The room is smaller and less theatrical than its reputation suggests — ten seats at a cypress counter, no menu, no small talk that isn't initiated by the chef. What distinguishes the Roppongi branch is pacing: courses arrive with less urgency than the original counter's famous fifteen-minute meal, giving diners room to actually taste the vinegar-to-rice ratio shift between pieces. This is technique-forward sushi that rewards attention and punishes distraction. ## Menu highlights - **Omakase Sushi Course** ¥33,000 *20 pieces, chef's selection, nigiri only* - **Akami, Chutoro, Otoro Progression** Included in course *Three cuts of the same tuna loin, aged in-house* - **Kohada (Gizzard Shad)** Included in course *Vinegar-cured to the day's fish, the house benchmark piece* Rating transparency **FlightLogic expert score: 9.2/10.** Star ratings on this page are editorial composites from named FlightLogic research — not aggregated consumer submissions — unless individually marked as verified below.

[Review integrity policy](https://flightlogic.co.uk/review-integrity/) 1. ★★★★★ 5.0 Editorial sample The kohada alone justifies the reservation fight — cured tighter than anywhere else I've eaten in Tokyo, and the rice is still warm against it. No wasted words from the chef, no wasted motion either. — Daniel Whitfield · 14 March 2026 Response from Sukiyabashi Jiro Roppongi Branch Thank you for noticing the kohada — it is the piece we adjust most by the day's catch. 2. ★★★★☆ 4.0 Editorial sample Excellent technique and the otoro was the best I've had this year, but the room itself is stark and the pace felt rushed compared to what I expected from the name. — Naomi Sato · 2 February 2026 ## Submit a verified dining review Consumer reviews require on-site geolocation verification or transaction proof before publication.

Reservations open two months ahead and the ten-seat counter fills within days, especially for weekday lunch. Hotel concierge lines and a landline call on the release date are still the most reliable routes; same-week availability is rare. ### Is this the same Jiro seen in "Jiro Dreams of Sushi"? This Roppongi counter is a branch of the restaurant made famous by the documentary, operating under the same name and lineage, distinct from the original Ginza location. It holds its own Two MICHELIN Star distinction. ## Visit info ### Hours **Monday** 11:30–13:30, 17:00–20:00 **Tuesday** 11:30–13:30, 17:00–20:00 **Wednesday** 11:30–13:30, 17:00–20:00 **Thursday** 11:30–13:30, 17:00–20:00 **Friday** 11:30–13:30, 17:00–20:00 **Saturday** Closed **Sunday** Closed ### Features - Reservations accepted Last updated: 1 July 2026 ## Location ## More in Tokyo
