About this place
Plates arrive with long, glossy slabs of seafood that drape generously over the sushi rice beneath. Tucked under the elevated tracks in Ginza 8-chome, Sushi no Midori is known for serving satisfyingly large nigiri at accessible prices. Cuts range from rich chutoro and lean tuna to substantial red prawns and dramatic full fillets of simmered anago (sea eel), ensuring each mouthful feels hearty.
Beyond the sushi, one item frequently cited in reviews is the mini kani miso salad. The rich, savory crab tomalley dressing and shredded crab meat coat crisp salad greens, making it a favorite starter alongside a warm cup of chawanmushi custard before the sushi arrives. Guests can order assorted set platters, seasonal selections such as the Matsuri set, or build their own meal by adding individual nigiri and cooked small plates piece by piece.
Both counter seats overlooking the sushi chefs and table options fill the lively dining room, which bustles from lunch straight through the evening. An automated numbering system at the entrance issues waiting tickets, and queues tend to lengthen at peak meal times. Securing an advance reservation or arriving close to opening hours offers a smoother experience.
