We went to Ginza Sushi today. My wife felt it wasn’t their best hour, but for me, it was the same top quality we’ve enjoyed for years. So I don’t want to discount her feelings, but personally, I loved it.

The prices have gone up. A lot. But I went to another eatery the other day near Ginza, Jack Holders, and for a sandwich with side and a drink my lunch was $35. Usually it would be about $20. So prices are going up everywhere.

The rice of the sushi was not as tightly packed as it could have been, but I attributed it to the humid weather we’ve been having.

My miso was hot and tasty, and my salad had the same awesome dressing as always. I also enjoyed the tempura, which featured carrot, sweet potato (fortunately for my CKD only one small one), zucchini and shrimp. Wow, so good.

They have soy sauce with less sodium along with the full-test version, and for me, that was a life-saver. I figured there was about 300 mg of sodium in the portion I poured, and after I mixed it with wasabi, I probably only ate about half of it; not bad.

I did have some sauce with my tempura as well, but I didn’t dip the fried treats very much. I also enjoyed a lychee soda for the first time; it came in a bottle with a marble in it, which governed how much drink came out how fast. Interesting and delicious. I was glad to only have the one glass, as it had 22 grams of sugar. I’d wanted pineapple juice as it’s okay with CKD, but they were out.

For my entree, I had Philadelphia roll, and the cream cheese (good for CKD), salmon and avocado were delicious. And the atmosphere was perfect; not too cold and not too warm, not too noisy, and the furnishings were comfortable.

I looked on my phone and I’d already given them 5 stars on Google, so I took photos of my meal, and added them to my review while my wife polished off her food.

I’d recommend Ginza Sushi anytime.
