BREAKFAST AT TSUKIJI MARKET, Tokyo
It is unforgivable for not paying a visit to the Tsukiji Market before dawn to beat the tourist crowd when our hotel is only 10-minute walking distance from the world’s biggest fish market. After a quick stroll through the busy market, we stopped by a small eatery for a bowl of fresh chirashi [assorted sashimi on a bowl of sushi rice] for an early Japanese breakfast.

Any specific recommendations on a place to try? Did you enjoy the experience? I’ve been meaning to go after several repeat visits to Tokyo and just haven’t had time – but that will have to change soon!

The Tsukiji Market can be very crowded with tourists. We have actually been there twice. The first time was in the afternoon and most eateries had a very long queue. If you want to go for a nice sushi meal, you can probably find a better place somewhere else in the city. Daiwa Sushi is the place that some guidebooks recommended but we didn’t have a chance to try this time.

Great, thanks for the insights. I have been to Fukuzushi in the city, and it was the most amazing sushi I’ve had in a very long time. I’ll have to add Daiwa to the list and also at least visit Tsukiji to take in the atmosphere 🙂
