This is one of the largest combinations offered and it was Mr. Once seated, we were served some cold tea and pickled radishes.I really enjoyed the pickled radishes and ate nearly the entire bowl before my food arrived. The menu is displayed through colorful photographs, which is what drew me to the stall in the first place. The tiny stall, like most of the other sushi vendors in the area, only seats about 8 people at a time, so we ended up waiting about 30-40 minutes. Many had lines too long for my hungry empty stomach or no line at all which also made me suspicious. We arrived in the area a little before 5 AM and scoped out the different restaurants. And everyone I knew who had done it said it really wasn’t worth the wait– that the sushi was fresh but there was better sushi in Tokyo that didn’t require such a long wait. People line up for an average of 4 hours, and it’s recommended you line up around 1 AM to eat there at 5 AM.
After much research and discussion with people who braved Sushi Dai’s line, I decided against trying it. The two most popular ones in the area are Sushi Dai, followed by Daiwa Sushi. Many of the restaurants open as early as 5 AM. With the restaurants having just gotten their fish, it’s a tradition to eat at one of the nearby restaurants for sushi breakfast while the fish is still incredibly fresh. (It wasn’t possible to take a good photo of this stall as it was crowded with people.) I’ll be covering Tsukiji Market and the other outer vendors in another post, but this one will focus on the sushi breakfast tradition.
Surrounding the market are many shops and vendors, and small sushi restaurants. One of the most visited attractions in Tokyo is Tsukiji Fish Market for their famous tuna auction. Our first official meal in Japan was at Kaisen-don Ooedo (海鮮丼 大江戸), where we had sushi breakfast.
