The visit to Tsukiji Fish Market was really one of the highlights of my trip to Tokyo so I thought it deserved its own post. Where else can you see dudes zipping around in these crazy R2D2-looking little trucks carting around giant frozen tuna? And where else can you eat the absolute best sushi you’ve ever had in your life? Click on the beautiful slab of maguro below for the full story.
hey all this is part of a message from my friend Minori (the tofu eating champ):
“Did you know that the crazy Tokyo governor Ishihara (very very
conservative and I hate him) is now trying to move the Tsukiji Market
to the outer part of Tokyo and it is now found that the part is
chemically polluted. Most of the Tsukiji workers are opposed to the
idea especially after the finding. Plus, if they get moved, the
restaurants surrounding the market (including the sushi place you
went) have to move out too. So there’s some political issue going on
there too.”
