The best sushi restaurants in Tokyo.

Sushi Dai, the best restaurant to eat sushi in Tokyo.
Starting from 6am in the morning until around 3pm in the afternoon, people line up outside this tiny stall that seats about 12-14 people.

Do not be discouraged by the long line and cramped seating. Sushi Dai's space is nice and cozy and their sushi is definitely worth it! Expect to pay about 45 USD.

Sumo



Sumo is a Japanese style of wrestling and Japan's national sport.
The basic rules of sumo are simple: The wrestler who either first touches the floor with something else than his sole or leaves the ring before his opponent, loses. The fights themselves usually last only a few seconds and in rare cases up to one minute or longer.
Right on the photography is Kaloyan Mahlyanov from Bulgaria. He has made a name for himself in Japan as Kotooshu.
Kaloyan is first European to win sumo wrestling's coveted Emperor's Cup.
