Unfortunately Little Tokyo is more like Little Korea now. You won`t find much there.

I love trying new things. Sushi is cool. Don't real care if its real sushi, per se. Or anything like that doesn't concern me.

best dang Ikura i've ever had...

lol, i remember going on a fishing trip to Long Island with my family when i was a weetle boy...
we caught some flounders and my dad whipped out the wasabi and started cutting up the fresh flounder....

folks were grossed out back then... it was in the early 80's when sushi did not really hit big in NYC at the time... he he he...

People that haven't eaten sushi in Japan don't realize how good ikura is. I used to think it was pretty crappy but for some reason it's world's different over there. It's like mini capsules of liquid buttery fish flavor.

Ikura and Uni were the superstars of my sushi eating experience over there. Most restaurants I ate at there put them on their own special plate.

I've never had the pleasure of eating uni from the urchin like this. It's so good anyways, I couldn't imagine what it is like when eaten from it's briny shell. Threak fun: My favorite sushi is a southwestern-spiced chicken roll, but instead of rice you use iceberg lettuce.

Daiwa isn't bad, but if you can afford the better stuff you should give it a try, at least once. Right by Daiwa is a place called Sushi Dai, they are pretty much equal in quality/price/options. Zanmai sushi (a few locations near Tsukiji) is a good value as well.

A full omakase course at a nicer place like Mizutani, Dai San Harumi, Jiro, etc. will be a life changing experience for anyone who appreciates fish. Be prepared for a bill anywhere from 5x to 9x the price of Daiwa - although you will get a lot more fish (of a much higher quality). On the plus side, you don't have to wait in line with the drunks (or while drunk)!

People assume that tsukiji shops have the freshest fish because they are closest to the actual market. But economically, that makes no sense. A seller at the market has a wonderful fish, fresh off the boat, why would he sell it to the buyer for JPY2000 when a more expensive restaurant would pay JPY10000 and then pass the price to the customers? Proximity does not mean quality.

I like it the sushi, I also like it the Japanese women, but more than that, I like it the Japanese women who like it the sushi.
