Founded in 1935,
Kyubey is a high-end sushi restaurant in between the Ginza and Shimbashi districts of Tokyo, Japan that has been named as one of the ten best restaurants in Asia. We were inspired to try Kyubey after reading a post from the
Tiny Urban Kitchen. She wrote:
"Yosuke Imada is the second generation chef-owner and has won numerous awards for his restaurant, including a Michelin star back in 2008. In fact, Chef Imada is obsessed with freshness and quality that he makes sure Kyubey serves only local, Japanese fish. There are no imports here but over 40 types of local wonders. Being one of the biggest players in the fish market (
Tsujiki Fish Market is less than a 10 minute walk away), Kyubey has access to some of the top picks at the fish market, and Imada makes sure he gets it."
