Raw Footage: Obama Dines at $300 Dollar Underground Sushi Restaurant in Japan

Obama Is Eating At The Legendary 'Jiro Dreams Of Sushi' Restaurant (Business Insider)

On the first day of President Barack Obama's trip to Asia, he and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe dined at a legendary sushi restaurant made famous by a 2011 documentary. 

The restaurant, Sukiyabashi Jiro, earned a rare three-star Michelin rating, which means it has "exceptional cuisine" and is "worth a special journey."

It is one of 13 three-star restaurants in Tokyo, and there are only 10 seats. That combination makes it especially hard to secure reservations. In early April the restaurant was already fully booked until the beginning of May.
