Perhaps Japan’s most cost-effective premium sushi experience operates weekend-only with an unusual reservation system. Saturday and holiday exclusive, this 75-minute feast (men ¥4,500, women ¥4,000) centers on unlimited otoro—the king of sushi toppings. Multiple sushi chefs ensure lightning-fast service, with orders arriving within minutes.
