On Tuesday morning I went to Tsukiji before going to work to check out the wholesale fish market. I had to wake up at 4:00 in the morning in order to catch the first train at 5:08 am. Unfortunately the live fish auctions had already ended before I had got there-- they apparently start at 5 in the morning. Nevertheless there was still plenty of interesting sights, sounds, and especially smells to take in.
I have never seen so much raw fish and seafood in my life and it all looked so amazingly good. It's hard to believe that the market is that busy every morning. The amount of fish that is available for wholesale is sufficient enough to feed the entire country. I think I`m going to have to go back one day with a bottle of soy sauce in one hand and a pair of chopsticks in the other!
