Getting to Sushi Daiwa part 2

Turn right when you see the Shrine for the fish riverbed god (literal translation)

Continue walking and turn right into the lane after the red Post Box

Sushi Daiwa!

Getting to Sushi Daiwa!

Thanks to a diner at Sushizamai, I finally discovered the way to Sushi Daiwa, THE sushi place in Tsukiji (unfortunately it is only open in the morning, Sundays excluded)

Get out from Exit 1 of the Tsukiji Station on the Hibiya Line

Turn left at the exit and walk pass the temple towards the Lawson store (across the road). Walk pass all the small shops along the pathway

Turn left when you see the Shell gas station and walk towards the Tsukiji Fish Market

Sushi!

Had lunch at Hitsumabushi today, and to satisfy my craving, it was an early sushi dinner in Tsukiji (at Sushizanmai which incidentally, is open for 24 hours)


Otoro, abalone, snow crab, uni and ikura sushi
x 2
yes I had 2 orders
they were 980JPY per order. It must be a mistake

my favorite Anago sushi. 400 JPY

and the finale - Aburi Otoro sushi x 2. It was heavenly with the baby chives, burnt salt...
398 JPY per piece of heaven

girls day out

Geishas in Ginza. But of course

Long queue of visitors to A&F. It's kind of odd seeing the mainland Chinese thronging the place checking out the clothes, or rather the eye candy inside. The Chinese are everywhere

there was no queue (surprisingly) so I took a picture with the topless hunk of the day (I told him it's for my wife)

walking through Ginza

Saturday, 28 August 2010



The main thoroughfare of Ginza was closed to traffic today and picnic tables and chairs were set up right in the middle of the street, in 40C sun. They were not very popular :)

however, most of the locals are still staying off the road and sticking to the pavements. Old habits die hard I guess
