Fish markets in Tokyo

The fish markets in Tokyo kick off at 4am. Naturally we didn't make it until they were about to close! But we were determined to see them, because DH needed to find the best sushi in the world.

We did find some amazing sushi (and other things of which I couldn't read the names), and had a real feast at a nearby restaurant. It was really, really yummy. And all before 10am!

As people entered the restaurant, the maitre d' announced a new arrival, and we heard a loud greeting from the entire floor of staff and customers. The same for our departure. I was sad we didn't understand more Japanese, but I guess you can't learn every language under the sun. We had a smile on our faces as we left, that's for sure.


This was the view out the window of the restaurant...

Yes, that is a giraffe sticking out the side of the building.
