However, since 2008, Michelin 3-star's "sushi Jiro" sushi shop has not been selected this year. Asahi Shimbun said that because the store does not accept the reservation of ordinary customers, it is not qualified for selection.
According to a previous report, 'kiyoshibashi Jiro' was founded in 1965 by Jiro Ono, 94, who is known as Japan's' God of sushi '. The store has been ranked Michelin 3-star in the Tokyo Michelin guide since 2008. It is reported that the restaurant has only 10 seats and only one dish on the menu, that is, '30000 yen all inclusive package' (about 1828 yuan), but the restaurant is considered to be a Japanese sushi restaurant with 'the best sushi service in the world'. On April 23, 2014, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and then US President Barack Obama had dinner here.
On April 23, 2014, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe took Obama to kiyohashi Jiro sushi restaurant in Ginza for dinner.
However, this year, the store announced on its official website that due to too few seats in the store, the store no longer accepts general telephone reservations, and foreign tourists can only make reservations through the concierge department of the hotel.
The report that the God of sushi was picked by Michelin has also attracted the attention of Japanese netizens, but netizens have different views.
Some netizens said that the 'God of sushi' who does not pay attention to 'ordinary customers' may greatly reduce the traffic.
"Now they can only do business as regular customers. They should not find any new customers."
'no matter how delicious the food is, if ordinary customers can't evaluate it, even Michelin's reputation will be damaged.'
Some netizens ridiculed that 'jijijiro's shop' has become 'Jiro's shop without stars'.
'now the store name becomes & lsquo; There is no star Jiro store & rsquo; 'yes'.
But some netizens said that for the store, being 'star picked' by Michelin may also be a good thing.
'This is & lsquo; Michelin 3-star ’ The troublesome guests attracted by the name won't come. The store should be very happy. "
However, some netizens said that Michelin restaurant did not serve 'ordinary customers' originally.
'because it is a restaurant selected by Michelin company, it is natural not to let ordinary customers make an appointment. This is a very serious reason. However, even if the star is picked, & lsquo; Sushi God & rsquo; There will be no decline in the value of
'reservations from ordinary guests are not accepted. I think it's a good reason. It's not a restaurant that everyone can go to. There's no way.
