Sushi Jiro's [luxe sushi course](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kura-reserve) is upscale and indulgent, costing patrons $366 per person. Unlike most traditional sushi lunches, this meal is made by the Japanese restaurant's founder and in-house team of seafood artisans.

Seating just 10 people, Sushi Jiro's [exclusive dining space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omakase-restaurant) blends great taste with an experience foodies will remember for a lifetime. The restaurant is run by founder Sukiyabashi Jiro -- of 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi' documentary fame -- and includes menu items that are specially curated by the master himself.

The sushi chef not only picks out exactly what's on visitors' menus but also ensures that his [seafood creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-poke-bowl) are crafted with the utmost quality and the freshest ingredients that money can buy.
