Of course, sushi is good at Sushi Jiro, but will it blow you away? Unfortunately, nothing can live up to the expectations that have been placed upon it. Expect an omakase-style menu where you get 20 pieces of fish and melon for dessert. Because Sushi Jiro is famous for its high-quality sushi, every piece of sushi served is likely to be the best piece of sushi you’ve ever had.
That said, the hype surrounding Sushi Jiro can sometimes threaten to eclipse the restaurant. Sushi Jiro has received three Michelin stars. Barack Obama ate here. Anthony Bourdain thought it was incredible. They even made an entire documentary called Jiro Dreams of Sushi that tells the background of Jiro and why people think of him as the best sushi chef in Tokyo. As a result, it is definitely a victim of unobtainable expectations.
