Tokyo's best sushi

Fish at its finest and freshest -- here are the foremost sushi restaurants in the city

Recommended: Magurobito’s maguro

Magurobito, Tokyo
Thick tuna is the order of the day everyday at Magurobito.

“One of the most popular sushi restaurants in Tokyo is this fun and energetic kaiten-zushi place,” says Tokyofoodcast.com writer Etsuko Nakamura.

In a city where sushi can get quite expensive, Magurobito is known not only for its quality of food, but also reasonable prices.

“Magurobito has the best of both worlds,” says Nakamura.

“You can quickly grab your favorites as the plates go around on the conveyor belt, or order directly from the chef if you don't see what you want coming down the track.”

So what's the best order?

“As the name indicates, maguro really is their speciality,” Nakamura says.

Open Monday - Friday, 11 a.m.-3 p.m., 5-10 p.m. Saturday, 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday and public holidays, 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Magurobito Asakusa main branch,1-5-9 Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo, tel. +81 (0) 3 3844 8736, www.maguro-bito.jp
