Sushi Kaneyoshi occupies the basement suite of 250 1st St in Little Tokyo, where Oyakata Yoshiyuki Inoue runs a traditional Edomae sushi program built on fish cured and aged in the classic Tokyo style. The restaurant holds one Michelin star and is listed in the Michelin Guide.
The week follows a set schedule. Tuesdays bring a collaboration omakase with Sushi Inaba. Wednesdays and Thursdays, the original dining room — called the Regular Room — serves Kaneyoshi's standard omakase. On Fridays and Saturdays, Inoue personally serves an elevated omakase in the Premium Room, an eight-seat counter that opened March 11, 2025, using a higher grade of seasonal ingredients and stricter Edomae technique. From Friday through Monday, the Regular Room space converts into sister venue Maison Kanatha.
Seating throughout is counter-style, with a private room available. Kaneyoshi is priced at the top tier ($$$$) and sits within the Kaneyoshi Group, which also runs Restaurant Ki and the late-night Bar Sawa nearby. Reservations for any of the group's venues run through a single SevenRooms booking page.
Hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 7:00 to 10:00 PM; the restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday. Given the eight-seat Premium Room and the restaurant's Michelin recognition, booking ahead through SevenRooms is the standard route to a table.
