The story

Ginza Nagaoka: Michelin-Selected Omakase in Pasay, Philippines

The Chef and His Craft

At the heart of Ginza Nagaoka is chef Junji Nagaoka, a licensed fugu (pufferfish) specialist—a rare credential even among seasoned sushi chefs. Since 2000, he has honed his skills in luxury hotels across Tokyo, later opening his own restaurant in Ginza before bringing his signature style to the Philippines. He personally selects every ingredient, from the finest seafood to top-quality rice and condiments, ensuring each bite is a study in precision and freshness.

The Experience

Ginza Nagaoka takes inspiration from the bustling sushi joints of Tokyo. The restaurant features an exclusive ten-seat sushi bar, where diners watch chef Nagaoka’s master craftsmanship in real time—a theatrical performance of hand-pressed sushi and sashimi. The menu centers on Edo-mae sushi, the classic Tokyo style, and the omakase experience is a journey through authentic Japanese cuisine. Sophisticated sake and wine pairings complement the meal.

Michelin Recognition

Recently distinguished as a Michelin Selected restaurant, Ginza Nagaoka joins the ranks of the world’s most exceptional dining destinations. The award underscores the restaurant’s commitment to culinary excellence and authenticity, making it a prime destination for sushi lovers in Metro Manila’s Entertainment City.
