Story
Welcome to Ebisu Endou, a sushi restaurant located in a quiet corner uphill from Ebisu Station. Opened in February 2019, the spacious interior and large windows of the fourth-floor commercial building invite you to indulge in an unforgettable dining experience. As you take your seat at the counter, you will notice the wooden chambers on the wall behind the chef. This traditional fridge, where the top room is filled with blocks of ice and the lower compartment stores the fish, helps maintain the ideal moisture for the fish to stay fresh. Endo, the owner and chef, is an experienced chef who has trained at top-class restaurants such as Sushi Mizutani in Ginza and three-star Sushi Saito. He has crafted his own culinary style and has a valuable network of supporters, including Chef Tomoya Kawata of Sazenka, who advised on the selection of world teas, and the owner chef of Unagi Hashimoto, who introduced Endo to their main supplier. Endo's passion for traditional culture and history is evident in the stories he shares about his cuisine, from the ingredients to the tableware. He only stocks sake made in breweries he's personally visited and loves to share his learnings. The restaurant is adorned with a superb collection of unique pieces of Bizen ware and kuronuri black lacquerware from Wajima, which he often changes to match the beauty of the changing seasons. With his attention to detail and passion for sushi, Endo is sure to provide an unforgettable dining experience.
