Honolulu Izakaya
Which is the best? I haven't been out much in several years. Used to like Nonbei back in the day.
Sushi Izakaya Gaku gets lots of good reviews. If you had to pick one, where would it be and why?

Someplace that a reservation might be gotten at last minute and would be a likely wow meal?
my old favorite haunt gone
Sasashu (笹周) was always my favorite place to take a bite in Tokyo
Not at all fancy, (even a bit shabby), the food not over the top but always somehow just right, the sake incomparable, and it felt like home.
Now these 2 years since it has gone, I have struggled to find something as settling.
A fools game for sure, as there is never going back...
any recommendations from those who knew Sasashu ?
How reliable or useful are big food review sites like Tabelog
I find in the US that Yelp is most often wrong, although if you can identify a group of reviewers whose taste you trust you can use the site to some benefit.
Is Tablelog the same ?
Any good english review sites people trust. I used to think bento was ok but now not so.
I am in Tokyo.
Cafe Recommendations for Tokyo AM
Good place to spend some time, people watch and hopefully enjoy some decent coffee between Shinjuku and Shinagawa preferably not a chain?
Wifi would be ideal but rare i know
Tokyo Fish market tour
Sushi Dai is imediately next to Daiwa Sushi
Daiwa operates out of two stalls, Dai one so the wait is longer at Dai
both are great especially for the $. SImilar fish elsewhere would cost 2-3 times more imo
"Best Sushi" in Tokyo
that last comment about the relationship between the itamae and the customer is the most important one and sadly the one most difficult for foreigners to access the pleasure of. the best sushi i have eaten was in large measure do an an exceptional itamae, who made me feel for a couple of hours like a king...all of the best places have great fish and rice..the ambience can very wildly...
