\"Sushi1\"<\/a>When you first arrived in Japan you were no doubt asked, possibly on a daily basis, “what Japanese food do you like?” and, knowing\u00a0very little else, your reply would have likely been “sushi”. Of course Japanese food is varied and wondrous, but there is no doubt that sushi is king. But where should you go to get\u00a0really good sushi? There are around\u00a05,000 sushi restaurants in Tokyo alone and it’s tough to choose, particularly as taste in sushi often comes down to\u00a0personal and individual preference. Below we have tried to compile an eclectic list of\u00a0some of the best – known or\u00a0otherwise – sushi bars in the capital.<\/p>\n

Sukiyabashi Jiro<\/h2>\n

Of course we couldn’t start the list without Sukiyakibashi Jiro, perhaps the most famous sushi restaurant in the world. Chef Jiro rose to international attention following the critically acclaimed documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi<\/a>, a movie that documented his quest to perfect the art of sushi. Despite not being held in quite the high regard\u00a0by Japanese as it is by the foreign media, the three Michelin star restaurant is notoriously difficult to get a reservation thanks\u00a0to the disparity between its immense popularity and limited seating spaces.\u00a0As President Obama did when he visited with Prime Minister Abe, having\u00a0a Japanese speaker with you is imperative.<\/p>\n
