Sushi AO in Omotesando, Tokyo, offers a unique dining experience under the guidance of a chef with an impressive background, having honed his skills at the renowned Sukiyabashi Jiro before establishing his own sushi haven. This pedigree suggests an intimate acquaintance with the art of sushi, promising an authentic and refined culinary journey. The restaurant itself is a testament to minimalist elegance, featuring counter seating that allows diners to witness the chef's meticulous preparation up close. With lunch and dinner courses that start at 23,000 Yen and 27,500 Yen respectively, excluding tax, the pricing reflects the premium quality and service offered. Despite mixed reviews, with some diners noting particular highlights like generous portions of uni and outstanding katsuo and kuruma ebi, the experience at Sushi AO is a reflection of the chef's dedication to his craft and the rich tradition of Japanese sushi.

The highlight of a meal at Sushi AO, as shared by visitors, particularly emphasizes the exceptional quality of the tuna nigiri pieces and the katsuo (skipjack tuna). The tuna nigiri, known for its melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich flavor, stands out as a testament to the chef’s expertise in selecting and preparing seafood. Similarly, the katsuo, celebrated for its smoky flavor and delicate texture, reflects the meticulous care and tradition embedded in the sushi-making process. Less
