I tried hard last time I was in Tokyo and realized that it was impossible for the normal anonymous diner to eat there. It is virtually impossible for the normal diner (99% of us, meaning the anonymous diners) to score a seat at Saito. As for Sushi Amane in NYC, it was awarded with 1 Michelin star. Master Takashi Saito’s mini empire consists of his own 3 star Michelin in Tokyo, Taka by Sushi Saito in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as well his 2 star Michelin sushiya in Hong Kong. Just to give you an idea of how highly praised Sushi Saito is: the Sushi shops of the legendary Jiro and his son are rated with a 4.11 over 5 score on Tabelog. Master Takashi Saito is known, in the elite circles of sushi connoisseurs, as one of the best Sushi Masters of Tokyo, if not the best, his Sushi shop being the highest rated on the Local Japanese database of restaurant reviews Tabelog with a whooping 4.69 over 5 (which is, considering the high standards of the demanding Local Japanese clientele a close-to-perfect score). Sushi Amane’s Chef (Chef Shion Uino) was working for more than 8 years at 3 star Michelin Sushi Saito (of Master Takashi Saito) in Tokyo, before deciding to move to New York city and man his own Sushiya. Sushi Amane was one of the most anticipated restaurant opening of the recent years in NYC because of its connection to Sushi Saito in Tokyo (more to come about this, in the following lines).
