In this blog post, we will explore the top 5 most expensive sushis in the world and what makes them so special. From unique ingredients to stunning presentation, these sushis are truly a work of art.
First up, we have the Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittata Sushi. Yes, you read that right – this sushi costs $1,000! This masterpiece is a combination of a traditional Japanese egg custard called chawanmushi, caviar, and a whole lobster claw. Talk about decadence!
In this restaurant we can find the world’s most expensive omelet that costs $2,000!
Next on our list is the Golden Sushi. This sushi comes from a restaurant in Tokyo and is made with the finest ingredients, including rare bluefin tuna and Japanese sea bream. What sets it apart, though, is the gold leaf that is sprinkled on top. This sushi is a stunning example of luxury and beauty.
The golden sushi costs $1800 a piece. The sushi chef who created the golden sushi, Angelito Araneta Jr, created it using extravagant ingredients. such as Norwegian salmon, foie gras, wild saffron, and lastly pearls and diamonds that are sprinkled on top of each sushi piece.
Third on our list is the Fugu Sushi, which is made from the infamous pufferfish. The pufferfish contains a toxin that is lethal to humans if not prepared correctly, so only licensed and trained chefs can serve this sushi. The high risk involved in making it, along with the rarity of the fish, makes this sushi cost up to $200 per piece.

Moving on, we have the Ginza Onodera’s Jiro Dreams of Sushi experience. This sushi tasting menu is a tribute to the famous sushi master Jiro Ono and is served in a small, intimate restaurant in New York City. The menu features some of the rarest and most expensive ingredients in the world, including uni (sea urchin) from Hokkaido and toro (fatty tuna) from Tsukiji Market in Tokyo. The price for this culinary experience? A cool $300 per person.
The high-end restaurant in New York City follows the traditional method of preparing their sushi meals. Their Chef’s Selection Course called Kiwami is priced at around USD 450 and includes eight appetisers, nine pieces of seasonal Nigiri (similar to sushi but made with only rice and raw fish and no other extra flavouring) and homemade Tamago (Japanese omelette), miso soup (bean soup) and a dessert.
Last but not least, we have the Sukiyabashi Jiro Sushi. This sushi restaurant, located in Tokyo, has earned three Michelin stars and is known for its impeccable quality and attention to detail. The sushi chef, Jiro Ono, is a legend in the sushi world and has been making sushi for over 70 years. A meal at Sukiyabashi Jiro can cost upwards of $300 per person, but for sushi enthusiasts, it’s worth every penny.
In conclusion, luxury sushi is not just about the price tag – it’s about the unique ingredients, presentation, and cultural significance.
