Kinka Sushi Bar Izakaya Roppongi

Seared sushi is absolutely delicious - this is a must eat! I tried all of them and the salmon is the best.
Eating during lunch is the most worth it. For lunch, the meal comes with complimentary salad, soup, and small side veggies.
I recommend getting the 10 piece nigiri sampler. If you don't like wasabi, make sure to ask for no wasabi

Just across the street from the National Art Center, Kinka is on the 2nd floor and they serve lunch til 2.30 pm and will reopen for dinner at 5 pm.

There is no waiting queue when i was there which was something unexpected in Japan. I ordered Mosaic sushi set and an egg omelette as a side dish, which look really nice and taste great.

I have never had such good sushi. I'm talking about melt in your mouth. I've honestly been thinking about this place since I left Tokyo. The 10 and 12 piece set was amazing. We sat at the counter and watched the chef masterfully put this together. We happened to stumble across this place after going to the art museum and were not disappointed. If I ever come back to Japan I am coming here. Thanks you KINKA for making my experience so special. Also thank you to the wonderful waitress who let my friend charge his phone. We were running now on battery power and it saved us! Arigatou gozaimasu!!!

One of the best meals I have ever eaten in Japan! Would recommend booking in advance, we went here without any and was lucky enough to get a seat for 3. The waiter, Hiyato, was so NICE and humorous, he only made the experience better than it could possibly be! Literally every single dish that came out was a 10/10. Just expect a mouth watering experience. We ordered this beef bowl that was stunning, plain rice was all that was needed. We instantly booked a reservation for our next visit after this meal 😂

First off, Kinka Sushi Bar Izakaya was an experience in Japan that I’ll always remember, and for good reason. The customer service is topnotch with the staff offering you warm hand towels immediately right after you get seated since it’s freezing outside. They also take the time to explain every dish and were very patient in explaining each dish as well as recommending the drinks that would really go well with our sushi choice. Kudos to Rui-san and Tatsuya-san for being so attentive and just the best servers of the night. Kudos also to the chef for preparing a memorable meal.

Fish Miso Soup - The fish miso soup is like a comfort food you eat whenever you feel down. The flavor is just that good! The fish tastes fresh also which is not common for restaurants since some don’t know how to properly cook salmon without making it taste weird.

Aburicious 6 - The presentation and plating of the dish is really great and satisfying. It looks very appetizing!

Salmon Sushi - The salmon sushi is torched perfectly and the flavor dances in your mouth!

Gyu Sushi - On a whole ‘nother level because of the beef’s flavor that’s very unique and there’s a hint of peanut flavor that makes the taste even better 😊

Ebi Sushi - as a shrimp lover, their Ebi sushi is the best I’ve ever had so far because of the way the shrimp had been torched plus the toppings that made the experience even better.

Saba Sushi - this is by far the best from the Aburicious 6. The mackerel is definitely fresh, with a strong mackerel flavor that leaves you wanting more.

Anago Sushi - this is the first time I’ve tried eating conger and so far it didn’t disappoint at all. It’s really good is all I can say.

Kinka Sushi - Last but definitely not the least, the restaurant’s specialty that will make me remember the restaurant and make me want to go back again.

Ultimate 10 kinds of sashimi platter - First off, I literally can’t say anything bad with the presentation because it’s so beautiful and you’re afraid to just pick things off of the plate.

Even the dip is very unique. There are 3 choices, first is the normal soy sauce that you can try everyday. Next is the nigiri tempura dip that goes well with the salt with wine!!! A tip for everyone, the japanese beef goes well with the normal soy sauce and the fish roe goes well with the nigiri + salt with wine combination!

Masumi Sake - really goes well with the sushi and sashimi!!!

Sake Sangria - this one is definitely great for an evening drink since it has a fruity taste that goes well with the sushi every time you sip it after eating a piece.

Overall, I will rate Kinka Sushi Bar Izakaya a 10/10 and will definitely go back again. The place should be famous for the delicious food and great customer service!
