There are two Edogin sushi restaurants in Tsukiji, both within walking distance of one another. Since they're close to the famous fish market, you can be sure that the fish will be fresh. There's nothing aesthetic about the main Edogin, first established about 80 years ago -- the lights are bright, it's packed with the locals, and it's noisy and busy. It's particularly crowded during lunch- and dinnertime because the food is dependably good and plentiful. The menu is in Japanese only, but an illustrated menu outside displays some of the set meals, with most prices ¥3,700 ($31/£16) or less. There are also sushi platters for ¥1,600 to ¥4,200 ($13-$35/£6.70-£18). As an alternative, look at what the people around you are eating or, if it's lunchtime, order the teishoku (served until 2pm). The nigiri-zushi teishoku for ¥1,050 ($8.70/£4.40) offers a variety of sushi, along with soup and pickled vegetables; if you're really hungry, a more plentiful nigiri-zushi teishoku is available for ¥1,470 ($12/£6.15).
