Sukiyabashi Jiro

Master chef Jiro Ono has helmed this legendary 10-seat sushi counter in Ginza for over 75 years, earning 3 Michelin stars and a visit from President Obama in 2014. Jiro Ono, now in his late 90s, is widely regarded as the greatest sushi chef alive, with a 20-course omakase that costs over $300 per person and a reservation waitlist measured in months. Compared to Ryugin's 14-course tasting menu at about $350, Jiro offers a more intimate, traditional experience, and its omakase is 30% more expensive than the average Michelin three-star sushi dinner in Tokyo.
