Tsukiji Market

Any reason why nowadays Sushi dai Q is so crazy? Did they appear in some guidebooks or something?


i guess i lucked out having enjoyed Dai for some time without having to endure the crazy Q.

I remember back in 2009, reached there at around 530am, went straight in. Every year after that Q just gets longer and longer each time. Longest i had to Q was at most 1 hr. Until the last i went 2 years back, Q 4 hrs... that was it... Took away all the fun.

Now i go to the Katsu and to the outer market.

Is Itame sushi near to Ginza subway? Any queue? Thanks.

Itamae sushi is shop houses along the train track...

There are q during super peak hours.... but is moving q.....

And got seats outside while u wait....

A good place if u r a honmaguro ( bluefin tuna ) fan.....

Of coz there r better restaurant serving much better honmaguro ...

As these r the shops that the successful bidder at the tuna auction sell to....

Whats the range like for lunch?

Range normally is 5000, 8000, 10000 yen....

To have the feel of reasonable price.... Likely u have to choose the 10000 yen set..

Better variety, better quality etc......

Japan in general getting more and more tourist arrivals I guess. Also helped a bit by the upcoming (well, now it's indefinitely postponed) shifting of the market. Another reason is that there's a lot more tourists eating nowadays. Japanese ppl sit, eat, leave; tourists take twice as long cos need to slow slow take photo, take selfie, etc etc

I feel bad for eating under 2k sushi set.... and yeah it is a standalone sushi bar in that area

Japanese should know better than to go Sushi dai and daiwa

Tsukiji market is fun with street stall food - tamago, sushi, BBQ assortment of seafoods and many stalls of dry foods (as gifts or buy back). Just go there in morning, enjoy the crowd and food - I dun see the need to go and see the auction - I heard some auctioneers dun like unknown ppl to be there and disturb the auctioning.

U know la - ppl auctioning, cannot get the price for the item they wont, sure face black black. See foreigner their face even more black.

If I don't intend to go for auction. ..is there anything to eat and see see look look at early 6am ?

Seriously, if u don't understand Japanese u wun understand what they doing during the auction...

Even if u do understand Japanese, u wun understand wat they shouting too....

It will be more exciting if u can watch those supplier cutting the huge tuna.....

That alone is at art..... They measure the weight of certain part of the tuna using finger....
