The best standing-only sushi in Tokyo

Although the past few decades have seen sushi secure its place in the hallowed halls of global haute cuisine, there's no forgetting its Edo-era fast food roots. Served at street stalls and hole-in-the-wall haunts, nigirizushi was originally meant as a quick bite, often eaten on the run.
