A trip to the market, Tsukiji Market

A taste experience at the fish market is a must for the tokyo traveller (or so everyone I spoke to told me) and so we decided to start the day there. It's not often I have a fish breakfast which consists of such items as:
- scallops with sea urchins (flamed to finish)
- various fruit and nut tasters
- tuna skewers
- bbq squid skewers
- local eel skewers

The eel was really good and surprisingly our favourite of all. While not a standard breakfast it was a great way to start the day. The key to enjoying the market is avoiding being run over by the many vehicles in the narrow streets.

Tsukiji Market (築地市場, Tsukiji Shijō) is a large wholesale market for fish, fruits and vegetables in central Tokyo. It is the most famous of over ten wholesale markets that handle the distribution of fish, meat, produce and flowers in Tokyo. Tsukiji Market is best known as one of the world's largest fish markets, handling over 2,000 tons of marine products per day. Okumaya devam et
