10/6/12 - Up early and we're off via the Subway to none other than....Tsukiji Fish Market!  This is definitely the highlight of our trip.  Seafood everywhere, odd dishes, which George & Ryan tasted (I'm not that adventurist!), such as whale meat.  Both of them said, ok, we tried it and YUCK!  In George's words it tasted like fishy, fishy, thick oil!  Can't be good! 

 

 

Here's one of the many ramen shops down at Tsukiji Market!  Yum.  The only thing is you cannot sit and enjoy your meal, like I normally do.  You have to eat fast and that's probably why they slurp their noodles so much.  It's hot and you have to eat fast....Why, you may ask?  Well, there's a line of people waiting for your seat and the owner wants you to hurry so they can make money.  One ramen cost 600 yen which equates to approximately $7 to $8, comparable to Hawai'i prices.  I'll be back!

 

 

We visited this shop pretty much every day.  They had an assortment of fish items.  We tried this fish cake ball with edamame.  That was good!  We also tried a sardine fish pattie and that was yummy too!  We also tried their deep fried tako....yummy, yummy, yummy!

My absolute favorite place to go!.....Tsukiji Fish Market!

We need something like this here in Hawai'i, down at Fisherman's Wharf!

 

This is a shop that sells knives.  I'm sure George would have wanted one but it would probably get confiscated when we go through customs.  This guy was concentrating on sharpening his knives.  There were a few of these shops in and around the market area.

 

Here's a shop that sold a variety of musubi's.  Unfortunately, we preferred the sashimi bowls & the ramen.  Looked 'ono but too much rice wasn't a good idea after all we had a full day ahead of us.

 

 

Breakfast of champions!  Yummy, yummy, yummy, I got love in my tummy!  The fish is so fresh, the rice is flavored just right and the fish eggs was so 'ono topped off with the shisho leaf which added that extra taste/touch! 

 

 

Now that we're done with our breakfast, we're off to do some touring.

 

Back to the Subway and we're off to Asakusa.
