Sushi no Midori Ginza

Midori’s branch sits beneath the elevated expressway, on the first floor of the Yamashita Building, a five-minute walk from Shimbashi. Its setting reflects everyday Ginza: behind the department-store façades are dining corridors where workers, shoppers and Kabukiza audiences look for a straightforward meal without turning it into a luxury dinner.

The menu centres on nigiri, sashimi, platters and seasonal sushi. The restaurant accepts seat reservations and takeaway; it has 82 seats, but in-person queue tickets begin at 10 a.m. and may stop if the remaining line cannot be served before closing. For a theatre performance or train connection, queue time matters as much as the menu.

Reviews for this address value the size of some pieces, the set menus and the sense of good value for Ginza. They also make clear that popularity brings an active dining room and regular queues around lunch. This is not a quiet chef’s counter: reserve when possible or take a queue number early.

The branch confirms it has no parking and directs drivers to nearby paid garages, so Shimbashi Station is usually easier. The bill depends on the selection and can rise beyond a basic lunch, although the set menus make comparison possible. It suits diners looking for seasonal sushi in Ginza, provided they plan for the queue.
