A famed Tokyo sushi restaurant has been dropped from the Michelin gourmet guide after it stopped accepting reservations from the general public.

The first sushi restaurant to receive 3 Michelin stars, Sukiyabashi Jiro, has hosted names including Hugh jackman and Barack Obama, and the chef’s selection starts at $541 Australian dollars. 

The owners of the 10 seat restaurant say they do not plan on expanding and take pride in their exclusivity.
