Sushi Sasaki @ Ginza
People in Edo started to have Sushi and a restaurant started using fresh fish.

And NOW, Sushi chef in Osaka cut up a fish from stomach but chef in Tokyo do it from back.
Because Harakiri (commit ritual suicide by disembowelment) is avoidable for Samurai, and Hara wo waru ('Breaking stomach' means heart to heart talk) is high end spirit for merchant.

私も同感です＾＾
I love sushi, were it not for this food my life would be lacking.
I'm glad that you like Sushi:)
I do not speak nor read Japanese.
Is Sushi Sasaki still ok, or they won't accept my presence? Also: (1)any other top sushiya that is among your top 3 in Tokyo? (2)How do local sushi Japanese fans rate places that are so popular with foreigners like Sushi Mizutani? Yoshitake? Sushiso Masa? Are those perceived as the very top for the locals or are there unknown ones that the locals find superior to those? If Yes, which ones please? Thanks
