The story
Sushi Dai, inside Toyosu Market, is a legendary spot for an omakase featuring super fresh fish. As Cosa mangiamo oggi noted, you get "an incredible omakase" for around 35 euros—but you must queue from early morning. Highlights from that meal included otoro and grilled tuna cheek. Francesco Zini called it "one of the best sushi in Tokyo" for just €30 in his video. His omakase ranged wide, from tamagoyaki and otoro to unusual nigiri like shirako (cod sperm sacs) and balone (fish testicles). For adventurous sushi lovers willing to wait, Sushi Dai delivers remarkable value and variety.

AI summary of what 7 dish mentions say about the food
Sushi Dai’s omakase dazzles with its standout swordfish, praised for its buttery richness, while the overall vibe is one of intimate, masterful precision that feels both humble and electric.
“Swordfish. Nice. I've never had swordfish as nigiri. Obviously, as soon as it touches the tongue, the shallot comes through. A meaty texture, but still melty. And I like that the soy sauce has settled into the cuts they made on top — it keeps releasing flavor with the soy sauce. That's good.”

Gamberi vivi
This is the à la carte dish they had — live shrimp. They brought them in a bowl and they're still alive, heads moving. You eat them like that. I've never eaten a shrimp this fresh. It's a unique experience, probably the first time I've eaten a shrimp at its maximum expression — you can't get better than this. Then they fried the heads. You can eat everything, even the little legs. It's like mixed frying to the nth power. This shrimp was alive before, it had a glorious end. It ended up in the right mouths.

Omakase
We start with tea and miso soup, then the omakase begins. The fish is super fresh — nothing like the experience we had at Tsukiji. It's incredible, guys, it's worth it. They suggest whether to add soy sauce or ginger or wasabi or nothing; I go with nothing to taste the real flavor of the fish. It's insane. They're very generous with the amount of fish. Not a single bad piece. We ate in 45 minutes, they're super fast. We spent 35 euros each.
Tuna Cheek Grilled
We ordered an extra tuna cheek, grilled. It looks very sticky. It's the most indulgent, melty, total thing. Mamma mia, guys, order it. This isn't part of the omakase, it's an extra you can add. Add it.
Otoro
They let you choose the last piece of your omakase from a long list of nigiri. If I get to choose, it's always otoro for me, which to me is basically the wagyu of tuna. Are you happy, Gianni? I'd walk out of here right now and go into the next one if that were possible.
