Intensive Cooking Course Day1

Another round of Intensive cooking course starts again. This time we started out with a visit to the Tsukiji Fish Market and Kappa Bashi Shopping Street. It was an extremely hot day but It's always so fascinating to go to  the Tsukiji Fish Market. 
The inner market is open to visitors only from 11 am, so we couldn't really get to see too much but at least you can see how vast the place is and so much seafood sold in a day! Next time I will tell them I'm there to shop so we can get in earlier.  

After lunch, we headed for the Kappa Bashi Dougugai (Cooking Utensil Shopping Street).  I usually come here to get the wagashi tools as you cannot get them anywhere else. This time I got a couple of sets of cooking chopsticks at Hashitou.

We finished off the tour by stopping by one of Tokyo's oldest sweets shop, Umezono to eat the Matcha Anmitsu.
