Sushi Arai

Streamlined, sophisticated venue offering a menu of refined sushi & sashimi bites.

Sushi Arai is the Ginza counter that earned its way into the very-hard-to-book tier. A 4.62 on Tabelog is the rank that opens doors. The room is small, the pacing is purposeful, the tea between courses matters. Reservations open months out and fill the same day. Worth the planning if you want one of the most decorated sushi meals in the city.
