Sushi Ochi Ai

This sushi restaurant features dishes that make the most of seasonal ingredients. The owner is particular about the selection of ingredients, using mainly fresh seafood, seasonal vegetables, and specially selected flavorful seasonings, and offers creative sushi dishes that combine traditional Edo-mae sushi techniques with new ideas. One of the restaurant's attractions is the wine and sake pairings that go well with the cuisine.

This sushi restaurant with a chic and relaxed atmosphere is located on a quiet street corner in Higashi-Ginza. The interior is a fusion of modern cleanliness and sophisticated design while using materials that evoke traditional Japanese beauty. Counter seating allows diners to observe the craftsmanship of the chefs up close, while private table seating offers a more relaxed atmosphere, making the restaurant suitable for all purposes.
