tsukiji

day 33
tsukiji fish market is legendary. and truly, it is.



most of you who have heard of tsukiji will think of tuna.






but tsukiji is a big place.






a really big place. and there's a whole lot of fish in the sea...


































































back to the tuna. that's a $1500 knife. i know, because we tried to buy one. wouldn't fit in the luggage tho.





















these hand carts aren't so prevalent anymore...






...because they ride around on these washing machines instead.






there's a produce market next door, which is also massive. but it gets overshadowed by the fish. and rightly so.











that's $200 for one wasabi root.






the market opens at 5am, and after hours of mind numbing wandering amongst the fish, you need breakfast. this was stella's.






that's mine. i guess i don't have to mention it was fresh.






and uni for vincent.
