Tsukiji

My first order of the day was to get some breakfast. Tsukiji Fish Market is an easy monorail and subway ride from Haneda. As this was Sunday, the inner market was closed, but the outer market was very much alive and kicking, with the exception of the two most famous sushi restaurants which are closed on Sundays.

I wandered around, settled on a semi-busy sushi restaurant, and ordered an assortment of nigiri sushi. I was hungry and I devoured the delicious sushi. After that, I wandered around, purchased from a streetside stall a blowtorched combination of scallop, uni (sea urchin), and crab claw served on a large scallop shell, and then had some miso soup made from crab stock. Both these snacks were truly amazing. I then topped off my brunch with some strawberry ice cream. I couldn't get myself to order the whitebait ice cream on offer.
