Sushi in Tokyo: Sushitsune (Atre, Ueno Station 2F)

I was searching for a Sushi restaurant around Ueno station before heading to the Airport, and I stumble upon this gem.

The restaurant I found, called Sushitsune, is located on the 2nd floor of the [Atre building](http://www.atre.co.jp/shop/index.php?sid=423&scd=7) in Ueno Station. Ueno station is the main Tokyo line that connects to Narita Airport, so there is a good chance that many of you will be passing through this station.

Just be careful as the airport line is in a neighboring building of the Atre building. They are many sushi restaurants around this station that are top notch, so it is recommended to explore. If you are curious about the prices, make sure to look at the menu posted outside of the restaurants.

## Now to the Sushi

What can I say, the sushi from Sushitsune was immensely terrific and the price is amazingly cheap as compared to the States. The lunch feast came to 18.00 USD. It's all about Nigiri sushi! Nigiri-style sushi is more common in Japan than the Maki rolls you usually find in Western countries.
