Tsujiki Fish Market, Shibuya

Sushi for breakfast? lol love it!

sunny

  • Tsujiki Fish Market - walked down to the market from our hotel around 7am (10 mins) and it was quite a sight. We didn't get to see the tuna auction (its been recently closed to the public) but we did get to have the biggest sushi breakfast we've ever had. Seriously, the pieces were huge and some new pieces were horse mackerel and red clam. A nice bottle of sake in the morning also hit the spot..

  • Took the Ginza line to Shibuya and this place is THE place for the young and trendy of Tokyo (try Shibuya 109 store, common style though there were millions, short shorts and black knee-high stockings, dresses with black tights underneath..). Shibuya crossing is definitely a sight to see/experience and it was just cool to watch from the 2nd floor Starbucks all the people crossing in all different directions before the light turned red.

  • Shibuya has a million different stores/designers and it was very easy to see why this place is the place to go to see the latest fashions..on the racks and on the streets. Department stores had a ton of one-of-a-kind designers on several different floors..overwhelming to say the least.

  • The BAPE store was pretty cool.

  • 300ml bottle of sake at the corner store was 3.71CDN..love it.

  • Dinner at Gonpachi in Nishi-Azawa (near Roppongi subway exit), not too bad, caters mainly to foreigners looking for that izakaya-style feel. Waitress spoke the best english so far..a big difference from the last places we went where it was no english spoken. Checked out ALife bar/lounge after..super weak, hardly anyone there and they were plying 90s old school rnb jams..

Onto Osaka in the morning!
