[@astroboy3507]

@4:07 say no more!!!!!! 👅🎌👌🏻 I feel u saved the best for last!!! We went to sushi dai years ago when it was at tukiji for me it’s still the best sushi I ever had just can’t wait that long as it’s way too popular now!!! 😊

Hi a Tokyo local here. You guys are definitely sushi connoisseurs! Next time you are in town, I believe you need to try high end omakase, cuz I think you are more than ready. It will be pricey, but I guarantee that you will enjoy the experience. Doesn’t have to be at famous places like Kyubei as long as it is a reputable restaurant.

[@withTOKKI]

TY Sonny! As a Tokyo local- do you have a recommendation for a high end omakase restaurant where the rice is more vinegary? Those restaurants have been my favorite. ❤️ I will definitely try one soon. ありがとう😌✨

[@jeemoon1626]

Are there places you would recommend besides Kyubei?

[@sonny9054]

@@jeemoon1626 Yes there are. I tend to go to Nanba, but they are extremely hard to get a reservation and overpriced from my point of view. Kyubei is much better overall. If you could specify an area, I might be able to recommend a place.

I am traveling to Tokyo for a week a few days from today. Even as a foodie myself, I’m not waiting on any ridiculously long lines for food for the sake of waiting. Those hours could be spent doing more memorable things like seeing different neighborhoods within the city. I’ve been to Japan numerous times and most establishments have high standards when it comes to food so you can try that instead.

[@withTOKKI]

For sure! There are so many amazing sushi restaurants, you really can’t go wrong in Japan. ☺️❤️ Enjoy your trip! Lmk which restaurants you fall in love with ❤️ Ohhh- if I can recommend one to you though- try Uogashi Nihonichi for standing sushi. There is no line for that one and it was honestly so delicious! 🤤 Happy traveling ❤️

@@withTOKKI this was 7 years ago - I tried so many places from the fish market to eating at the subway, to finer restaurants. I don’t remember the names but the memories live on 😋🥰 at the time I thought I can’t believe how amazing everything tastes from the more modest places to higher end. Next time I’d love to do more ramen/curry houses and those kind of dishes as I was eating mostly sushi at the time

[@jonatana.4540]

You chose the horse mackerel over the o-toro at the end there, and that is in my humble opinion the CORRECT choice. Subbed! :)

[@jinchoi4907]

Hi. Just discovered your channel and am impressed by your love of sushi! Not sure I could eat it everyday haha but amazing to see. I'm partial to Daiwa rather than Dai from old Tsukiji days but both are legendary. Better when they used to let us bring our own alcohol 😂 back in the day. You would enjoy omakase in Seoul where the chefs worked with or under Saito, Kanesaka, Kyubei, etc. For especially vinegary rice try Sushi no Aya in Hannam-dong . Cheers. 🍣

I was about to eat sushi at Sushi Dai on Day 2 of my trip on August 11, but my family members woke up too late, so I had to go on Day 12. For the quality, the sushi was pretty good and delicious.

[@withTOKKI]

I’m amazed your family members all went together. That’s determination 🤣❤️ I loved the experience though. It’s so unique and such a spectacular omakase. I will never forget it 😌✨🍣

[@TwoTicketsToAdventure]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank You! This was such an informative video! The only sushi I have had raw was Salmon, Tuna, mackerel and Yellowtail. I am NOT a fan of fishy taste but I'm determined to try all the Tuna since I did enjoy that one and the Salmon. And that was in the States. I can only imagine how fresh it is over there so I'm really excited. BUT a part of me really wants to try Sushi Dai because I read it's a wonderful beginner omakase since it really doesn't have anything that adventurous or over the top. Do you find that true? Was there anything overly fishy at Sushi Dai? And I didn't even know there was an eatery at the market that had JUST TUNA! I think that's a wonderful place to try all the main cuts! Heading to Japan in 4 weeks!! 🎉

[@woodox7086]

Im going to tokyo in a few weeks and wont miss out on these. Im still not sure if i should go to Nemoru Hanamuru or minori!! It would be great to know the difference

[@caloric.surplus3145]

I'm sorry but these are definitely not the "top 7 sushi in Tokyo" The first one on your list is a tourist trap.. Maguro Mart in Nagano is a way better experience. Sushi Dai is so overrated for that long of a queue and another tourist trap. Tsujihan is great to have on the list to showcase kaisen don. But your picks really show that haven't done your research for your video title. I don't think these restaurants even land on the top 100 sushi restaurants on Tabelog (Japanese food review site) even after you omit all the $$$-$$$$ restaurants.

[@yasmeenkaram9780]

Thanks for mentioning these, I'm trying them once I arrive to tokyo :)

[@a004]

What's your top 7?

[@johnnguyen4152]

We tried to make reservations at SushiTen last month for our trip, but no luck. Because the our party of 9. It's so hard to book a Omakase at the well known sushi restaurant in Tokyo.

[@withTOKKI]

sorry to hear that, I can imagine traveling with a big group would be hard to make reservations for 😭 We’re going with a bigger group our next trip, but we might break into smaller groups to fit in some reservations for parts of it. I hope you can visit again and find a location with availability next time! ❤️ It really is the people that matter most at the end of the day though, so I’m sure you all had an incredible time together. 😌❤️

[@lynnferry291]

Ok, so was Sushi Dai REALLY worth getting up at 2 am and waiting hours in line for (not to mention the + ¥6,000 taxi ride)? Was it so much better than the others? Out of the seven restaurants you tried, which ones were the best?

[@withTOKKI]

I did soooooo much research to understand if it was worth it or not, but didn’t fully realize our answer until we just went for ourselves. But for us, we both loved it. 🥹❤️ The whole experience was so unique- and memorable. But not only that, the nigiris were all incredibly delicious! For example, the horse mackerel (aji) we ate was so thick cut and was so flavorful. I loved every moment here. The vibes, everything. It’s also kind of fun to suffer and complete the mission together. Idk how to explain it. 🤣 We also chose to go on the last day- so that we could just sleep on the flight afterwards. It was great. My fav… that’s a tough question. They were all so good! Sushi Dai, Tsujihan, and Maguroya would have to be my top 3! But then - the omakase too…! At Sushi Tokyo Ten was also great, but I think I’ve done a lot of omakases before, so the other three experiences stood out more. Hope this helps! 😍 lmk if you had any more questions ❤️

[@withTOKKI]

Oh - and the standing sushi actually has incredible sushi served as well. 🤣 I can’t pick. 😫
