Ed, I was last month in Sushi Dai and after waiting for around an hour I just share all your experiences… I even got also the otoro as my free choice at the end, hahaha. It was an expensive breakfast (we just had coffee on the hostel) but it was a wonderful and worthful experience! Never ever had so much fresh sushi before! Normally I’m just used to the rolled sushi…
Cheers,
Fernando

Going to Tokyo in 10days (though will have to wait and see if situation changes for the worse) and I plan to check out this place. Great video and pics. Hope I have not hyped it up to myself too much but can’t wait. Will try to get there early

ed,

is this really worth it to try? I always woke up at 8 – 10am everyday, so waking up at 4.30 its a bit so heartache. I even drools seeing your picture.

so if its really good, I will come back the next day. sigh, I will update here. lol

Excellent post and thanks for documenting. We visited Dai in Tsukiji on a crazy 14-hour layover in Tokyo. We waited in line for about 2 hours, but it was, as you mentioned, the BEST sushi we’ve ever had. We basically let the chef choose three courses for us and were delighted with the picks (the kaijiki, swordfish, was a nice surprise to finish up with). “Breakfast” for two was around US$88 but again, well worth it. Thanks for great pix and write-up – brought back many good and delicious memories!

Thank you so much for the great blog entry. I was trying to explain this experience to my friends and family but couldn’t give an accurate account. You summed it up so well with amazing photos. Thanks for posting. It will be one of my most memorable experiences.

Hello Ed. Great write up and excellent video on Sushi Dai! I’m a big fan of sushi myself for many years now, favoring the nigiri types over the maki’s. I recently took a “pilgrimage”, as you would say, that every avid sushi fan must do, to the famed Sushi Dai in Tsukiji just last month, having stayed in Tokyo for only 5 days. I purposely stay at a hotel 5 minutes from Tsukiji so that I can walk over there to have sushi every morning, and every evening, just to sample different sushi restaurants (to compare) and try different tane that I haven’t had before in the States (like shako and akagai, for example, since I couldn’t find any place that served those here) … You were sooo right.. its unbelievably delicious, the BEST sushi I’ve ever had, and now I only wish all sushi I eat from now on can taste that good, heavenly, beyond fresh,and perfect. Might be kinda hard, since I live in San Diego. The sushi thats very delicious tha comes close to the caliber of Sushi Dai that I’ve had now, but close only by a wide margin still, was Sushi Gen, in Los Angeles. (though I’ve to tried Urasawa and Sasabune, on my list to do!) After waiting for a hour in the 30 degrees tempurature when I arrived at 5AM, I was too excited and forgot to take pictures. But I recall that the kinme-dai (big-eye, red, alfonsino) topping was ethereal, so delicous… as well as the akagai, anago, hirame, and uni. I was lucky to have some fish meat in my miso soup, heh-heh. But again, thanks for your blog, write up, and recommendation of this sushi haven, its been so helpful… I believe it must be world famous or something, as each day I walk by, there are lines galore, with visitors from all over the world (I chatted with a family from Singapore while waiting in line) along with the locals… the sushi speaks for itself. No other place I’ve tried since compares to it, I must say. The price was 3900 Yen for omakase when I was there (Feb.17, 2010), just in case you wanted to update others. So worth it! Well, sorry to take so much of your space on the blog. I’ll read more on your other write ups, and thanks. Take care. – Brandon
