You're probably right, and I debated between putting Towa in the mid tier or the mid-top tier. After some deliberation I settled on mid-tier for a few reasons:
1) Their sushi is gimmicky and non-traditional. While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, I think the size of the sushi hurts small groups, because you can't try a variety without being filled up fast. If you're dining with a bigger group, it becomes easier to order different items.
2) Their nigiri sushi is expensive. You get bigger pieces, but the difference isn't enough to justify double the price in some cases (Unagi).
3) Their rice is average. The biggest factor in determining good sushi needs to be rice first, fish second. I feel Towa falls short of some of the other listed places in the rice category.
4) I haven't been there in a while, so my opinion is probably skewed a little bit. I'm eating there tomorrow night and I will probably be reminded of how tasty it is.
