One of our last major events on this trip was a visit to the Tsujiki fish markets. It is here that each morning the tuna auctions are held where massive tuna are sold. After some incidents with tourists in the past this part of the market is now closed (probably a blessing as the auction is at around 5am) however there is still the outer market to explore. In a warren of alleys and stalls all sorts of foods and cooking related items can be found.
There is no better way to follow a trip to the fish markets than to go and make your own sushi. A completely delicious experience the end results is a certification in sushi making. However we had nothing on the sushi chef teaching us. From a flurry of rice, fish and hands emerges a whole plate in under 60 seconds!
