Itamae Sushi is a HK chain, not a Japanese one. They opened one in Japan recently, kind of some "reverse homecoming." There are over 2,000 sushi restaurants in Tokyo. Itamae Sushi doesn't even rank in the top 1,000 places. Thank you for playing.

they are cheap, they are ok (yet some had sanitary issues in hong kong), and they give you the occasional sushi fix. yet you can find better around... even for the price.

seen the shops around but never tried it. Never will. Plenty of authentic Japanese owned, Japanese cheffed sushi restaurants around here.
The bloke got famous for bidding HK$45 man for a blue fin at the Tokyo fish market. Last month he bid HK$88 for another which was half the size of his last one. That went for HK$100 for a piece. Not a bad publicity stunt.
