Situated in an alleyway of the Tsukiji Outer Market, Tsukiji Sushi Dai Honkan is a popular Edomae sushi shop with queues forming before opening. Diners can experience the lively atmosphere as chefs shape each piece behind the counter; each sushi topping (neta) is pre-seasoned with salt or nikiri soy glaze, so the house style is to eat it directly without dipping in soy sauce. Classic favorites follow one after another: chutoro and otoro celebrated for their melting fat and sinew-free smoothness, gently tender seared anago, well-seasoned kohada with pleasant acidity, and kelp-cured kinmedai with refined umami. The system allowing guests to choose 1 to 2 pieces of their favorite sushi topping (neta) at the end of the course meal is also popular, and its reasonable pricing in the highly competitive Tsukiji area wins wide support. The B1 and 1st-floor counter seats along with the 2nd-floor table seats are entirely non-smoking, making it convenient for lunch, dining with friends, or having a drink alone. Some note that visiting during off-peak hours helps avoid waiting in line since it operates continuously throughout the day.
