Sushi Ishijima sits in a converted old house in Kobikicho, a quiet pocket of Ginza, Tokyo. Chef Yoshiki Ishijima, who trained in Edomae sushi at established Tokyo sushi shops, works the white-wood counter, preparing nigiri and small plates with rice seasoned in the Edo-style red vinegar tradition. Seafood is sourced directly from Toyosu Market.
The restaurant is counter-only, with no private room, so seating is limited and the meal unfolds as a direct exchange with the chef. An English menu is available, and a sake pairing can accompany the courses. Both lunch and dinner omakase are offered, open Monday through Friday for lunch (11:30–14:00) and dinner (18:00–23:00), and Saturday evenings only (17:30–22:30); the restaurant is closed Sundays.
This is a price-tier 4 (luxury) omakase experience; specific course prices are not listed here and should be confirmed directly with the restaurant or through the booking platform. Reservations run through autoreserve.com, and the restaurant accepts payment beyond cash only, per listed facts. The address is 1-chōme-24-3 Ginza, Chuo City, and the restaurant can be reached by phone at 03-6228-6539 or via its official website.
The space itself is described as a renovated old folk house, with a bamboo ceiling and seasonal flowers set against a calm, traditional Japanese interior. The restaurant has operated since 2010. It is not currently Michelin-listed.
