Best Dishes at Daiwa Sushi

Lean tuna serves as the palate-setter, traditionally served early in omakase. The bright red colour and delicate flavour showcase the quality of the fish from that morning's auction. This baseline establishes the standard for what follows.

Often included as the 8th piece or available as an add-on. The scallop's natural sweetness is highlighted by its freshness. One reviewer called it superb, indicating it's worth ordering if not already included.

The signature piece at Daiwa. Because the fish is auctioned that morning, the otoro has exceptional freshness and marbling. Reviewers consistently say the tuna literally melts in your mouth. This is why people queue at 6 AM.

The uni is notably creamy and sweeter than typical Tokyo options. Its quality reflects the freshness advantage of shopping at the market before opening hours. Reviewers note it rivals uni from much more expensive restaurants.

The sweet tamagoyaki serves as the traditional ending to an omakase course, followed by warm miso soup. These signal the meal's completion. The soup provides warmth and umami after the delicate sushi pieces.
