No offense but probably a placebo effect? Sushi is fine there but the restaurants were always a bit of a tourist trap. Best sushi in the city is not there.
I won't argue where the "best" sushi is, but have you tried shutoku honten? It's pretty great.
Don’t think so, it was flat out just great without any pretentious nonsense. Never had fish that fresh. Hard to find that combo in the USA, let alone on an alley at 2am.
