I had a fantastic experience at Sushi Mitsuyoshi. Everything I ate was delicious and carefully prepared. The chef was extremely kind and even though I have little Japanese language knowledge the staff went out of their way to make me feel welcomed. I can’t wait to come back.

Very tasty unique selections of fish and seafood in a bright welcoming atmosphere.

Sushidokoro Hitoshi

Restaurant in Hiroshima

Very good sushi. The sake pairing was good. We had a good time there.

Wonderful food, homey atmosphere- great!

Myself and my partner attended the omakase dinner with saki paring. We had booked this in advance. Though recently found out my partner is pregnant, which after an email sent, was accommodated to a high standard. My partner did not at all feel left out and the menu provided for her was arguably better than mine :). She was also given non alcoholic drinks to pair, which I thought was a nice touch. Myself, was very impressed with the course I was provided. Informative and tasty. I could only fault that perhaps my eyes were bigger than my stomach. Sake pairing was also on point, and origins etc were explained. We both walked out full and happy. I would recommend to fast before dinner as there is a lot of food to be had. :)

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.
