Somewhere called Tsukiji

Zoom Zoom...

...in the Mighty Car

The calm before the storm

コンビニ - Tsukiji style

Without me, you are nothing

Don't forget the gloves

Tools of the trade

Tools of a Ninja?

Mafia wars

Dead fish - Do you know what that means?

On the way...

...to meet the maker

Sweet mamamia

After all that cutting...

...and scraping

Ready for the next

Slippery ones

Flowers of the sea

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go

Butter them up

The fresh ones

The frozen ones

Laid out in full glory

Poke poke, slice slice

Smack that booty

The price is right

Saw 6


Dreaming of the seafood


Looking Pimped selling fish

寿司大 at Tsukiji

Let me in........please. Someone in the queue mentioned he once waited 3 hours just to get in.

The stall sits about 12 people and the chef will put the sushi on this small table infront of you.

This is actually the best yakitamago I have eaten.

Anago, the cousin of Unagi


The touch of spring onions really helped enchance the taste of this paticular fish.

This is not brain, but it is just a bunch of shrimps together.




Uni or sea urchin is in season now. Creamy and yummy.

Some sushi like the flounder has already been seasoned, so the chef will tell you not to add soy sauce to it. Make sure you dont, or the chef will get flustered.



Otoro, Fatty tuna.

Scallop so big, it is covering the rice.

The seafood is definately fresh since the Tsukiji Fish market is like 5 mins walk away. But even better, the rice is actually very good.

Tsukiji and GInza

We decided to go try some very fresh seafood at Tsukiji Fish market. The selling time is about 6am, which also means we cannot make it in time. The place is pretty interesting with very fresh and decent priced seafood. I had a mix seafood meal which cost about $11. We saw many interesting sights like huge fish head, crabs etc.

We took a short walk to Ginza; a place where all the branded goods are. The main streets are closed and people can walk freely. Stores usually do not just have a shop; the retailing outlet usually spans a few levels. I heard there is a huge Sony and a departmental store, but I did not manage to visit as we did not have a long time at Ginza.





There is a very interesting toy store. They were selling a toy which replicates the sound and feeling you get from bursting a bubble wrap. Only in Japan can you get such a product. There was a gadget you wear on a wrist and you can pretend you are playing the air guitar. A few other interesting toys which is worth a look.


We were all looking for winter wear and thus ended up at Zara. Prices were pretty decent and there were more choices I think.
