"Sushi Ryusuke, run by the friendly Chef Ryusuke Yamane. This tiny sushi restaurant in Ginza that serves some rather unorthodox but delicious sushi. His training at kyubey belies the Kyubei style influences on the meal. A few otsumami served between the nigiri, and two different types of shari used depending on the topping."

The 20 Best Sushi Restaurants for Lunch in Tokyo
Cutie Patroller さん(@cutiepatroller)がシェアした投稿 - 4月 20, 2016 at 10:11午前 PDT. This great sushi restaurant was opened in 2016 by Ryusuke Yamane, who has honed his skills at "Kyubey" and "Sushi-Ichi."Their most popular selection is their great value lunch course, 10,000 yen for 15 pieces of sushi.While it is a nigiri course, sides like Kyoto-style grilled mackarel, uni and hair crab chawanmushi, and sometimes even croquettes and other dishes made with truffle or caviar are served alongside as a testament to the restaurant's splendid service.The sushi rice used varies between two types depending on the toppings (seafood) used.The high-quality uni, carefully procured every morning by Chef Yamane, is paired with umami-packed red vinegar rice.Although this is a very highly-rated restaurant, a popular secret is that it's relatively easy to book for reservations.If you would like to stop by, be sure to contact the hotel concierge at least a month in advance of your desired reservation date. ◆Sushi RyusukeBudget: 10,000-14,999 yenPhone: 03-3572-1530Hours:[Lunch] 12:00~[Dinner] 17:30-22:30Closed: Sundays, holidaysAddress: B1F 7-3-13 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo
