You can’t get a booking at the “Honten” original one if there is nobody speaking Japanese in your party. Which is supposed to be the best sushi experience in the world. They opened this branch, with the son as the chef, for foreigners like me. I went for lunch, and had no booking as I did not plan anything for that day but my concierge found me a seat very easily. I was actually ALONE. Which should be awesome but when you’re alone yourself, is just a bit weird. The fish was great but the young chef’s technique lacked the precision - the perfection - of Mizutani-san’s the day before. It was a very quick meal, of an amazing quality, but I would recommend you to go to Mizutani rather than here, for a more quintessential Tokyo experience, if you’re looking for sushi only omakase. I don’t like to compare restaurants but in my humble opinion, Mizutani is better. It has one more star after all!
