Highlights
"There are two major parts to the Tsukiji Fish Market, the outer market, jogai, and the inner market, jonai. The outer market is what you see here crowded with people. You go on the weekend. It is crazy. This is where all these sushi restaurants czar and some ramen shops. Eating ramen for breakfast is as a big of a thing here as eating sushi or as seafood rice bowl."
"This where the actual works happen including the early morning fish auctions."
"So, this method of checking the quality of the meat by picking out the tuna and examining it with your hands is supposedly a Tsukiji thing."
"This is the young sardines."
"So, the inner market, jonai area is quite an intimidating place to be if you don't know anyone because the guys here aren't that outwardly friendly, uhhmm, even if though they are when you talk to them and you know people so, you don't wanna point your camera at everyone coz you might get trouble as I did earlier."
