Sushi Saito

Tokyo, Japan

• No.33 Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2025

Sushisho Saito offers an intimate, authentic ushi experience at its 10-seat pale hinoki wood counter. After removing their shoes and stepping onto fresh tatami, guests settle among calligraphy depicting peace and comfort: the chief mood of the meal. Chef and founder Toshio Saito's omakase intersperses nigiri with otsumami small plates, creating a rhythm of contrasting textures, temperatures and flavours. Standout bites include Kegani no Temaki: a handroll filled with sweet Hokkaido crab, nigiri of delicately charred kinme snapper brushed with a whisper of soy and aged tuna paired Saito's his signature red-vinegar shari. Each piece is sliced to order with precision and served on elegant ceramic plates chosen by the chef, making the experience as visually refined as it is delicious.
