What's Available @ Ohedo Ueno Nigohten (活魚大江戸上野2号店)

Katsugyo Ohedo Ueno Nigohten is a restaurant catering to working-class patrons, of whom I am one. It's located in the Ameyoko shopping district in Ueno, Tokyo, between Keisei Ueno Station and Metro Ueno Station. Everything is available for 140 yen for two pieces of nigiri, which is US$1.26 ($1=111 yen as of April 26). While there are so many tourist traps in Central Tokyo, this place never lets you down, whether you are a self-acclaimed foodie, or just a sushi novice.
From right: katsuo or bonito, and kawahagi or leather jacket topped with its own liver, ground ginger and chopped green onion.

Tako kyuban or octopus suckers.

Shitakiri or round clam served in 'gunkan' or battleship style with dried nori seaweed wrapped around nigiri.
