Tokyo, Japan

Chris was in Tokyo, Japan (without me) to hang out with friends, eat some sushi, and drink some sake.  And if those things were his mission, his mission was a success.  Last time he was in Tokyo was in 2002, so he had a packed schedule for 3 days while he was there.

His main objective was to eat some awesome sushi.  Last time we were in Tokyo together (more than 10 years ago), we couldn't afford good sushi, so we only had Kaiten sushi.  So this time he was determined to eat some serious sushi.  He chose Sushi Dai in Tsukiji Market.  Look at these photos!!!  I just want to lick my computer screen.  

It was 3,500 yen during lunch for 9 pieces of chef's choice plus two rolls & miso.  If you want to get the same quality of fish, it will cost 25,000 yen in Ginza.

I have to disclose the information that he waited 2 and half hours for this.  This is coming from a guy who hates waiting, which is a big problem in New York, and he said it was worth the wait.

Another thing, we both don't like Uni that much - actually refuse to eat it, but he said it tasted like butter.

So if you are in Tokyo next time and have a few hours to kill, check out Sushi Dai.
