As a sushi worth waiting for a lifetime, Jijiqiao Jiro Ginza in Jiro Ono is a holy place for countless sushi lovers.
Although the entrance hall is small, with no menu, no separate bathroom and only 10 seats, there are nearly 2,000 telephone reservations every month, and few people can make reservations successfully. It is called "one of the most difficult sushi restaurants in Tokyo".
Jiro Ono, 94, is still meticulous about sushi. The strength of good sushi is concentrated on the surface. When Jiro Ono holds sushi fast, it will sink gently when his hand is released. The middle of sushi is soft, and every rice is suspended.
In addition to striving for perfection in the matter of "pinching sushi", Jiro's handling of ingredients is also very subtle.
For example, octopus needs to be rubbed for an hour after purchase, which can destroy the fiber and give play to the softness, elasticity and rich flavor of the meat.
Shrimp processing is more delicate. Generally, sushi restaurants will cook them in advance for use. Jiro asked to cook sushi in a pot before making it, then pour cold water to cool it and make sushi on the spot.
Saotome, the god of tempura, has eaten Jiro Ono sushi more than 5,000 times and spent tens of millions of yen.
He commented that he went to Jiro's shop not only to eat sushi, but also his attitude towards life and aesthetics reflected in sushi. His intentions for fish, rice and life are all concentrated in a small sushi ~

Roppongi Kojiro Roppongi Kojiro Roppongi Kojiro is a branch of Roppongi, a famous Japanese sushi god, and is managed by Nora Shi Jr., the son of Jiro Ono, the sushi god.
The sushi professional who inherited Jiro's mantle got the opportunity to open an independent shop at a young age, and he lived up to his family's reputation. Roppongi Store has maintained Michelin star standard for many years.
Dining in Sushi God Restaurant has strict requirements for diners, including not being late, not interrupting the rhythm, eating 20 dishes in half an hour, not taking photos and not chatting. A set of rules is inevitably daunting.
However, Takashi Xiaoye and his father are completely different styles, and they are extremely cheerful. Before dinner, they will lead their disciples to say hello to everyone, which is very hospitable.
Due to the large number of guests visiting China, Long has specially studied Chinese and can briefly introduce the names of the ingredients of each sushi.
In the process of eating, diners can taste pure Edo sushi in the most comfortable state and feel the fresh sushi jumping on the tip of their tongue without sitting still.

Gao Qiao, the chef of hole cleaning, studied under the sushi god Jiro Ono 12 years.
In 2006, I opened my own shop in Ginza. The signboard of the shop said Sato, the god of tempura! The next year, he won the Michelin two-star honor, and he was the youngest person to keep the star honor for many years.
As far as seasoned vinegar rice is concerned, Gao Qiao Qingkong and Jiro Ono have something in common, but the acidity of Qingkong is low, the taste is tight and breathable, and the entrance is fluffy. Moreover, unlike the sushi god "Jizuji Jijiro Ginza Store" which only provides sushi, the set meal of Clear Sky contains several dishes, which further highlights the exquisite personal style of Clear Sky.
Although Qingkong has long been famous, he personally goes to Tsukiji market to buy the freshest ingredients every morning. Because he hopes that the guests can experience the real taste of seasonal ingredients and best show the charm of fish. In addition to the most common tuna, the small fish and squid in the store are also full of characteristics. Don't miss it!
Tip: Medium fat (medium fat) is distributed in the abdomen and back of tuna and contains moderate fat. The entrance can not only feel the sweetness and softness of fat, but also feel the slightly sour taste of fish.
