Tsukiji Fish Market/ “Somethin' smells fishy and I don't know what/ But I got a hunch it's your lady”

One of the biggest tourist attractions in Tokyo is the Tsukiji Fish Market. They have auctions for 1,000 lb tuna which go for 1,000’s of bucks. Crazy.

We got there around 4, because that’s when the auctions start. We find a cop to get the exact location. He tells us, but when we get to the front, it’s closed off to tourists for a month. He didn’t tell us that. Bitch. Major beeyotch. So we take the first train back to the hotel and sleep for a couple more hours.

Then we go back later in the morning and eat the best sushi I’ve ever had. All maguro. Seared, semi-toro, full toro. Plus we got this shrimp head miso soup. I named mine pinky.
