Is Sushi Saito worth it for history buffs?

DependsFor history

For history & culture, Sushi Saito is hit or miss.

A tiny counter run by Takashi Saito, prized for impeccable rice and a relaxed, generous mood relative to its rarefied status. It went introduction-only in 2019 (no first-time walk-ins), so a seat is almost impossible without an existing regular or a connected concierge.
