寿司大 Sushi Dai @ Tsukiji

Sushi Dai is a very famous sushi restaurant in Tsukiji. Situated near Tsukiji Market, it has people queuing in front of the restaurant as early as 5am. It took us about 5-hour queue for this!!
Here's the location.

It's near 6am!! Look at the queue. We just started queuing at that time on the other side; at the roadside.

Even the sushi restaurant next door - 寿司和 Sushi Wa - had a long queue

Finally, we reached near the front door at 10:40am.

The Menu

It could only serve 13-14 customers at a time.

Finally, we're in at 11:08am. It's a sushi bar with 3 sushi chefs. All sushis were handmade!!!

Huge scallop on display.

Complimentary green tea and miso soup.
