Sushi Issey serves Edomae-style sushi at 13-7 Yasuechō in Kanazawa, with an English menu and a lunch omakase offered alongside the dinner course. The current omakase is priced at ¥9,350 per person, tax included, placing it in the moderate tier among the city's sushi counters.

Dinner service runs from 17:00 to 22:00 Monday through Saturday. Tuesday and Thursday typically have a single seating, while other weekdays offer two seatings. The restaurant is closed on Sundays.

Reservations are handled through TableCheck and open up to two months ahead of a visit; slots for the third month out become available on the first of the preceding month. Parties of six or more are asked to call the restaurant directly rather than book online, and the kitchen requests that guests flag any allergies or disliked ingredients in advance, noting that same-day menu changes aren't possible given sourcing constraints.

The dress code is smart casual, and the venue asks that guests avoid strong perfume and refrain from smoking inside. There is no waiting area, so arriving earlier than the reserved time is discouraged. Same-day cancellations are charged the full reservation amount.

Guests should note that the restaurant has announced a closure from November 2026 through January 2027 for the owner's maternity leave, with service expected to resume in February 2027.
