An intimate sushi restaurant in Ginza offering exquisite Edomae-style sushi and drinks from a former Ginza Onodera chef

Found a five-minute walk from Shimbashi station in Ginza 8-chome, Gintomi attracts diners for its excellent sushi, made by chef Tetsuhisa Takahashi.

Takahashi started his culinary career at the age of 18, when he began working at Miyakozushi in Nihombashi Kakigaracho. As his skills progressed, he honed his technique at Japanese restaurants and Ginza Edogin run by his father, as well as Ginza Onodera. Later, he inherited his father’s restaurant and renovated it into his own sushi restaurant, Gintomi, in 2018.

His new restaurant not only took part of its name, “Tomi,” from his father’s name, but also inherited his father’s concept of making Edomae-style sushi designed especially to pair with drinks. The sushi rice is seasoned with red vinegar made from sake lees to add a piquant, salty flavor; meanwhile, rice is cooked in a broad-brimmed cooking pot to bring out its flavor, balancing salt levels carefully. Finally, the seafood is skillfully prepared to match the sushi rice.

Gintomi sources tuna from a specialty broker in Toyosu Market. “Although tuna caught in Japanese waters is more popular, I would like to feature natural Pacific bluefin tuna caught outside the territorial waters, depending on the season, to promote its value to a wide audience,” says chef Takahashi, who is keen to secure the best-quality seafood in anticipation of changes to fisheries in the future. The restaurant also offers several varieties of seasonal sake as well as a wide selection of wines, international spirits, shochu, and soft drinks to meet the demands of different customers.

Chef Takahashi is also committed to offering a comfortable and relaxing environment. “Since we offer traditional cuisine like sushi, we would like to serve it in an exquisite setting created by a master builder.”

In the center of the restaurant, an L-shaped counter takes pride of place – seating nine guests and made of solid hinoki cypress wood, it was inherited from Ginza Edogin. Comfortable enough for extended seatings, the restaurant’s custom-made chairs are adored by regulars. Meanwhile, guests dine in a stylish setting, in a space with cedar accents and earthen walls made of straw, mud, and sand from Awaji.

The exquisite sushi and luxurious interior may feel a little overwhelming for the senses, but chef Takahashi’s warm hospitality and friendly conversation makes guests feel at home. Diners are cordially invited to enjoy the exceptional flavors of Gintomi in extraordinary settings with family, partners, friends, or colleagues.
