There are 400,000 restaurants in the Tokyo metropolitan area . . . many are
sushi restaurants.

If you are looking for the best possible sushi, are not with locals and
money is no object, Sushi Nakata in the Imperial Hotel. Excellent sushi
without being overcharged because you are a gaijin.

If you are looking for sushi on a budget, try the basement levels of office
buildings in Yurakucho/Marunouchi or even the food level of a department
store such as Mitsukoshi (Nihonbashi) or Sogo (Yurakucho).

My personal favorite . . . Chiyosei in Morishita. Small, neighborhood sushi
shop with a live tank (delicious aji). Went there every Friday night for a
couple of years. Owner is Ishii-san.

Or if you just want to have some fun, try Kubota-san's yakitori in the
"guardo-shita" section of Ginza (2 minutes from Imperial Hotel). Cheap
eats, cold beer.

My rule for eating out when not with locals is to never go down or up steps
.. . . always eat in a shop/restaurant at street level.

The list goes on and on and on.
