Andrew, dress codes in Japan are pretty relaxed unless you eat – i wore jeans – though there are always some yakuza-looking fellows w/ shiny suits there. Yes on credit cards. I don’t remember Japan tipping protocol tbh – i assume no but maybe ask your hotel’s concierge.

I will be eating here next week. 3 questions, what is the dress code?Do they accept credit cards? Should one tip at this restaraunt or is a service charge included?

Looks fantastic Chuck!

I will put Masa back in my mind next time in Tokyo, hopefully it can be in a near future….
You must go to Sushi Saito, i loved my lunch and can only image how great a long seating at night would be. I had some really nice pieces at Sushi Shintaro too but that was on my way to Kanesaka so his on my list for dinner next time. I think all of above was better then Mizutani and can recommend them all..

You were right about Ryugin , i just can´t find my pictures…..

What camera or lens do you use now chuck? The pictures is crisp and juicy!

Hi Chuck,

I am a big fan of your work. I was wondering if you might have seen the Channel 4 UK film “The End of the Line” or the recent Oscar winner “The Cove”. Each offers a frightening picture of Japan’s relationship with fish, at least as far as their bureaucracy and fishing management is concerned. In the international fishing community Japan stands alone on many issues, from their support of some whaling to their determination to make tuna fishing limits as large as possible. Both films are worth watching. I was wondering if you happen to discuss fishing polcies with any of the chefs or local food people while you were there.
