Hayato, a renowned sushiya, offers an exceptional dining experience worth the hype and reputation. With limited seating and only one serving per night at 6:30 PM, the restaurant requires advance reservations often booked months in advance. Seating is only for 7 people a night, making reservations very difficult to secure.
The multi-course menu showcases the chef's expertise, as they personally prepare and serve each dish, explaining the unique ingredients and preparation methods. Diners can enjoy dishes like the Snow Crab Tofu and Black Cod Saiko Yaki, which are highly recommended. The sushi is praised as unparalleled, with each course beautifully plated and served on custom-made ceramics or antique porcelain.
The restaurant's intimate setting and attentive service contribute to the overall experience, making it feel both comfortable and personal. Guests have the opportunity to witness the culinary team's precision and artistry firsthand, creating a truly immersive and memorable experience. The food is fresh and cooked in a way that enhances its natural flavors, with ingredients varying by season.
While the dining experience at Hayato is undoubtedly expensive, it is considered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those who can secure a reservation. The authentic and exceptional quality of the food, coupled with the impeccable service and attention to detail, make Hayato a must-visit destination for discerning diners.
