 Ask five Tokyoites to name the best sushi restaurants in the city, and you’re likely to get five different answers - the old "how long is a piece of string?" quandary. That's because the sushi experience is a very personal one that can include not only raw seafood, but also things like unmatched service, chefs whose skills were honed by years of apprenticeship, an atmosphere that screams “traditional Japan” and, in many cases, a whopping bill. Because of all this, any one traveler’s favorite sushi experience is going to largely depend on budget, interests and previous experience with the cuisine.

I live in Japan on a very small island. I can tell you this ,the best sushi is far from Tokyo. We all laugh what they pay for sushi when we eat fresh out of the water maybe 20-30 minutes later
Sushi is both an art form and one of our families favorites!
I had some pretty good sushi at Tokyo's Narita Airport and also at Kansai Airport in Osaka. Probably the best sushi you can get anywhere. P90X, baby!!!
Why are all of the pictures of the food in this story stock photos? This story is about five particular restaurants who are being singled out for their excellence. Why doesn't CNN show us pictures of the actual food from those restaurants? Sushi is very esthetic; good sushi chefs endeavour to delight not only the taste but also the eyes.
Mr. Pat correctly observes, "You obviously know nothing about Japan and the fishing industry."
Let me also add that you know nothing about radioactivity either.
It's the same as the ignorant drivel being spouted about vacationing on & eating out of the Gulf almost 2 years after the oil spill. The loudest & most passionate alarmists seem to have the most tentative grips on reality.
Tsukiji ,Tokyo is the most famous ;-) I'm a Japanese but I also love Califolnia roll!
Well, this was not very revealing. But true however. :D
mmm sushi
And this is all coming from Japan's radioactive waters. Who in their right mind will eat any Japanese agricultural in Japan? Let alone buying Japanese products in general... this is nuclear radiation and nuclear experts have shown the radiation levels are much higher than reported in Japan. Yet you still see Japanese fishermen fishing in the ocean near where the nuclear disaster happened. This is disgusting.
You obviously know nothing about Japan and the fishing industry. I suggest you visit some major US ports/marinas as the boats are coming in and start counting the number of Japanese buyers of high grade tuna coming from US waters. Save your political rants for a more appropriate article.
When I buy something including electronics, cars, or food, I prefer made in japan.
Never buy made in China or South Korea.
why not south korea? you realize samsung is the world's #1 manufacturer of flat panel televisions.
The sky is falling, the sky is falling. What a nutcase.
You are a funny guy ! Yup, I bet the food you`re eating in the states is so much safer ! hahahaha
