So elephant in the room, this is a fucking awful time to be posting this lmao. I wanna be clear that I'm not the other dude who made that 3 Star list. This is just a list for all the high end Japanese places since I felt like there wasn't a great like collected resource for them. I've attached a bunch of the shitty photos I took just so you can see I've been to these places, I apologize for text on some of them – I used to upload these to private stories on Instagram for friends and coworkers. Review will be in the comments since it's too long to fit in one thing

Actual Review is mucho texto so here’s the google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lJW30zmznVsR0bXElpMbIPnItMmUnzJ4A6lxWRyIGrE/edit?usp=sharing
I wrote this all on a google doc so like if anyone has an idea how to format this for reddit please let me know, I’ve never done something like this before lol
Tokyo Bay covers a huge area to be able to narrow it down to 18 places. Still, it’s cheaper here than 18 places stateside.
your last post actually inspired me to make a res at yoshizumi – will be checking it out in a few weeks!
Love this post!
Kind of surprised at Ranzan having ramped up flavor. Thought it was the opposite but I’m not a Kaiseki connoisseur.
Thought that Sushi Ai was good for the price. Something to watch. I didn’t have a lot of blowtorching when I went. Maybe one or two things.
Agree on Utzutzu – really didn’t like it. Just a horrible experience.
Thanks for sharing! My opinions align almost identically with yours (although I haven’t visited a few that opened after I left SF in 2020). I always visit The Shota every time I’m back home and look forward to visiting Shoji soon.
There’s a sushi restaurant called Sushi Sho in El Cerrito(no relation to the other ones).
been a while but I thought the chef was pretty good. Would like your thoughts if you ever get a chance to go
