If you've seen the documentary "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" You will be surprised to see that Ono-san (Jiro) restaurant, Sukiyabashi Jiro is not included in our list.
While Ono-san is a living legend in the world of sushi, it is widely agreed by sushi connoisseurs today that it in-a-lifetime once-sushi meal to enjoy better places in Tokyo a.
although the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe saw fit US President Barack Obama treat to lunch here, it is important to note that - despite the 3 Michelin stars and popularity in the Western media -. among Japanese restaurants, Jiro has business rank usually not at the top in the ranking of Tokyo's best sushi restaurants
