tokyo #2 - tsukiji fish market

below is a bunch of sea creatures photos that you might or might not eat.

but this is tsukiji after all,

the biggest wholesale fish and seafood market in the world.

tsukiji is absolutely fascinating.

you have to go watch videos on youtube to capture the wonders of it.

other than what you can see,

the market does not smell fishy or smelly of any kind.

tsukiji's moving to toyosu in november 2016.

so the next time i'll be in tokyo, there will be no more tsukiji.

it can cut through bones.

turret trucks everywhere

they would queue for hours, these people.

i got into one that didn't take hours.
also because they had english menu.
cup was cute.

1800 yen is roughly RM60+. per bowl.

mine came with lots of chunky tuna, few slices of salmon, and raw squid.

full house

also on the other part of the market, they sell fruits and dry product.
spot the white strawberries!

things like souvenirs..

this is where you come in.
had a guide at front handing out tsukiji maps.

if you have plenty of time to explore tokyo,

please explore tsukiji before they relocate.

it was an awesome experience :)
