Fodor's Expert Review Tsukiji Edo-Gin
In an area that teems with sushi bars, this one maintains its reputation as one of the best. Tsukiji Edo-Gin drapes generous slabs of fish over the vinegared rice rather than perching them demurely on top. The centerpiece of the main room is a huge tank where the day's ingredients swim about until required; it doesn't get any fresher than this. Set menus here are reasonable, especially for lunch, but a big appetite for specialties like sea urchin and otoro tuna can put a dent in your budget. One affordable way to do dinner is to sit at the counter and order the Edo nigiri set, where the chef serves his choice of sushi for a set price.
