We’re all huge sushi fans – even the girls gobble it up every chance they get. So near the top of our list of things to do in Tokyo had to be visiting the city’s (possibly the world’s) largest seafood market.
It was even bigger than I expected – under the market’s vast roof were hundreds of stalls packed with every kind of seafood imaginable.
We made our way through the vast maze, doing our best to stay out of the way of the busy vendors and forklifts darting around. All the specimens looked amazingly fresh, and many were still alive and swimming:
The big-ticket items were huge frozen tuna, fresh off the boats:
At many stalls, workers were busy carving them up into extremely tasty-looking cuts.
This was all making us very hungry, so we got some breakfast from one of the many sushi restaurants at the market’s perimeter.
These tasty bowls of sashimi & rice were surprisingly cheap - it was the best breakfast I’ve had in a while!

Thanks but no thanks!
I agree with Mary Beth. Sushi for breakfast (or any meal for that matter) no way.
Think I will stick with Cheerios!
OMG, It looks soooooo gooood [ Homer-like sounds of drooling. . . ] I would LOVE to try that for breakfast. I’m just amazed at the portions!
Well you know me if it ain’t cooked I just don’t trust it. !!! but i’m glad for ya;ll
Yum,Yum, Uni; now thats some good breakfast. What does a Plane ticket to Tokyo cost?
What are the Sushi prices like over there compared to Texas.
Wow the colors – and the neat little organized piles! Here in South America we are often wondering how sane it is to buy chicken or beef from a gigantic grotesque pile which has been sitting in the sun for several hours in a Mercado. I think the markets in Japan are the polar opposite!
