The restaurant uses seasonal fish caught in the waters around Hachijojima, and the chef will explain each type of fish used in your order if you ask! I recommend calling in advance to reserve your seat(s) and place your order. The staff are very polite and helpful, and this was some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. I hope I can go back someday!

Ginpachi, a long-established sushi restaurant on Hachijojima 🍣, is a famous place for island sushi. If you visit Hachijojima, I highly recommend trying their island sushi. You will be amazed by the different taste and flavors compared to Edomae sushi. I recommend it!

We stopped by without a reservation on a Monday night and were seated right away. The sushi, maguro maki rolls, kappa maki rolls, and the Island sushi were all delicious!! The service was great and although we do not speak Japanese we were able to order and have a little conversation with the staff. Price was very reasonable too!

Very disappointed and it was terrible! Because overall there was nothing special and I gusss it was below average. I was especially surprised that sea urchin was the worst one since it was very stink! Never ever recommend. FYI I did not have Shima zushi, just had Nigiri, traditional Japanese Sushi. And the owner was so strong character, be careful.

I took the island fish sushi set, one of the best sushis I had in Japan!! 🇯🇵 I would recommend everyone to come to this place, also very nice people
