If you are a traveler and you want to try fresh and authentic sushi in this "sushi country", you might worry about the cost. You don't want to miss the good opportunity to have very delicious food by being too economical while traveling, but you also have a budget.So Kaiten-zushi , literally means "rotation sushi" should be your option.

A Foodie’s Guide to Tokyo: Are you looking for fresh sashimi assortments and a nice place to enjoy sake or alcohol? Uokin is the place for you!

If you feel like trying something very Japanese in Tokyo, you should go to an Izakaya. It is a kind of Japanese pub with various selections of food. It's not posh, but Izakaya must be a good place for you to discover Japanese lifestyle and food culture. Today, I want to specifically recommend Izakaya "Uokin (魚金）".

Want to explore around HANEDA Airport a bit for your long transit? Ramen/ Tonkatsu

You will have to kill your long time for transit in Haneda airport. Or you will stay nearby due to the flight schedule? If you are tired of "tourist attractions" and are curious about a different part of real Japanese society, getting out of the Airport and exploring around Haneda - Kamata is a good option. I am very local to Haneda, I can tell the good foods around there!
