Sushi at Tsukiji

Tsukiji has many sushi spots. Some have waits of up to 4-5 hours so our tour guide pointed us to this one which was more hidden and away from the main bustle of the outer market. Was super old school but the staff was very warm and accommodating after our guide made a warm intro for us.

Ordered omakase and a few extras after. Everything came out quickly and was of very high quality. No fancy presentations or ingredients. Just rice, fish, and wasabi.

Tsukiji Fish Market Tour

We took a tour of the Tsukiji Fish Market today. Was taken around by our tour guide, The Tsukiji King. Very informative tour and very easy going guide.


Saw a bunch of stuff for sale. Not as well known is that Tsukiji sells a bunch of non-seafood items like fruits and veggies.

Japanese hotel breakfast

We're staying at a budget hotel but you wouldn't know it by the breakfast buffet. Great selection including curry rice, salt grilled mackerel, and little clam miso soup. Service is impeccable. Wanted to eat more but we are on the way to Tsukiji Market for a guided tour and sushi lunch.
