19.7.10


Tsukiji Fish Market was another place in Tokyo that I had never been to previous to this recent trip.  Too bad that we were too full to try the fresh and cheaper sushi out at the market. We should not have eaten so much at the izakaya. However if we had not stayed up at the izakaya, we probably would not have been able to go early in the morning in the first place.  It felt a bit surreal to be there after staying up all night drinking, then you get to see the people who probably get up at the latest at 3 in the morning to start day at the busiest market in the world.

This is a typical view of the market. It is quite similar looking to the Noryangjin Fish Market in Seoul. But they seem to have mostly men working there in Tokyo unlike the one in Seoul.
It's all about the TUNAS there.  I guess they do not allow outsiders during the auctions.
I might buy a box of sea urchins next time I go there and make a fancy Unidon!

Will saying hello to the ladies at the fish market.
