Sushizanmai

Sushizanmai すしざんまい is a famous sushi restaurant with many branches in Tokyo. The main store is in Tsukiji Market. The lifelike portraits at the door make you unable to ignore this store. There is a constant stream of customers, so be prepared to queue.

Although Zanmai has many branches, if you want to eat the freshest sushi, you still have to go to the main store, which is located in Tsukiji Market. You should come early in the morning to eat the freshest tuna sushi and various other fish.

As a chain sushi restaurant, this store is basically open in various business districts in Tokyo. This one in Tsukiji Outer Market is the main store, which is quite popular. When I came here two years ago, the sushi here shocked me, especially the big toro of tuna, but this time it was really disappointing. First of all, there are queues. Since this store became an Internet celebrity, there are a lot of people. It takes about half an hour to queue up, and most of them are foreign tourists. Secondly, the same menu and dishes are too different in quality compared with two years ago, especially the big toro. There is no difference between it and the medium toro, and the color is not attractive. It is very perfunctory overall. Maybe it is too far from the current market to get good goods, or maybe the cost has increased. Anyway, the quality of this toro is not as good as the takeaway bento in the supermarket. It is really speechless. Of course, from other aspects, some sushi is still very beautiful, and the taste of the naked body itself is not bad. In addition, the waiters now receive more foreign tourists and will chat up in various ways, but in general, the most attractive sushi is not well made, and the others are fake. It is not recommended to eat here.
