Tsukiji, Sushi Heaven!

Hi everyone. I hope you all had a great summer! It’s starting to get very cold here in Tokyo. I’m actually more of a winter person, so I look forward to the cold weather. So last weekend I went to Tsukiji with Emilie and Natacha, her friend from Paris! I got to hear a lot of sexy french. Just hearing them speak french to each other was extremely soothing.

According to Wikipedia, “Tsukiji is the biggest wholesale fish and seafood market in the world and also one of the largest wholesale food markets of any kind.” The tuna is auctioned early in the morning, so I had to wake up at 4am that day! Anyhow here are the photos.

There were so many carts. I thought I was going to get hit.
