Daikichi Sushi

It’s often maligned by more sophisticated sushi lovers but in the world of Supermarket Sushi Daikichi Sushi in the Mitsuwa Marketplace is worlds apart! Other take out sushi found in many ethnic/​gourmet supermarkets falls short on quality across the board with soggy nori, dried out rice, questionable fish, bad wasabi and that ever present pink ginger.
Daikichi is a sort of catering service and not simply some employee trained to roll up basic offerings and slap them in a plastic container with bamboo graphics. This sushi is of course still best eaten as soon as it’s stocked in the cooler, the eyes need to be used in making a choice rather than being stuck on one particular menu selection. It appears they make sushi in two major waves, first is at opening (9:30 am) and the second is around noon for the grab and go lunch crowd. Later in the day they slow production and begin to discount the remainder.
The selection is varied and seasonal, my personal favorite here is either the Toro Maki or Sake Maki (under $ 6 for two). Futo maki, Temaki, Uramaki, Inari and Nigiri sushi are readily available in the chiller. It’s been my personal experience that they don’t do requests and the workers seem a bit unengaging but the product is solid and priced well. Party platters are available ranging in price from 25 – 55 dollars here’s a link to the menu
The wasabi is unfortunately prepackaged but of good quality however you can buy small cups of it when available right in the case. If you cant find soy sauce or chopsticks ask the casher.
Go easy on the bluefin tuna!
