Sukiyabashi Jiro - Kawasaki

Thanks to the concierge at the Mandarin Oriental for arranging our visit here. I was so excited to try Sukiyabashi Jiro after watching the movie and I can say it lives up to it's expectations. The food was brilliant. You can taste the freshness in each bite and the love and care that has been put into it. Was pleased that I was able to dine here!

What can be said? It's the best sushi on earth but you pay for it...

Went there for lunch. Definitely super delicious sushi! Had to make reservations 4 months in advance. Quite pricey but well worth it. Bought some souvenirs too. Looking forward to having dinner here soon

Flew from NYC just to eat at Jiro's and was not disappointed. Incredible experience and the best sushi I've ever eaten.

For reservations, it is recommended to have your hotel concierge book ahead several weeks. The timing of the meal is quick, with the whole experience lasting about 15 minutes. It is recommended to eat the pieces of sushi as soon as they are placed in front of you, as the chef will adjust the pace based on how fast you eat. The waitress speaks English well and guides you through the different types of fish used in the dishes. Although Jiro still works hard, his son seems to be running the show and putting in a lot of work. Reviews of the restaurant are varied, but some facts remain true: it is near the subway, close to toilets, small in size, and not cheap. The meal is served quickly, with patrons expected to gobble up the 19 pieces promptly. The atmosphere is austere, allowing you to observe master artists at work. The dress code suggests avoiding heavy perfume or clothing that could disturb other guests. The focus is on enjoying and appreciating the hard work put into each dish. The star of the show is the food itself, with minimal interaction from the staff to ensure you have a seamless dining experience. Overall, the food was delicious and the experience unique, leaving it up to each individual to determine if it is worth the visit.
