Sushi Saito

Chef Takashi Saito's 3-Michelin-star counter in Ark Hills is the most notoriously difficult reservation in the world — walk-in impossible, waitlist stretching years, and bookings available only through personal introduction. Saito's rice, seasoned with a unique blend of three vinegars, is considered by many sushi devotees to be the finest in Tokyo, outperforming even Sukiyabashi Jiro's rice in texture and flavor. The omakase here costs $200 less than Jiro's, and only 10 seats are available per service, making it more exclusive.
