Breakfast at Tsukji fish market


Because school is starting again next week and our days will be filled with studying, we decided to have a delicious Japanese breakfast before the spring vacation was over. So we woke up early and headed to Tsukiji fish market to find ourselves a nice restaurant for the perfect breakfast.

Tsukiji is a big fish market, where it is very busy with sellers and buyers of fish. You see lots of men driving around on 'standing cars', in order to transport the sold fish. You have to be careful when walking through the fish market to get to the various restaurants located at the side of the market. There are really lots of shops selling sushi and sashimi meals, it is a treat just to look around the different restaurants trying to decide on a place to eat! Some places are really popular and will have a big queue lined up in front of the store (or even continuing on the other side of the street!)

We chose a nice restaurant (with only a little queue) where they served our favourite fish meals: a salmon and tuna sashimi bowl served with sushi rice, pickles and miso-soup! It was really delicious, and the best raw fish meals we have ever tried. We would love to get here more often to try the different meal.
