Some say that Sushi Mizutani is the best in Tokyo, while Hachiro Mizutani san is one of the best sushi masters in Japan. And if one can rate sushi places with stars that were first meant to rate French cuisine, Sushi Mizutani together with Sukiyabashi Jiro are the only sushi…

I am in my favourite city in the world and my first dinner here was at Ukai-tei Ginza , teppanyaki restaurant in Ginza. Needless to say the “super top quality” beefsteak was a reminder that the Japanese have the best beef in the world…
