Tsukiji Fish Market

The other day, we went to the Tsukiji Fish Market. Despite living in Tokyo for decades, I've only visited there maybe once or twice. I went with my Japanese cooking teacher and she showed us around and I managed to pick up a few useful things as well as a nice block of tuna as this place is not just for buying fish.

In the outer market, there are a lot of food stalls selling noodles and sushi and donburi (Rice bowls) and they all looked tempting! The stalls are open from early morning but the inner market is open to tourists and visitors from 9 am. You can get fresh seafood and fish at a very low price. 


I'm already thinking about going back to get some more fresh fish!
