We were on a mding articles and blogs on the internet and found that we should've waited in line to try Sushi Dai. I was dubious as to how much better sushi could be after we had caught benito and kingfish previously in Narooma in Australia ourselves on a fishing trip and the fact that the blogs had warned of long waiting lines. In addition to that they are open from 5:30am till only 2pm. Were we going to make it?
To add insult to an already wary mind it was raining and there is not enough awning to wait underneath the line. We were there from ission to go back to Tsukiji fish markets to try Sushi Dai. After our first trip we were rea8:30am (we couldn't be bothered waking up early again). But we were wrong. There was already a line underneath their awning (which is about an hour wait from there) but also a line around the corner of the building in the rain. It poured and we waited underneath our umbrellas all us tourists watching for people to not to push in line underneath the awning without knowing that us poor people in the rain were also waiting for the same place.
So we waited in sans- awning line for about 1 1/2 and finally we were getting somewhere and got underneath the coveted awning where we could see satisfied and happy people eating, chatting and taking their time (cause we'd all waited at least 2 hours to get in there). There was no turning back from here. We weren't going to turn away now we were so close....We decided to go without the "set menu" and we wanted to order a la carte. We befriended other tourists and chatted and finally after 2 and 3/4 hours of waiting at 11:50am we were in!
