The style of sushi felt dated. Only the Tuna and the katsuo were impressive.
On the same trip I visited Inomata (though its way further away, but at roughly the same price point). To be honest I enjoyed that a lot more. Maybe I just didnt have the palate to enjoy this.
No photos to share because they didn't allow photography.

I've eaten a lot of sushi in Japan and Sawada is probably the most religious experience I've had. The flavors are rustic and punchy, and the course is quite large. You will likely walk away stuffed and needing to chug some water.
There's reason this remains one of the top ranked sushiya in Japan, even after 20 years.

No photo policies so just the famous entrance.

1. Booking is via hotel concierge only
2. No picture allowed of any kind
3. No perfumes allowed
4. Dress codes, not as strict but business casual is a must.
Besides that, the owner is really friendly if he recognize you as a foodie, brings you best fish from all over the world. The atmosphere was quite relaxing as least to me.
Just ignore your phone and follow the chef's way to this sushi gourmet journey!

The sushi IS AMAZING, no question. The precision of the chef and the quality of the fish make for a truly unique experience.
For the moronic people leaving one star rating because they couldn't get a reservation, know this.
The restaurant seats 6 people and this place is extremely popular with the local Japanese people as well as tourists.
Unfortunately there is an element of luck involved.
I asked my hotel to make the reservation. I was flexible and made myself available according to their availability.
