Serious Sushi


The Japanese take their Sushi seriously! This very large stuffed tuna was mounted over the door of a very popular sushi restaurant in Tsukuji-Shijo, Tokyo. The interior was decorated with large photos of fisherman with similarly huge Tuna as well as a large fish aquarium with live entrees that periodically get added to the menu. Just a half a block away is the fish market, the likely source of all of that tasty fresh fish, with high stacks of foam crates full of iced fresh fish from all over the world.

This fairly large restaurant (2 floors) was packed, apparently because they are very reasonable with good quality. Notably, the retaurant across the street was not full. So, good quality at affordable prices makes a difference.
