I've had some sushi back in the US, but not much.  A friend 
took me to a place near the Ueno Kesei trainstation that was 
far better than anything I've had in the states.  It wasn't 
one of the fancy places and sushi was only 130 yen per 
plate.  namu beer was only 500 yen.  It was less expensive 
and far better than anything I've had before.

I don't know if there's anything to it, but my friend said 
"Eat the Ginger.  It cleans the pallet and is supposed to 
help prevent parasites."

A friend sent this link proporting to be "the truth about 
Japanese Restaurants" that I found to be quite funny.
