For about $100 we got a massive amount of fish for 3 plus miso, beer etc.
This equates to about USD $70 plus tax & tip which wouldn’t get you much at a Bay Area sushi joint.
Needless to say we find everything in Tokyo to be a huge bargain compared to California. But especially dining. A beer 🍺 at the ⚾️ game was $5.
It's a wild bargain compared to almost anywhere in the US. Like Visconti, we can get a chirashi bowl each, one glass of sake, and split an appetizer for $70 out here in MA. That's before tip.
