Sushidan at Eat Play Works in Hiroo, Tokyo

This little sushi counter is kinda cool in that it was started by a Michelin-starred chef for his team to run (5 Chome−4−16, 050-3171-8112). It was casual: a nine-piece lunch omakase started at just ¥3,500 (US$23), featuring quality products including some rather boldly-seasoned rice. Everything they delivered was of good quality, but it all came at a pretty fast pace, as they would typically deliver two pieces at a time, sometimes even before we had even finished the previous one. At that rate, we were done with our nine pieces in less than half an hour.
