What travelers say:
Each Japanese chef has a different style. I've eaten at several restaurants before, but I personally think this one is delicious and special. The environment is good. The location is large, so you need to make an appointment in advance. Sitting at the bar allows you to watch the chef make sushi, which is a visual enjoyment. The ingredients are very fresh, especially the sea urchin, which is very delicious. The environment of the whole restaurant is very quiet.

Sushi is a traditional Japanese food. In ancient times, sushi was salted fish marinated with salt and rice, which later evolved into the sushi we know today. "Sushi" was written as "鮨" (すし) in ancient Japan, which originally meant "salted fish". The name "sushi" is the Manyo-gana writing of the word "鮨". The foreign name is sushi or zushi. Finally, I have to say that Saito sushi is really great!
I love sushi so much. When I go to Tokyo, I must try this sushi restaurant. There are many choices, including many unique sushi. I like shellfish sushi the most. It is very fresh, sweet and delicious, and chewy. I recommend it.
There are too many highlights at Sushi Saito. In short, if I have to pick a disadvantage, it is the difficulty of making a reservation. However, the difficulty of making a reservation says it all. This store has a very small front and only 7 seats inside, so it is super difficult to make a reservation! If you are lucky enough to make a reservation, you can enjoy the craftsmanship of Chef Saito while tasting Japan's top sushi.
The restaurant is not easy to find. The specific location is 1-4-5 Akhiruzu Sausage Tower, Roppongi, Minato District. You need to be led by a local to arrive quickly. It was more convenient to take a friend's car when I went there. "Sushi Saitou" is also a famous restaurant ranked in the top ten on the "Japanese version of Food Log". Here you can taste the sushi that can be called a work of art made by sushi craftsmen, which is a very luxurious enjoyment. The freshly made hand-made sushi has a wonderful taste that melts in your mouth. The decoration here is very particular. The decoration is better and it feels great to sit inside. The space design inside is very large, and there is no feeling of discomfort when sitting inside. In addition, the service is very good, and it feels like God. The dishes are all like that, and they are very particular about the dishes. Whether it is the dish plating, they are very artistic. The first condition for their selection of ingredients is freshness, very fresh. It must taste good. This is your best choice.
The location of this star-rated restaurant is relatively hidden. It happened to be raining on the day I went there. It took me a while to find it after wandering around. I was already late when I arrived. The restaurant's phone had already been called to the landlord who helped us make an appointment. I was a little nervous whether we would be turned away. Fortunately, the store received us warmly and we apologized for being late. After we sat down, sushi was made for us very quickly. It is more appropriate to say that we came to watch a live and super close-up special show rather than to eat sushi. There were only five diners in total, and there were five sushi chefs, who were also the bosses, to entertain us. On average, they served one-on-one, so I don't need to say much about the price. If you look at the cost-effectiveness, it has surpassed the star-rated French cuisine. The ingredients are determined by the store, so there will definitely be some that you like and some that you don't like, so if you are not a real sushi fan or you are only used to eating Chinese sushi, then you should stay away. But whether you like the selection of ingredients or not, his selection of ingredients is indeed top-notch, and the taste and texture of the meat are impeccable. Especially their homemade smoked tuna (Figure 1) is a must. The unique smoked aroma, sweet fish and slightly sour rice make me linger. I couldn't help but add another piece to the super full 15-piece sushi set. After eating, I still wanted to eat, but my stomach had already sent a strong signal of rejection. Fortunately, their sushi rice is sour, so after a round of playing, the feeling of fullness soon disappeared (this is a later story). In fact, I don't like this kind of high-end sushi restaurant too much, because the atmosphere is too cramped, and there is very little communication during the process. Because it is too quiet, we are embarrassed to talk to each other, and we just eat in silence. Although the chef talked to us after the meal, it is difficult to break this preconceived impression. The owner of this restaurant can communicate in English, and his assistant speaks English very well, so he will explain every piece of sushi on the table, so it can be regarded as a high-end sushi class. The service in Japanese restaurants is really good, and every detail will be handled very considerately, very heartwarming!
This is a very popular sushi restaurant at the moment, and the owner is known as the best sushi maker right now. The area inside is very small, and can probably seat six or seven tables, so the service is quite good, and everything is freshly made and eaten, and the food is pretty good.
