In the beginning of Edo, it was a food stand yatai. Apparently, in Shimbashi there is still some … I am going to do a stop stand in. What is your opinion on this attempt ? A bit afraid though… Mon Oct 12 00:15:56 -0700 2009 1082452 Ninisix 1 5096374 Go for it. What have you got to lose?

Maybe some day...

It's sushi as a fast-food commodity, not fine dining, and definitely worth checking out. Tue Oct 13 06:45:45 -0700 2009 5096354 37161 OGguy 2 5107124 Thanks. Will go tonight.

The place is WADA sushi at Shimbashi : http://r.tabelog.com/tokyo/A1301/A130103/13017505/dtlphotolst/458846/?ityp=4 For sure, I did not order the omakase course but a konomi simple ikkan 2 by 2. The best piece was a tennen buri, seasons fish, did not order the tuna… My Japanese friend said it was correct and a fun experience. Sun Oct 18 00:29:08 -0700 2009 5107124 1082452 Ninisix
