Araki (restaurant)

Araki (Japanese: あら輝, Hepburn: Araki) was a sushi restaurant operated by Japanese chef Mitsuhiro Araki in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. It received three Michelin stars, the highest possible rating, in 2011.[1] Described as "Japan's most difficult restaurant to make a booking at",[2] it was known for its seafood and for showcasing Japanese culture, with staff members often wearing traditional clothes. The average cost was around ¥62,160 (approximately $400) per person.[3]

The restaurant closed in February 2013, when Araki left for London in preparation for the opening of its successor The Araki in October 2014.[4] The London restaurant also received three Michelin stars, but lost all three in 2020 following Araki's departure for Hong Kong.[3]
