Is Sukiyabashi Jiro (Honten) worth it for foodies?
Worth itFor food
For food & drink, Sukiyabashi Jiro (Honten) delivers.
Ten seats, no menu, omakase only — a near-silent, ferociously precise ritual over in well under an hour. The Ginza honten stopped taking public reservations around 2019 (and was dropped from the Michelin guide for that reason), so for most travelers this is a pilgrimage you admire from outside; the realistic seat is Sukiyabashi Jiro Roppongi, run by Jiro's second son Takashi.
Price
Very expensive (set omakase, tens of thousands of yen per person)
