Sushi Uogashi Nihonichi — Restaurant in Tokyo

I love eating fancy and expensive sushi as much as the next guy but sometimes I just need some old school standup sushi. This is one next to my usual hotel. The restaurant is mostly local I rarely see tourists so there is limited English but the picture menu and pointing at what you want is more than suffice. If your looking for simple, cheap sushi, and have 15 minutes to spare before you explore the rest of Tokyo drop by Uogashi Nihon-ichi.

Also, they have never given me frozen fish, unlike some other restaurants at this price point. It didn't seem overly busy when I went there on a weekday at 1pm, or on a Friday night at 9pm.
