Yummy Deluxe Chirashi-don near Tsukiji Fish Market

We were pressed for time so we didn't get the opportunity to try Sushi-Dai as the lineup was a bit too long to wait but it's okay there are lots of other dining options in the area. The best bets are to go to places that have some lineup but not too long so you don't waste too much time just for a place to eat. Luckily after constantly browsing through the Tsukiji Fish market area we found a place! It's called Sushi Zan Mai. Yes it's not one of a kind as it has over 30+ locations in Tokyo but I want to primarily go to places that locals go to and a ton of locals eat here.

As you may or may not have noticed but the Bluefin Tuna is a highly prized fish in Japan and this place just so happened to have bought the most expensive Bluefin Tuna for 2014 which usually gives good fortunes for the year on the restaurant/owner that owns that title for the year and from the looks of it, they are doing pretty well this year based on the popularity of their many locations I passed by throughout Tokyo. It's not the very best cuts of fish but for the prices and quality presented to us, it's a pretty good deal.

For those that don't know what a Chirashi is, it's simple a bowl with rice at the bottom with various kinds of seasonal fish served on top.
