quote of the day
We hope to build a place that presents the appeal of Japanese cuisine to the Olympic athletes, as well as the tourists coming to watch the Olympic Games.

Given how Japan normally does "mega tourist complexex" i suspect it will offer a pretty lame and not good quality Japanese cuisine to the Olympic athletes and tourists. and yes the queues will be horrific.

I hope people don't come all the way to Tokyo to stand in line for 4 hours to eat sushi and miss the games.
