| SUSHI, UNAGI, EEL, DOJO and WHALE IN ASAKUSA |
|
| Japanese people tend 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, Go-around or 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. |
