Sukiyabashi Jiro is a renowned sushi restaurant in Tokyo, run by Jiro Ono, a sushi master with decades of experience. This small, humble restaurant has earned three Michelin stars thanks to its commitment to the highest quality ingredients and precise technique. It has only 10 seats, creating an intimate dining experience. Jiro Ono, now in his 90s, is deeply involved in crafting each piece of sushi, known for his dedication to perfecting his craft.

Reservations are hard to come by, and the meal itself is brief but unforgettable. Guests often leave amazed by the balance of flavors and textures, all carefully considered in each piece of sushi. The restaurant focuses on simplicity—Jiro’s philosophy is that the fish, rice, and preparation speak for themselves without unnecessary additions.

It gained global fame after appearing in the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi, which highlighted the restaurant’s excellence. However, the restaurant has been removed from the Michelin Guide as it no longer accepts reservations from the general public, only through hotel concierge services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Traveler reviews

Visited Jiro’s at Nihonbashi Takashimaya main building 7th floor. This is a sister sushi restaurant of the luminous Sukiyabashi Jiro’s of “Jiro dreams of sushi” documentary. The chef has been running this restaurant for 50 years. No reservations are accepted so that you need to come early and wait in queue. Luckily not many people and I was seated right when they opened for lunch at 11am. Sat at sushi bar and ordered Omakase sushi lunch. Plenty of sushi and I was totally satisfied. $100 including tip and tax. Lunch is significantly less expensive than dinner. A good deal. Credit cards are accepted. Great sushi, service and atmosphere.

The fish very fresh, the relics have added a little sugar acidity medium. Better than any of the two fish markets at the same price.

I saw a sign in the Takashimaya that said Sukibayashi Jiro and had to take a look. I had just eaten so I came back the next day at 11am and was seated right away. They had great set options for about 4000-6000 yen but I had to try the omakase at 13,000. As expected the sushi was great and they give you a choice of any additional piece at the end and I chose the uni. Definitely worth visiting.

This place, from service professionalism, from atmosphere, from food quality, is way below Michelin 2 Star level, not even qualified for 1 star. This is my worst Michelin experience among others. Hopefully this restaurant cannot represent Japan sushi level. I will NEVER visit again. See all the bad reviews, all the people are telling the truth.

Found this “secret” location by accident and went to check it out. While we haven’t had the original location in Ginza, this was still a transformative experience for us. They have set options for lunch at very reasonable prices, but must get the omakase for the full experience. It was only about $100usd per person and worth every penny. Every piece was perfect and divine. The best sushi. It was intimidating at first, as we are from New York and know only a handful of words in Japanese. No English menu but just get omakase, easy enough! No reservations needed, seated easily. Super friendly people once we got settled down. Very approachable way to experience Jiro sushi.
