Sashi Dai @ Tsukiji Fish Market

Think this is the kanji name of this sushi place; located a few shops away on the same row (Block 6) as Sushi Dai and Sushi Daiwa.

A friend who visited Japan earlier recommended this place to me. And having to witness the long queue at both Sushi Dai and Sushi Daiwa, I made a quick decision to quickly move on.

So if you want to miss the queue, give this place ago. They also serve sushi. Though I understand from another shop owner there that this restaurant is newer (apparently around 5 years) compared to Sushi Dai and Sushi Daiwa. But think the locals dine here to avoid the mad wait at Sushi Dai and Sushi Daiwa.

The owner is friendly but only speaks Japanese or very limited English.


A bowl of hot steaming fish soup is served the moment you sit down.


Opted for fresh sashimi since I was planning to fill my stomach with other food around Tsukiji market.

So if you want sushi at Tsukiji with a quieter and more relaxed environment without wait, do drop by this place instead!!

IMHO you can't go wrong with the sushi shops in Tokyo as they are all generally good, its the service and price (to some extent) that distinguishes each place from another.
