Ginza Sushi Ichi

One of the two Michelin-affiliated sushi restaurants in Thailand, Ginza Sushi Ichi offers a dining experience that comes with a hefty price tag. Under the tutelage of much-revered head chef Masakazu Ishibashi, the sushi chefs at this outpost have paid their dues at the one-Michelin-star mother branch in Tokyo. Paying up to B10,000 for an omakase (sushi chef’s table) meal may seem ridiculous at first, but take these into consideration: they fly in freshly caught ingredients on a daily basis and are on a chummy basis with chef Ishibashi, who comes to Bangkok once every quarter. If you think about it, you are paying for a Michelin-starred meal without having to fly all the way to Tokyo.
