In this video I take you to the following sushi restaurants located in Tokyo:
5. Uobei in Shibuya
4. Tenka Sushi in Shibuya
3. Heiroku Sushi in Harajuku
2. Sushi Zanmai in Roppongi
1. Sukiyabashi Jiro in Roppongi (Jiro's son)
Historically, sushi was invented to preserve fish in fermented rice, later the Japanese preferred to eat the fish & rice together thus a new dish was born. Nowadays, sushi is immensely popular worldwide to an extend that sushi is even served on naked 'sushi' girls.
Kicking off this list at Uobei, one of the most modern high-tech sushi conveyor belt restaurants in Tokyo where sushi is shipped to you on a personal tray by conveyor. Uobei offers tasty nama-salmon, although this is a discount sushi joint, don't settle for the sea-urchin, cheeseburger or albacore tuna sushi.
Across the street you'll find Tenka sushi, one of the better sushi joints in Shibuya where you can even try Swordfish sushi. For the best sushi conveyor belt place in Shibuya I recommend you head to the top floor of the Seibu building, at place called Katsu Seibu Shibuya-zen (my little secret) you can enjoy high-grade sushi and no tourists since this place is very hard to find.
Heiroku Sushi on the Omotesando street is a gem in Harajuku, these sushi chefs take pride in their presentation. Make sure to double check the prices for each plate on the wall, which usually ranges from 120 YEN to 650 YEN ($1.15 to $5.75).
My favorite joint is Sushi Zanmai in Roppongi. A 24hr, 7 days a week sushi joint that sells high quality sushi and provide an friendly English speaking staff. Make sure to try the Chirashi bowl and giant unagi/anago (eel) sushi. Of course the ultimate sushi destination is Sukiyabashi Jiro, although Jiro comes at a high price ($200 for 15 pieces) it will be worth every penny and your sushi experience will never be the same after tasting this world class quality. No wonder it has 3-michelin stars.
Conveyor belt sushi is called a 'kaiten' in Japanase and reminds me of a scene from the Jetsons cartoon (1960's), in which conveyor belts and automatic ordering systems were already widely used.
Now to those stating 'why would you pay $200 for sushi, it is fish, it is all the same'. I grew up in a fishermen town in Holland and lived next to the fishing harbor for 20 years enjoying fresh catch weekly, I consider myself knowing a bit about sushi-grade quality and I have to say; You are wrong!
