Ginza, Tokyo is an area with many famous sushi restaurants. On the 9th floor of a building in Ginza 7-Chome is where “Sushi Kiyoshi” is located.

In addition, the fish is rest for several days to bring out the original flavor of the ingredients. The use of 3 types of vinegared rice is unique to “Sushi Kiyoshi”. The three types of vinegar, white, red and rose, are mixed with rice from different regions, and they are changed according to the ingredients used in the sushi. "Nikomaru" from Goto City in Nagasaki Prefecture that is carefully selected by the chef, "Yukihoka" from Kawabamura in Gunma Prefecture that is chosen because the sweetness of the rice goes well with the sushi and "Koshihikari" from Kyotango City in Kyoto that goes well with red vinegar are used. Using only vinegar and salt, the vinegared rice allows you to feel the full flavor and character of the rice. The sake that goes well with sushi and side dishes is recommended by the owner, who also has a license as a sake brewer. There are about 5 to 6 types of wine from California, France, New Zealand and etc.
