Sukiyabashi Jiro

You'd be familiar with Sukiyabashi Jiro, the world's most renowned sushi restaurant.
Due to its highly unique serving style, where meals are completed within 30 minutes or less, Sukiyabashi Jiro is occasionally joked about as the "world's most expensive fast food restaurant."

Sushi restaurants, once frequented like people would an izakaya (casual bar / diner), has once again come into the limelight as an esteemed dining venue upholding traditions from the Edo period, all thanks to the presence of this very establishment.

One could say it's the top restaurant in Japan deserving of the utmost respect.

Jiro Ono, often referred to as the "sushi god", is currently (at 2024) 99 years old. Witnessing him actively crafting sushi behind the counter, even at his age, one can't help but feel that the title of "god" is not an exaggeration.

The bluefin tuna here, sourced from top-notch suppliers like Fujita Shoten, is undoubtedly exceptional. But it's not just that
-the incredibly tender white fish, the sharp acidity that still shines through after the Japanese sardine has been gently marinated in vinegar, the abalone served warm and bursting with flavor, the octopus with its satisfying chew, the perfectly grilled bonito over charcoal, and more. Among the many sushi restaurants out there, the quality you'll find at Sukiyabashi Jiro is truly unparalleled.

If you're a sushi lover, Table-EX strongly recommends making a visit here at least once in your lifetime.

Witnessing Jiro Ono, a living legend, crafting sushi is truly an experience worth cherishing.
