Sukiyabashi Jiro (すきやばし次郎, Sukiyabashi Jirō) is a sushi restaurant in Ginza, Chūō, Tokyo, owned by Jiro Ono. Ono previously operated as the head chef, but stepped aside in favor of his son Yoshikazu Ono in 2023 due to ill health. Sukiyabashi Jiro was the first sushi restaurant to receive three stars from the Michelin Guide. It was removed from the Michelin Guide in November 2019 as it does not receive reservations from the general public, instead requiring reservations to be made through the concierge of a luxury hotel. The restaurant has ten counter seats. Jiro's son Takashi operates a two-star branch in Roppongi Hills in Minato, Tokyo. The French chef Joël Robuchon said that the restaurant was one of his favorites in the world, and that it taught him that sushi is an art. Sukiyabashi Jiro was the subject of the 2011 documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi.
