Comments on: Tsukiji Fish Market http://blog.q-taro.com/places-in-tokyo/tsukiji-fish-market/ back from the dead Fri, 09 Jan 2009 23:57:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: hankhonest http://blog.q-taro.com/places-in-tokyo/tsukiji-fish-market/#comment-1991 hankhonest Sat, 11 Mar 2006 19:56:29 +0000 http://blog.q-taro.com/places-in-tokyo/tsukiji-fish-market/#comment-1991 Roy, Once again your intrepid nature, written talent, and nice photo composition bring your "garden" playground, Tokyo, to life for us, your blog-reader fandom. Keep up the great work! We are planning our 4 week travel to Japan in June. Your explanation and pictures of Tsukiji did more to outline the place for me than any book, or website, has so far. In fact some of my favorite travel books left practical information out on how to "do Tsukiji" that I thought to skip it because we have young children with us. But, I see now, that with care, we can get through and out of the way safely and probably figure out where "Sushi Dai" or "Daiwa Sushi" are due to your pictures. Thanks for "being there" Henry Roy,

Now that I've seen it I see even less reason for getting up so early. Yes, you've guessed it: although I live in Tokyo for almost 5 years, I never visited Tsukiji.

I checked out those links and while I can't read them I found the pictures interesting. People from Asian countries seem to go to different places than western tourists. The sushi chef in Tsukiji said that most of the visitors to their restaurant were from Asian countries while I thought there were more westerners wandering around the market. Maybe it was just because the western tourists stuck out more. Hi KEN, thanks for your nice comments. I checked out those links and while I can’t read them I found the pictures interesting.

The fish market is very well-known in Taiwan. Many Taiwaneses come to Tsukiji on purpose.

At least the maguro is. In summer I imagine it will thaw quickly. Saff, yeah it was fun. You should go next time because after you leave it's 8am so you feel like you still have the whole day ahead of you. Rick, I guess so. At least the maguro is.

I didn't manage to visit Tsukuji, and it seems really interesting from your writeup. Roy, thanks so much for this post.
