Daiwa Sushi 大和寿司 豊洲市場@Tokyo Toyosu Market ★★★

Fantastic Freshest Sushi at Toyosu. They even put Ikura inside the sushi roll. Much shorter wait and easier than Sushi Dai. 30 mins - 1.5 hours wait depending the time of the day. The earlier the better. 7 pieces of Sushi + a roll for 6,600 yen. Add-ons available. Reservation available online for 400 yen fee on TableCheck.
