During our honeymoon in Japan, my wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Sushi Hajime in Tokyo, and it was hands down the best sushi and omakase experience we’ve ever had. Having enjoyed multiple omakases in Miami, nothing compared to the simplicity and exceptional quality of the fish at Sushi Hajime. Every dish was a work of art, not only in taste but in presentation as well, and watching the chef expertly prepare each piece was a delight. Despite primarily speaking Japanese, the chef took the time to explain every dish with warmth and genuine care, making our experience even more memorable. The service was equally impressive. The staff was incredibly attentive, even noticing that my wife is left-handed and adjusting her plate accordingly. They ensured our drinks were always topped up and our tea remained at the perfect temperature throughout the meal. Overall, Sushi Hajime provided us with an unparalleled dining experience that we will cherish forever. We wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Tokyo!

Easy reservation experience: The Omakase course was paid upfront, and we only had to pay for drinks we ordered in addition to the meal at the restaurant. The Omakase course itself was memorable; there wasn't a written menu of what was included, but we felt that what was served was very fresh and unique. They made great recommendations for sake pairing. We had no trouble communicating with staff in English.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to reserve restaurants in Japan?

You can make a reservation at a restaurant in Japan by direct phone call to the restaurant, or in some cases via direct reservation on their website if available. There also are some online reservation platforms but they are often in Japanese, like the restaurant’s website. To avoid the issue of language barriers and time differences, you can place your reservation through a secure platform that helps foreigners to make online reservations, such as byFood. You can use byFood to add filters and narrow down restaurants in Japan, to match the location and food type you are looking for. All you have to do is head to your desired restaurant page and enter your reservation details. If your reservation is successful, you will receive an email confirmation and have your reservation made on your behalf. In the event that the reservation was not successful, you will receive a failed reservation email notification.

Is a reservation required for restaurants in Japan?

Not all restaurants in Japan require a reservation but there are many that do, so this depends on the restaurant. Popular or high-end restaurants generally require a reservation and tend to be totally booked a few months ahead. Some more casual restaurants, bars, and cafes do not require a booking, however if you are with a big group it can be a good idea. Some restaurants like ramen restaurants and izakaya gastropubs do not allow reservations ahead of time.

What is the average cost of a meal at restaurants in Japan?

This depends on the type of restaurant but on average a meal at restaurants in Japan will cost somewhere between 800 yen and 3000 yen for one dish or set meal. More high-class restaurants can start from anywhere between 4000 and 10,000 yen per meal, with more being charged for dinner.
