Third Time's A Charm

Woke up at 5:00am today again to go the Tsukiji Fish Market for sushi. And finally! got there around 6:00am and still had a 40 minute wait. This place is truly tiny, with a long bar that only fits about twelve tightly packed people at a time.

And was it worth it? Having to wake up at such an ungodly hour (and if you know me, you also know how unlike me this would be) and still having standing in line? In a word: yes. This place showed me how amazingly good sushi can be. The biggest surprise I've had here is how tasty ama-ebi can be in, something I was never particularly fond of until I tried it here. Don't worry, I won't bore you with pictures of sushi.

Since we were there so early, we were able to watch the tuna auctions:

After this, it was back to the hotel. The wife had to get back to work, and I had to finish packing.
