About Sushi Yoshitake

Sushi Yoshitake is intimate even by Ginza standards, and that closeness is the point. Masahiro Yoshitake works in the Edomae tradition but is less rigid than the most austere counters, using abalone liver sauce, ankimo, vinegar balance, and careful aging to make each piece feel authored. The meal moves quickly enough that hesitation costs you warmth and texture. It is a three-star sushi counter where personality shows through discipline.

Menu highlights

  • Abalone with Liver Sauce included A Yoshitake signature, often followed by rice mixed into the remaining sauce
  • Ankimo Nigiri included Monkfish liver prepared with the counter's characteristic richness and balance

  1. 5.0
    Editorial sample

    The cooking is polished without feeling anonymous, especially when the kitchen leans into sushi detail instead of luxury for its own sake. It is expensive, but the service rhythm and wine advice made the longer menu feel measured.

  2. 5.0
    Editorial sample

    Sushi Yoshitake feels completely anchored in Ginza: the room, pacing, and chef omakase all make the meal feel specific rather than imported. The strongest courses had a clear point of view and enough restraint to avoid turning dinner into a demonstration.
