Ginza Restaurant Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

In Tokyo, Japan, the Ginza district is famous for busy pedestrian streets, luxury shopping, elegant dining and fun entertainment. Now open in Massapequa, New York, Ginza restaurant brings authentic Japanese food and style to Long Island.

The transformation of the nearly 5,400 square foot building was led by interior architects Horst Design International of Cold Spring Harbor.   Ginza translated means “silver mint” and the exterior of the building is adorned with polished stainless steel panels and boasts a dramatic two-story entryway with cascading aluminum chains.  The entryway leads customers to a Manhattan-like bar and lounge with hanging black lacquered egg-shaped chairs inviting guests to climb inside their crimson red upholstered interiors. 

In addition to the bar/lounge area, Ginza’s interior also includes a sushi bar, main dining room, private booth seating and a secondary dining area that can also be used for a private event.  Life-size ancient terracotta warriors are on display throughout the space, adding accents of traditional Asian themes to the clean, modern design.  Furthering the theme, displayed on the walls are black and white oversized photographs of the famed Ginza district, including one of Sukiyabashi Crossing, which also inspired the design of the Ginza restaurant logo.
