Day One in Tokyo, Japan! Read all about things to do in Japan at \r
\r
This is my first time in Japan, and today included a Tokyo apartment tour from my Airbnb in the Sendagaya District. \r
\r
From there I walked through a traditional Shinto Shrine called Hatonomori Hachiman Shrine in Sendagaya. \r
\r
Next it was time to discover the famous Harajuku district of Tokyo, where fashion is a way of life and the crowds are endless. \r
\r
You can follow these crowds in Harajuku to Takeshita Dori or Takeshita Street where tourists come to see all the weird and wonderful aspects of (touristy) Japanese culture.\r
\r
Take a break from the madness with a traditional Japanese Food lunch, Ramen! My personal favorite is Tonkotsu style ramen which is pork bone broth.\r
\r
Next I try to find my way around the bustling Shinjuku Station, meet up with a friend, and walk through Memory Lane or Piss Alley in Shinjuku. \r
\r
From Shinjuku, head over to the busiest intersection in the world – Shibuya Crossing – where you get lost in the bright lights and busy crowds. \r
\r
Last but not least, finish the day with a delicious sushi dinner. \r
\r
If you are ever wondering what to do in Tokyo, this is a good start! A great first impression of Japan. \r

— About Tsukiji Fish Market —\r
I arrived at the Tsukiji Fish Market at 2:15am to reserve a spot for the Tuna Auction that takes place before the fish market opens. \r
\r
TUNA AUCTION\r
We are escorted across the Tsukiji Fish Market to a small doorway, which opens up into a huge warehouse filled with Tuna (maguro) and its buyers.\r
\r
The guys pace around the tuna, with a very methodical process. They examine a small piece of the tale, cut off for evaluation, and check its quality and fat content with a flashlight.\r
\r
Next, the tuna buyers break off small chunks of tale meat and rub it in their fingers to test its consistency and make up. \r
\r
Some even walk to another fish for inspection so they dont tip their interest to other buyers watching.\r
\r
\r
\r
\r
This is a very important process to get right as some of these massive fish can sell for up to 1.8 million US dollar – yes, that is the record to-date for a single fish sold here.\r
\r
Once everyone has picked their favorites, its time for the auctions to begin…\r
\r
Animated auctioneers yell out prices as stoic buyers calmly make their bids with aof hand gestures which represent numerical amounts.\r
\r
Multiple auctions happen simultaneously, both fresh and frozen Tuna are sold separately, so theres a battle between auctioneers to gain control of their own warehouse echoes. \r
\r
And when the dust clears, tunas are tagged and taken into the inner market to join all the other fish for distribution.\r
\r
\r
\r
\r
TSUKIJI INNER MARKET\r
The Tsukiji (SKI-GEE) Fish Market is the largest wholesale fish market in the world and the inside market or inner market is where all the wholesale business is done with restaurants, grocery stores, and other wholesalers. \r
\r
It is closed to the public before 9-10am, so if you want to go look around I recommend doing it after this time as the vendors will be much friendlier. \r
\r
TSUKIJI OUTER MARKET\r
The outer market is where all the consumer-friendly vendors are. Its an endless supply of Japanese cuisine and its components. \r
\r
They sell everything from giant raw oysters and grilled fish to knives and fruit. \r
\r
There is also a completely separate fruit and vegetable market next door. \r
\r
TSUKIJI FISH MARKKET – SUSHI RESTAURANTS\r
There are literally thousands of options in front of you, so determining where to eat can be an overwhelming task to tackle.\r
\r
First, and most obvious, are the long lines of the highly regarded, TripAdvisor recommended, foreign-friendly sushi places. The quality is top notch and the prices reflect that. \r
\r
Then theres the locally-known hot spots who boast similar lines, and equally as tasty offerings. \r
\r
Its really interesting to see some places with hour-long lines and then others right next door, completely empty. I wonder if its hype or is there a real difference in quality? I guess youd have to ask the guys at the tuna auction to really know for sure. \r
\r
Away from the long lines, down the back streets, are a million hidden gems with no lines, and serving up a very similar spread. \r
\r
I really think its hard to go wrong here, given the source is so close by. \r
\r
But, in my amateur opinion, if you really want the freshest, pure taste of sushi at the fish market – I highly recommend going directly to the vendors who are cutting up and selling the fish. \r
\r
I visited a street stall breaking down the highest quality tuna you can get (otoro), for a frion of the price as in restaurants.\r
\r
\r
\r

Thank you guys so much for watching the Tokyo Fish Market video, and if you have any questions, please leave a comment below.\r

TRAVEL DEEPER.

Choosing the Right Sushi Place – as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. Choosing best sushi place can be tricky because there are so many out there. But if you really want an authentic sushi experience, you would want to go to a place that has a seasonal menu because sushi uses seasonal fish and other ingredients. And also you should be able to ask chef where all those ingredients are coming from. If chef cannot answer, then you should wonder how authentic what they are serving. Price-wise: unfortunately, all the good ingredients in fresh seafood are expensive. So, if you do not think you are spending enough, then that might not be such a good place to go. And lastly, this is my personal experience, but if you see on the menu things like Fujiyama roll or Philadelphia roll or Geisha roll, then that might be an authentic place, either. But it is worth trying, and you will be the best judge, so please experiment and good luck.
