Day 33 - Mar 24 2010 - Tsukiji Fish Market Breakfast

Day 33 - Mar 24 2010 - Tsukiji Fish Market Breakfast

For those of you unaware of the Tsukiji Fish Market, it is considered a very famous spot in Japan for viewing the fresh fish coming in off the ships before they make their way to your favorite seafood restaurants around the world. It is the largest wholesale and fish market in the world.

We met our friend, Kazuhisa Inaba, and a couple of his colleagues from work at the fish market for the freshest sushi breakfast in the world. He prefers to visit the market for breakfast once a month on Wednesdays as the traffic in the market is very light and he can get in and out quickly and to work on time. Yann and I met him at 8am and we only had to wait 20-25 min to begin our fresh fish feast. The concept of eating such fresh fish that early in the morning was so intriguing to me I was unconcerned with actually having to eat sushi, mostly reserved for dinner and sometimes lunch, as my breakfast meal. Our breakfast was so delicious and so fresh, it seemed very natural to eat such delicacies at that time of the day. I devoured the breakfast so fast, I failed to take many pics of all our food, but I promise to take more next month!
