Went there in 2013, remember booking for 6pm when it was just my wife and I at the restaurant, and enjoyed the personal service from the old man. The reservation was booked a month in advance through the hotel.

I still count myself as a sushi fan, and the day before I went there, I also booked Mizutani (which was also a 3-star Michelin at the time, and the old man's apprentice), thinking that I'd eaten the apprentice's and then the master's, so I wanted to see how godly the legendary god of sushi was.

In that Ginza inconspicuous basement to find his store, found the door someone is taking pictures, but was a small master to drive away, asked for a reservation, into the door was as if by the eldest son glared at me, probably because I was wearing a T-shirt.

Without saying a word, sit down to eat, the little master took the day of the Japanese and English menu for us to see, anyway, there is no choice.

The oldest son cut the fish inside, and the old man was in charge of the pinch.

The old man didn't have much of an expression at first, so I smiled and said to him, "You're more handsome than in the movie," and he pointed to the hearing aid in his ear and waved his hand at me, so I said it again to the little master next to me, who conveyed it to the old man and laughed. My Japanese is average, so just basically eat consistently say a sentence, the old man is also very polite and simple answer.

I didn't take any pictures because I didn't want to spoil the atmosphere and enjoy the meal. Every consistently really good, the ingredients and his disciple Mizutani 90% similar (may also be seasonal relationship), but every consistently a little bit better than Mizutani's, think this little difference, may be the gap between the masters and the gods. The vinegar flavor of the rice, the temperature and the fish, I think I can't think of any other word to describe it other than perfect.
