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.
Good old Sushi Zanmai. Side note - in the Bay, I’ve found Sushi Tomi in Mountain View a pretty good value with their extra special night being $35 for a set, including miso and a fried amaebi head. Been going there for years.
