"Often referred to as one of the finest sushi places in Tokyo, Kyubey is classic style sushi dining in the heart of Ginza. For what you get in terms of service, quality, and total appreciation of the art of sushi, ¥8,400 for the omakase lunch is an amazing deal."
"Set inside a beautiful four storey restaurant, Ginza Kyubey is widely regarded as one of the best sushi restaurants in Tokyo, and despite their owner Imada San being well into his 70s now the restaurant is still one of the best places to visit on a trip to the Japanese capital."

"This is one of those rolls that I inexplicably crave once in awhile. The flavor is both sour and salty, the texture very sticky."

"The fish at Kyubei is extremely fresh and the pricing much more reasonable than Sukiyabashi Jiro."

"The famous roll of sea urchin and seaweed. The sea urchin roll was excellent. Nothing surprising – they have invented it."
"The first piece of sushi was otoro… divine, what can I say."
"At Kyubey, we noticed a more assertive wasabi kick on each piece, with the rice less overtly sour, stickier, and packed more tightly. If money were no object, one could have a lot of fun visiting these and other elite sushi temples."

"Kyubey, is an excellent choice in the sushi department when in Tokyo. This is a high end restaurant, so you can expect to pay $150-$200 per person for this amazing decadence and craft."
