Eating sushi in Tokyo? I recommend this.

In the last few days, I ' ve gotten some emails asking about my recommendations for sushi places in Tokyo. Like I wrote in this Sushi article, Nigiri and Makimono is not all Sushi. We have a various types of sushi. However if you eat sushi in Tokyo, it should be Nigiri; our Edomae sushi.
The really Good Fresh Edomae sushi places are in the Ginza area because the biggest fish market in Japan, Tsukigi, is next to Ginza. Ginza is the most exclusive and expensive shopping area in Japan; even so the price is pretty good :-) too.  But if you want try real sushi, Yoshino sushi Honten, Sushiko honten would be good. The budget for each is around 10000 yen. If you want to lower price a little more, I recommend Shoei(JP). It is nice place and it is in my favorite town Ebisu.

Anyway if you want to try something good but reasonable priced, the rotating sushi bars (kaiten sushi ) are not bad at all. Actually since there are so many rotating sushi bars, they compete hard with each other, and the quality of rotating sushi bars has been greatly improved recently.  For example Ikebukuro is very competitive place of rotating sushi shops.  it will be interseting to check them all in the same item and find your best place.

Katsugyo Ooedo Ikebukuro 2goten (活魚大江戸)
Mawashizushi Wakataka (回し鮨　若貴)

P.S.
Personally I reccommend this sushi place Sushi Katsu in 　Meguro.　 This is the branch of Midori zushi in Umegaoka which is famous for delicious and cheap non- lotating regular sushi place.

I stayed at Ebisu area the last time I was in Tokyo but I don't think I know how to locate Shoei even with the online map.

You're talking about such lovely sushi, but I can't eat it while I'm pregnant! ひどい～；； Which brings a question, in Japan, when women get pregnant, do they eat any raw fish at all? What do they mostly eat? I ate lots of うめぼし　と　おちゃずけ　when I was sick with morning sickness. It felt so good! Especially for umeboshi tea, just ume and hot water. ＾＾
