Tsukiji market

[kifo]

Most people just order the set, which is 8 different sushis. You don't get to choose the sushis, but it will have all the common one, like otoro (fatty tuna) and uni (sea urchin). Price is about 3000-4000 JPY for such a set.
Conveyor belt sushis are usually 100-150JPY per plate.

I recalled I paid 3200 yen for a set of sushi and 1800 for ikura don with salmon and tuna slices.

I did not go to the daiwa but a restaurant near it. Try the outer market too. There's tons of eatries there! Esepecially the tamago... Yummmy

For Daiwa and Sushi Dai, most customers (read tourists lol) will order the usual set for ¥3,500. I think there was an English menu stating the price of the set which the chef will show you.

Got ala-carte menu but only in Japanese if i recall correctly. I believe the place has become quite touristy and they are used to serving foreigners, so should be no problem there.

This is Daiwa.

I was at Sushi Dai last weekend. Waited nearly 4 hrs for our turn! All other eateries and shops have closed for the day. Only their shop is still operating with a queue in wait. Food is good, but i believe Sushi Dai is over-rated and there are other eateries in Tsukiji comparable with good quality sushi and sashimi. Its really not worth that long a wait. For tourists like us, time is more precious. OMG.

Tried the shop next to Sushi Dai cos long queue.

The thing is..it's sushi...RAW fish. Shouldn't make any diff right since no cooking involved.

Anyway, had the salmon, sea urchin, the white fish (what's it called) 3 slices each. Seems fine to me. Just wanted to eat at Tsujiki before it closed.

Around how much it cost for those sashimi you've eaten?

That's what I want to find out too. Those high end sushi place are they really that good? but at tsujiki, the difference for the sushi shouldn't be too big

It was around S$30.
