About this place
Set among the office buildings of Shinbashi, Sushi Kanemasa Sushi Kanesho welcomes guests with heartfelt hospitality and the unpretentious atmosphere of a classic neighborhood sushi bar. Consulting directly with the chef across the counter over the day's catch makes for an engaging meal, with highlights that may range from the rich, tender umami of simmered sea eel (anago) and cured gizzard shad (kohada) to thoughtful drinking snacks such as marbled sole (mako-garei) served with liver ponzu when in season. Leaving the selection to the chef's recommendations delivers a well-paced rhythm of seasonal flavors based on that morning's market haul.
The menu features nigiri assortments organized in tiers of Sho (pine), Chiku (bamboo), and Bai (plum), alongside sashimi platters named Momiji (maple), Sakura (cherry blossom), and Ran (orchid), making it easy to tailor the meal to the occasion. A leisurely evening unfolds naturally by sampling sashimi over cold sake or beer, then concluding with classic rolled sushi such as tuna (tekka), cucumber (kappa), or simmered gourd strips (kanpyo).
The restaurant operates on weekday evenings from 17:00 to 23:00, serving as a dependable spot for a quiet post-work dinner or an evening drink. Reserving in advance is recommended when planning an unhurried visit.
