This trip, we went to Tsukiji market ( Tsukiji Market January 17, 2009 )early in the morning.
Be careful of these guys going around in these motorized things! They just come out and move so fast
People lining up for the restaurants
Finally we get a seat! The restaurants are so small so it can only fit around 10 to 12 – so we got in as customers finished until we finally filled up the place
You can never get prices this cheap in regular japanese restaurants…
The chef lays a leaf in front of you where he will put all your orders
This was the most popular order of the family – Around US$7.00 for a piece of Otoro. Mom says that is already cheap and you cannot get it at that price anywhere else. So you can imagine how the family just ordered it!! 🙂
Heart2Heart is not really a sashimi eater so I ate the safe one which was cooked – the unagi 🙂 YUMMY!
I am happy my sons are adventurous and eat sushi and sashimi 🙂

WOW !!! =) Will definitely try this next week !!! =)
Hi Rica. What time did you go to the fish market itself, and what time did you line up for breakfast? Need to schedule for this early morning for my Tokyo trip! Thanks!
Hi NYCMama! We arrived at around 7:30 am. The rest fo the family had arrived a little earlier and lined up already. My Dad and Mom just took us to the same place they went to with their friends before. Then right after breakfast, we went to the fresh market- very busy!
Thank you for doing such an extensive feature on Japan! It has been my dream to go there and with your very candid, well documented, and open (Love the fact that you feature the sashimi even if you are not a fan of it!) articles, it feels like I’m actually there! I will definitely use this as reference when I get there!
