SUSHI IN ASAKUSA, TOKYO
Japanese tends to be patient to wait on long queue for tender sushi in Tsukiji Fish Market. But someone who wish not to wait 2 hours to taste best-sushi-ever-in-your-life at Sushi-Dai (quality 10 price 10), you may taste the similar (quality 8 - 9 price 3 - 5) without waiting at the following shops in Asakusa, and of course much better in cost performance. Actually local Japanese people know that Asakusa is next to Tsukiji, and many of those famous sushi restraunts have their branches here in Asakusa. Just an example lists below.
Sushi rail or go-around, Kaiten-Zushi (Sushi) in Japanese (quality 8 - 9 price 5)
Maguro-Bito (Tuna-Man) is best known in Asakusa. If you do not wish to feel sin, please avoid ordering life-fish from the water tank right in front of your table. Dish has chip in the plate itself, they will scan to calculate how much, but you will be able to know how much you eat by the color of the dish.
Cheap but good (quality 8 price 3 - 4), actually a branch of Maguro-Bito (Tuna-Man)
Maguro-Bito has this chair-less (there is no seat) but standing-sushi (Tachi-Gui in Japanese), weekday lunch has even better rate (quality 8 price 3). Some pictures are available at Maguro-Bito (Okachimachi) and Maguro-Bito (Kaminari-mon) . It is worth paying international flight only to eat this sushi everyday! here in Tokyo. Visit Maguro-Bito to be a Tuna-Man!
Freshness from the fish tank, watch your chef skill right in front of your eyes
Sushi-Sen (Sushi-Fresh) is one of your best choice. And actually it runs 24 hours, so whenever you dream in futon (Japanese bed), just wake up and walk, you can taste it right there. It is located within only short walking distance from Tokyo Ryokan. Weekday lunch time has unbeaten deal.
