Japan Sushi Gourmet sits on the ground floor of Karlstraße 56 in Munich, behind a 12-seat counter that is the entire room — there is no private room, and seating is counter-only. Chef Toshio Sugiura, who trained under Jiro Ono, runs a 10-course Edomae omakase in a style that follows classical Tokyo technique rather than local adaptation.
The restaurant holds two Michelin stars and is listed in the Michelin Guide. Dinner omakase runs 150 USD per person, with lunch available separately at 100 USD; a sake pairing can be added for 30 USD. Seatings last 90 minutes, and the menu is available in English, which makes the counter accessible to non-German speakers. Dress code is smart casual.
Service runs most days from 11:00 to 15:00 and again from 16:00 to 21:30, Monday through Saturday; the restaurant is closed Sundays. Reservations are handled through Tock, and the restaurant is known to book out roughly a month in advance — difficulty is rated hard, so early planning matters. Credit cards are accepted; this is not a cash-only operation.
For visitors weighing lunch against dinner, the lunch omakase offers the same counter and chef at a lower price point and shorter list of courses, though the full 10-course lineup is the dinner service. Given the limited 12 seats and one-month booking window typical for Tock releases here, securing a specific date usually means reserving as soon as the calendar opens.
