Legendary sushi counter at Toyosu Market where customers queue for hours for the omakase set.
Sushi Dai is one of the most famous sushi restaurants in Tokyo, having relocated from the legendary Tsukiji inner market to the Toyosu Market. Renowned for its omakase (chef's choice) course featuring the freshest fish sourced directly from the market, this intimate counter-only shop delivers an unparalleled sushi experience. Each piece is expertly crafted by skilled itamae (sushi chefs) right before your eyes.
