My wife and I had one night in Tokyo in our travels and made a reservation at Sushi Korin. Our flight was delayed and we had to miss our reservation. We notified the restaurant that we would miss our reservation and Chef Masatomo responded with one of the most remarkable acts of service and kindness we have experienced from a restaurant. Chef Masatomo, his wife Aiko, and one of their staff members hand delivered our sushi to us at 1 a.m. at our hotel near the HND airport. The sushi was phenomenal and this has become one of our most memorable and shared stories from our travels.
Additionally, my wife and I unable to eat gluten which makes an omakase style sushi meal quite difficult. Chef Masatomo went above and beyond to ensure our sushi was delicious and safe for us to eat.
We cannot thank Chef Masatomo, Aiko, and the staff at Sushi Korin enough. We will certainly return (and this time to the actual restaurant) next time we are in Tokyo!
