Tsukiji

Hey All: Sorry for the delayed posting of the Japan trip, but ironically we have had poor internet service. Here are some pics of our first stop. This is all at about 5 am local time on our first day. This is Tsukoji fish market. The largest fish market in a Country that consumes 1/6th of the World's fish.















This was the area with stalls for a myriad of fish and fish related products.




























And this was the famous fish auction. This is most renown as the tuna auction, but be learned they sell a whole variety of fish. Apparently, a good percentage of the world's fish pass through this floor.













This was some very exacting tuna cutting. The older guy was coaching the apprentice on the technique.


More to come I promise. I need to get upload issues worked out, and then we will be in business. BTW: It is my 40th here already, and will be tomorrow there. Arigato for watching.
