Tsukiji Fish Market

In Golden Week I went to Tsukiji Fish Market for the first time. Of course I have been to Tsukiji many times before, especially when I lived in Tokyo. But for some reason, I had never been to the market.

It was a rainy day so I didn't look around so much, but I did have the best sushi I have ever eaten! We chose a restaurant at random, and the one we entered, Sushizanmai, was more of a real restaurant rather than a place for a quick, cheap lunch.

Here is our lunch, plus I had miso soup. The cost was about 4, 500y for the two of us, which was reasonable considering the wonderful quality. The sea urchin that you can see in the bottom right corner just melted in the mouth :)

Be sure to go to Tsukiji next time you are in Tokyo!
