"The sushi restaurant made famous by the 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi' documentary, renowned for its obsessive craftsmanship and reputation as an elite, must-see sushi experience." - Yukari Sakamoto
"Jiro Dreams of Sushi. In a novel approach for the time, Jiro took a Planet Earth-inspired eye to shots of hands slicing fish and forming sushi. With it, director David Gelb changed not only how we watch food in the United States, but also how we eat. The award-winning Jiro turned its namesake Jiro Ono into a global phenomenon, making reservations at Sukiyabashi Jiro a hot commodity." - Eater Staff
"Sushi Dreams offers an unrivaled sushi experience with its unique blend of traditional techniques and modern flavors." - Kat Odell
"A highly sought-after restaurant in Tokyo known from 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi' that is very difficult to get a reservation for."
"At one point while filming Jiro Dreams of Sushi, the decade-old documentary about master sushi chef Jiro Ono and his three-Michelin-starred restaurant Sukiyabashi Jiro, the camera’s focus wasn’t quite sharp enough on a prepared piece of tuna. “So I asked Jiro, ‘Can you put that piece of sushi down again?’” director David Gelb recalled in an interview in 2012. “He said, ‘No, that’s not the same piece of sushi. The sushi has passed its prime. The color and texture of it have now changed because it has already been served.’” Even 10 years later, and in the annals of memory, this is what stands out about Jiro: Ono’s absolute devotion to ensuring every element of every piece of sushi was nothing less than perfect." - Bettina Makalintal
