. I had a great conversation with the Suzuki couple, more than usual.The appetizers may look simple, but they are absolutely flawless. The comparison between the Nita and the tail meat of the Nagasu was delightful, especially the Nagasu, which was exceptional. The grilled Managatsuo was also excellent. I believe no extra comments are needed for the nigiri, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. It was a great meal! Less

It's been three months since my last visit to Sushi Suzuki.I come here for the delicious sushi and the chef's sharp wit.At first, he seems quiet, but once we reach the medium-sized nigiri, he really gets going.Here it comes, here it comes, this is it!So much fun!I enjoy the nigiri while listening to the chef's stories.The rice is firm and packed with flavor.This is definitely one of my go-to sushi spots.○ Aori Ika (Baby Cuttlefish)○ Karei (Flounder)○ Isaki (Chicken Grunt)○ Akami (Red Tuna)○ Chutoro (Medium Fatty Tuna)○ Otoro (Fatty Tuna)○ Ebodai (Sweetfish)○ Aji (Horse Mackerel)○ Hiragai (Surf Clam)○ Kuruma Ebi (Tiger Prawn)● Miso Soup○ Bafun Uni (Sea Urchin)○ Hamaguri (Clam)○ Anago (Conger Eel)○ ● Tamagoyaki (Japanese Omelette) Less

I made a reservation about two months ago and visited the restaurant. For lunch, they only offer a sushi course. We started at 12 PM and stayed for just under two hours. I was mesmerized by Chef Suzuki's incredible skills. It was truly impressive! Here are my impressions of the meal. The ingredients were, of course, top-notch, but the rice was exceptionally delicious. It was a blend of red vinegar and rice vinegar, and the umami flavor was outstanding. I lack the vocabulary to express it fully, but the balance between the fish and the rice was remarkable, making it "incredibly delicious" sushi. We had: - Cold Oolong Tea - Aori Ika (Baby Squid) - Hirame (Flounder) with Kombu - Isaki (Chicken Grunt) - Akami (Lean Tuna) - Chutoro (Medium Fatty Tuna) - Otoro (Fatty Tuna) - Kohada (Gizzard Shad) - Ebi (Shrimp) - Bafun Uni (Sea Urchin) - Hamaguri (Clam) - Anago (Sea Eel) - Toro Maki (Fatty Tuna Roll) - Tamago (Egg) - (Additional) Toro Hosomaki (Fatty Tuna Thin Roll) Personally, I especially enjoyed the Bafun Uni, Aji (Horse Mackerel), Toro, and Toro Hosomaki. I was quite full, but I couldn't resist adding the Toro Hosomaki! Chef Suzuki was very pleasant and had an interesting conversation, which made the dining experience enjoyable. I definitely want to visit again. It was a great meal! Less

【Business Meeting Suitability】★★★★★【Accompanied Guest Suitability】★★★☆☆【Private Rooms】None【Estimated Budget】JPY 60,000 - 65,000 per person【Atmosphere】A casual vibe with the chef's lively conversation, encouraging interaction among counter guests.【Recommended Occasions】Since there are only counter seats, it’s suitable for business meetings with up to 3 people. However, it’s often difficult for accompanied guests to leave before 8:30 PM.The sushi rice and pickled ginger are delicious, and they serve some of the best tuna among their suppliers. The chef has a passion for shellfish, offering a wide variety that is also tasty. While the chef operates solo, so the dishes may not be elaborate, the classic Edomae sushi here is among the best in Ginza. Less

Back to the category of "great sushi restaurants in Tokyo you can actually book": Sushi Suzuki. Suzuki-san has been running his own shop in Ginza for more than a decade now, but his training at Sushi Aoki in the same neighborhood are as strong bona fides as anyone can get. The sushi is large sized and the rice is strongly seasoned with a much higher proportion of akazu than many other contemporaries. Ingredient quality is high and occasionally, exceptional.

Suzuki-san's bozushi is one of the best "edomae" versions to be found anywhere. There is stunning visual, textual and flavor contrast between the sour rice, rich saba, lightly torched skin, and sweet shiroita konbu. While a few high end sushiya (most notably, Sushi Saito) have incorporated bozushi into their course, Suzuki-san's might be my favorite in Tokyo. Less
