Tsukiji is still the best area to taste the fresh and high quality seafood products, especially Sushi and Donburi (seafood on rice bowl) dishes.

Today, I have picked best Sushi restaurants in Tsukiji area, serving amazing quality Sushi dishes, but pretty affordable (under $30 (3,000 yen)), but offer amazing quality.
