"The casual sister of luxe sushi restaurant Hakkoku , this is one of the few family-friendly places in Tokyo serving sophisticated sushi at a comfortably affordable price. Owner Hiroyuki Sato opened Sushidan as a training ground his young chefs, led by the charming Takehiro Arakawa. The restaurant uses many of the same ingredients found at Hakkoku, including premium tuna from Yamayuki—one of Japan’s most esteemed tuna merchants—and the signature shari seasoned with red rice vinegar. There’s usually a wait at this 12-seat counter inside of the bustling Eat Play Works food hall." - Melinda Joe
