In rare cases, the restaurant is so exclusive that an introduction is required from one of their patrons. If you want a hassle-free way to reserve a sushi restaurant in Japan, one of the best options is to make a reservation using an online service. There are a few online options that help foreign travelers to make a reservation, such as platforms like byFood, which offers unparalleled support in making reservations in Japan.

ByFood will contact the restaurant on your behalf and send you an email telling you if your reservation has been confirmed or not.
Is a reservation required for sushi restaurants in Japan?
This depends on the type of sushi restaurant. Some casual sushi restaurants or conveyor belt sushi restaurants do not require a reservation, or in some cases do not allow it. Other sushi restaurants in Japan like those that offer high-end omakase sushi services or Michelin-starred restaurants always require a reservation.
