About Ginza Sushi Aoki
My sushi can be described as difficult, but if I could venture to say, I think it is sushi created by the always fresh character of the neighborhood called “Ginza.”
I keep as a foundation the traditional Edomae techniques that I and my father before me arduously trained in and inherited. Upon this foundation, the ever-changing atmosphere of Ginza, conversations with food-loving guests, flavors I recall from my travels, these various components have become hints or sparks of inspiration, bestowing a unique identity upon the restaurant.
Our nishi-azabu location is even more experimental, collaborating with chefs to give birth to more and more original sushi, and finding great approval from our guests. However, I accept that through comments received and my own sense of taste, it will take time to weed out the best among these.

Kue (Longtooth grouper)
Kue is generally large and the flesh is quite tough right after it is caught. So at Ginza Sushi Aoki, we ice-age the fish for approximately 10 days to bring out the umami and to allow the flesh to soften a bit. When serving it as sushi, we slice the fish thinly, stacking in thin layers, and top with a squeeze of fresh sudachi citrus juice and sea salt.
Our Cuisine
Sushi alone can make a great meal.
Sake with otsumami, such as sashimi or grilled fish, can also make a great meal.
We have the honor of serving omakase, where our guests entrust us to create a course determined by the seasons and our own skill and experience, but if there are preferences for more or less wasabi, thickness of cuts of fish, another serving of something special, or otsumami to go with sake, please don’t hesitate to let us know at the counter.
