If at some point you start to consider going to visit Japan, one of the highlights of going there is actually the food. They have a rich food culture that has spread out to all corners of the world. Sushi can be found in practically every city and town throughout the UK and the rest of the developed world, and its appeal seems to be widespread too, but there is something special about tasting sushi made from the source of the cuisine; Japan.

Sushi is a type of cuisine that typically is made from rice, seaweed and fish. There is an incredible number of specialist sushi stores throughout Japan, some which specialise in the higher end side of sushi, while others are more mass-market. For those who frequent yo-sushi and other sushi chains here in the UK, the mass market chains in Japan will be very reminiscent, but the top quality sushi establishments come from a background of generations of producing top-quality sushi.

One of the options to find these great quality sushi establishments is to look at a Michelin guide, but one of the great ones that you can go to in Tokyo is Ichibancho Teruya, where the Chef speaks English. If the language barrier is intimidating for you, you may prefer to stick to conveyor belt sushi restaurants, although that is pretty standard (yet cheap) fair.
