Tsukiji market

Jet lag on the first day in Tokyo was tough. At 4 am I still didn’t feel like sleeping, so being awake early in the morning was a great opportunity to visit the Tsukiji market. What I saw there was mindblowing, the most impressive market I have ever seen. Huge stands with all kinds of fishes and, in the back, the famous tuna fish auction. Tourists were not allowed to enter the auction, but I took some snapshots from outside.

After observing the auction, we went to eat sushi in the nearby sushi restaurant. I have never had sushi for the breakfast, but the fish was so fresh and good that I didn’t have that “fishy” taste after eating sushi at 6 o’clock in the morning…
