To be honest, the sushi, teishoku (set meals), and yakiniku (grilled meat) I had in Tokyo were the most delicious food I’ve had in 30 years—definitely in my top two. The sheer deliciousness of those dishes was absolutely mind-blowing.
Photos 1 to 7: These were taken at Sushi Dai, a renowned sushi restaurant located in the Toyosu Fish Market (Tokyo’s main seafood market). We even started queuing at 3:00 AM and didn’t get to eat these incredible sushi until 8:00 AM—but the wait was absolutely worth it.
Photos 8 to 11: While exploring the streets of Tokyo, we spotted a restaurant that looked absolutely delicious, so we went in. However, the staff informed us that reservations were required, so we immediately booked a table for 6:00 PM the next day. The moment we took our first bite, the food was astonishingly delicious—a true culinary delight.
Photos 12 and 13: In the middle of the night, when we were hungry and looking for food, we found a grill restaurant that was still open. What a pleasant surprise—it turned out to be an amazing meal. Each slice of meat only needed three seconds on the grill, and the result was melt-in-your-mouth goodness with a surprisingly sweet flavor. We were truly amazed and absolutely loved it.

Enjoy your trip! I still tell people the best onigiri I’ve ever had was at the train station at some random stand in Japan and I’m Japanese American in LA and have great options

How’s the eel? And have you had it in North America? I have only ever tried eel in North American sushi restaurants and do not like the sandy flavour. I wanted to try it while in Tokyo, but it didn’t happen. I imagine it tastes different (better).
Having said that, ikura is my favourite and some of the ikura I had in Tokyo wasn’t as good as the ones I’ve had in North America. I think that’s because they have different kinds in Japan, whereas in NA they only offer what they called in one restaurant “Premium Ikura,” which was the larger roe shown in your picture.
