Sukiyabashi Jiro Nihonbashi

Accessible Jiro experience with exceptional quality

This department store location of the legendary Sukiyabashi Jiro offers an surprisingly approachable way to experience world-class sushi without the intimidation factor of the flagship Ginza location. The omakase at 13,000 yen ($100) delivers transformative sushi with impeccable fish quality and masterful technique. What makes this spot special is the combination of Jiro's exacting standards with a more relaxed atmosphere - no reservations needed, English-friendly service, and reasonable lunch sets starting around 4,000 yen. While purists might debate whether this lives up to the original, the consistent praise for freshness, technique, and value makes it clear this isn't just trading on the name. The fact that they often sell out before closing speaks to both quality and popularity among locals who know good sushi.
