The other famous sushi joint

Three years ago, the names Daiwa Sushi and Sushi Dai floated to the shores of Singapore. The best sushi restaurants in the outer market of Tsukiji Wholesale Centre.

Both restaurants are side by side and the lines outside the shops crammed the narrow market corridor. I thought the line in front of Daiwa Sushi was longer. So I parked myself in that line. For an hour or so. Before I got my food.

Today, there's barely a line in front of that stall. Why, I have no idea. The sushi was great and I was happy to part with 3500¥ worth of raw fish. Maybe it's cos Sushi Dai's had more publicity these couple of years.

Standing in line right now for the restaurant and everyone front and back of me, are Gaijin. Maybe just a couple of Japanese couples.

Hmm, a bunch of tourists right behind me just made off for Daiwa Sushi.

Any case, I'll just hold out for Sushi Dai. Since I've already been to the other one. Though my hunch tells me one sushi shop here is as good as another. How would a long line of foreigners / Trip Advisor junkies know better?
