GINZA SUSHI BANYA KAI

This area actually has quite a few omakase sushi places 🍣. However, there can be a significant price difference! After searching online for quite some time, I finally chose this one! I thought the reviews were quite good, and the prices seemed fairly reasonable! Since today is my first day in Japan, I was a bit worried that I wouldn't make it to the earliest dining time due to transportation issues, so I booked a later one at 8:30 🍽️.

Once I entered the restaurant, I noticed that most of the diners were locals. If you're a foreign traveler, you often get seated in front of a female chef, perhaps because her English is better... or maybe because she works faster! It’s true that we foreigners tend to eat faster than the Japanese here...

Overall, the dining experience was quite pleasant, but I found the ingredients fresh; it’s not the kind of delicate flavor you might expect! If you’re looking for something a bit more refined, you might want to choose another restaurant! It feels like a place where locals might come when they think about wanting to eat sushi.

Basically, I probably wouldn’t specifically come back here next time, but if you’re unsure of what to eat, it might be worth considering!
