Absolutely amazing sushi experience! 🍣 We were truly impressed by the taste and freshness of the fish — every piece was delicious and clearly prepared with great care. But what made our visit especially memorable was our sushi master, Kenta. Kenta introduced us to every single piece of sushi, explaining both its Japanese and English name. He was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel very special, even for us as visitors from abroad. One small moment especially showed us how thoughtful and caring he was. When my mom took out her medication, Kenta immediately noticed and asked one of the waiters to bring her some water. It was such a simple gesture, but it really showed how attentive he was to his guests. Thank you, Kenta, for making our experience so wonderful! The incredible sushi combined with your kindness and hospitality made this one of our favorite experiences in Japan. We would absolutely come back! 🇯🇵

We had a fantastic time at Daiwa, the chefs were absolutely phenomenal on every front. Their sushi were undoubtedly some of the best one could ask for. The chef was very engaging, spoke various languages to banter. They cut and prepare all nigiri/sashamni in front of you. The set omakase menu has around 12 pieces of nigiri, towards the end you can add more pieces (either new or something you have already!). They do offer various omakase experience, so just feel free to ask. You need to have a reservation, you could try walk in but the risk is high for waiting. We were lucky the first time, only had to wait 15 mins. This time we had a reservation and the restaurant was still packed.

Got here at 6:30am, luckily there was no wait. Chose the omakase course, and boy was it incredible! The fish was all delightfully fresh. The chef balanced each piece perfectly with just the right amount of soya sauce and garnished it with the lightest touch. Just enough to burst with flavors as it melts in your mouth. Honestly, this is probably the best sushi I have ever had in all my travels including time in Japan! It was mostly locals dining here this early, tourists started to pour in as I left. Cost around ¥8000 per person for the omakase course. Will try Sushi Dai on my next visit - supposed to be just as good as Daiwa Sushi. Tip - get here before 7 latest, perhaps earlier during busier tourist season. I left around 7:30 and a line had started forming. They can seat only around 15 people or so at a time. Location - across from the Toyosu market on the ground floor. It’s in the Fruit and Vegetables building which I think is Block 5. Posting a pic on location for reference.

The biggest highlight of my trip to Toyosu Market was definitely visiting Daiwa Sushi (大和寿司). The restaurant specializes in Omakase (chef's choice), primarily served as a set menu for around 7,000 yen per person. The sushi master curates a variety of sushi based on the freshest catch of the day while tailoring it to your personal preferences or any specific requests you may have. Everything tasted incredibly fresh. Since the shop is located away from the main tourist-heavy zones, you’ll find many local regulars there. Stumbling upon such an authentic, high-quality gem in a crowded tourist hub like Toyosu Market was truly the biggest surprise of my trip.

The sushi was a spectacular experience overall. We ordered the omakase set and added extra sushi. The chef was friendly and introduced us all kinds of ingredient. I was amazed by the flavor and the freshness of the fish. Highly recommend it! Although the wait time was barely acceptable, we waited on Saturday morning from 8:40am til 10:00am but it worth the wait.
