Sushi Yu

This place annoyed me from the get go with their we got a Michelin so now can dictate the type of guests we will serve, including insisting that a gaijin make a reservation through my hotel after I stopped by one evening to inquire about the following week. There are a lot of other great sushi pla...ces in the area so I would recommend places with a bit more history and reputation like Sushi Kan, the other Sushi Yuu, and a couple of places in Nishi Azabu before I would end up at this place. Only one year old and probably won’t last the 2020s.

Must go. This was hands down one of the best meals I've had in my life. The chefs were extremely creative and handled food allergies VERY well (gluten, shellfish and pork). They also came up with additional dishes to compensate for the dishes we couldn't have, instead of other chefs who just have yo...u skip that course. Our chefs spoke some English too which helped and made the experience so much fun and not stuffy at all. Highly, highly recommend. Very expensive though. Dinner + drinks for two was around $600 USD.

Seriously. We were recommended this by friends of ours and we could not be happier that we took the recommendation. There’s no menu, you get what you get and you don’t get upset. But, everything is without a doubt, “the best”, so it’s perfect.

It’s not unusual you see micheline stars decorated Japanese restaurant everywhere here in Tokyo. But to find a great Michelin and felt totally welcomed Is another story. Ozaki San obviously is the master of nigiri. Judging by their catering the most minute detail i know that I am in good hand. They ...know fish, they know traditional way of preparation and they have open mind to adapt to new creation. We truly enjoyed our dinner there.

For my first trip to Tokyo, I enlisted the help of some very well informed Japanese friends and friends of friends. The only reason I, being non-Japanese and non-Japanese speaking, I could get a reservation was because of these high end connections. Sushi Yu is located in the Blade Runner-ish lookin...g Roppongi Hills part of Tokyo in a nondescript basement location that was hidden from site. The menu is of course omakase style and composed of numerous small bites of the best seafood and shellfish it is possible to eat, served right into your hand from the chef. The dining clientele seemed to be composed of ageing famous Japanese rock stars and TV actors, and the chefs chefs were patient, and despite the lack of English, very accommodating. I look forward to my next visit impatiently. The omakase menu with a few drinks came to the equivalent of about 300 Euros for two.
