Let's go to Tsukiji!
Japan is relentlessly interesting and delicious! Michael and I could spend the rest of our lives here, become fluent in 日本語 (Japanese language), get rich, and still die blissfully happy. We could eat sushi everyday and still we won't begin to scratch the surface of it because THERE'S SO MUCH variety of it. Let me take you to Tsukiji, the world renown fish market in Tokyo.
We had a whole new world to explore once we had shrugged off the jet lag. We bolted from our hotel room ready to hunt in this new place called Tsukiji. Lucky for us, this world-famous seafood bazaar was only a hundred meters from our hotel!
Michael exclaimed, "I can eat breakfast like this everyday," while watching me stuff my seafood hole with seafood! I could easily join him in such a daily breakfast!
That morning, we gorged ourselves on that morning's catch of seafood. Alas, we managed to get one of the last glimpses of the Tsukiji fish market. A month after we feasted on its succulent buffet of seafood, the market moved from Tsukiji to a new site in Tokyo. The old market site will initially become a parking lot for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic. If we are lucky we might just be able to see the new fish market in the future as we are still on the go and making seafood-stops when necessary.
