Message: | Not to be argumentative, but I have to admit that my experience at Ginza Sushiko was less than fantastic. Sure, the sushi is good. But I felt that it was not as good as the sushi at Nozawa and was 10 times the price. What we felt we were paying for (or rather our boss was paying for), was not great sushi, but rather gimmicks. For instance, we were served a salad (the size of a Chinese teacup) with actual gold shavings on top. I couldn't taste the gold, so why should I care that I was eating it? We were served poisonous fish, which was an interesting experience, but not for the flavor. Even the sodas were outrageously priced. I beleive we paid $10 for a can of Coke. Ridiculous.
The service is great, mainly because there are only about 12 seats in the place. But none of this is worth the phenomenally overinflated price, IMHO. There was ONE course that was truly incredible. Kobe beef sushi. Raw beef that was more tender than tuna. THAT was great. Other than that... save your money. |
