Our flight was at 6pm-ish, so we had plenty of time in the morning to do our final roaming around. :)
I decided to go to the famous 築地市場 for the morning. It turns out to be an excellent location not to be missed! :) There were so much to see.
This post won't do its justice. :D But here's a brief recap of the market.
We didn't get to go into the inner market which all the insider of the business do their fish auctioning. But don't be mistaken, the outside market is nonetheless exciting! :)
Our first stop, an unagi shop. We had a slice of the cheapest unagi there. Don't be mistaken, however, cheap not necessary = bad. :D We also had a stick of grilled eel liver too! They were so good! :D
Fresh Roe! :D We bought a box for snacks! :D
There were free samples throughout the market! :D We obviously won't miss out on some! It was soooooo good! :D
Look at the big crab!!!! It's like.. HUGE! :D
After walking around there for a bit for almost 2 hours, it's time for lunch! :D We had choices of Ramen or sushi! :D Of course we chose the latter.
This is our Special set of Rice bowl (特別海鮮井). The prawn was as long as a chopstick! The bowl was huge!!! These sashimi were fresh from the fish market! You can't get sushi anywhere fresher than here!!
Mike and I both didn't like sea urchin before as we both had very bad experience in America. However, when we tried the urchin here, it was sweet, fresh, full of texture and creamy!! Its flavor practically exploded on our tongues!!!
I officially removed sea urchin from my black list of 'must avoid' food now!!!
Sadly, at noon, we had to turn back to pick up our luggage from the hotel and head to Narita airport bounded for Hong Kong.
The trip was short but sweet. When I have time, I should write some more post detailing the high points of this journey! :D That will be for future days... :D
