The best sushi in Tokyo
Sometime ago I came across one of which I consider the best sushi restaurant in Tokyo. Since then, I go at least once a week (sometimes even more!) to that place to have the best sushi!
Sushizanmai is the name of the chain of restaurants present all around Tokyo, but the principal ones are: Bekkan (別館 – Annex) and Honten (本店 – principal). Both of them placed in the area of Tsukiji, next to the biggest fish market in the world.
Personally, I go a lot to Bekkan as the “Sushimen” already know me, it was the first I came across, there is a lot less queue to do and it’s bigger (two storeys). The only fault is that they do a lot less live-auctions: to get a fish from the fishtank and prepare it in sushi.
Furthermore, the Akihabara’s Sushizanmai is good as well. Located in the same building of Yodobashi (the biggest electronic goods department store in the world). It is really suitable to get some rest in Akihabara after a hard day freak-shopping!
There you have some pictures of the Honten:

In this small menu you can see the whale sushi ad (I don't believe it's whale)
Sushi 24h! Wohooo!
