I’ve been reading some of the responses where people don’t understand the high cost of eating Sushi made by this extraordinary man. For one to become a Certified Sushi Chef you need to study under a Sushi Master. It’s a lifetime study where you’re constantly learning. It’s obvious people think that you go to a school and learn everything in say a 4 year period. If only it were that simple. Unless you know what’s involved in the process to become a Great Sushi Chef you could never appreciate the Mastery involved. I would happily pay $400 dollars to be served Sushi by this legendary Chef. The reason, because I know I’m getting the very best fresh Sushi possible. Understand, it’s an Act form.

Utter nonsense. Japan is filled with high quality sushi at much affordable prices. It’s not like the US. What you are paying for in Tokyo for supposed high end sushi is where the sushi chef trained and in this case by his dad. Sushi omakase prices in Japan are based much more so on the pedigree of the chef….doesn’t equate to the best sushi.
