Tsukiji Fish Market

First up is Tsukiji Fish Market. It is one of the most interesting and exciting places I`ve ever been to. Mainly because there are tonnes of tiny 3 wheeled truck-like vehicles zooming everywhere, really fast as if there aren`t any obstacles in their way. I was mortified at their lack of traffic codes and amazed at their skill at handling the trucks. No one was hurt during those terrifying minutes I had there. It sure beats riding on a roller coaster any day.

Tsukiji gives of an impression of a well oiled Fish City where everyone knows their job well and sets of doing their fishy chores daily. Starts as early as 3am according to a Sushi chef there. The bright lights, the action, the odour of the sea mixed with the mornings scent, the bloody fish guts and the boisterous chatter. A trip to Tokyo is really and truly not complete without a trip to Tsukiji.






After all the gore and grime. Meet the product of the worlds biggest fish market. Marvelous fresh orgasmic out of this world sushi. You know ppl always say Hokkaido has the best seafood. Well, I`ve tried it and I tell you Tsukiji has the BEST SEAFOOD period. Hokkaido has the best Crab. Tsukiji has fish so fresh they melt in your mouth. Has hardly any stink and you can just tell its fresh by the way it glistens in the light, inviting you to pop in in your mouth. Now I leave you to have a quite moment salivating and plotting to visit Tsukiji as soon as possible.
