After being in and out of sleep, intermittently woken up by peoples’ arrivings and coughings and other goings ons, we finally got up at 6:45 and were out of the internet cafe by 7. We hopped on the train and were at the famous Tsukiji Fish Market no later than 7:30. Although we had been to Tsukiji once before, quite early and not all there, we were determined to do it right once before leaving for what may be a good long time. Also, since we both have been reading The Sushi Economy, we thought we should give Tsukiji a second whirl with a whole lot more understanding of what goes on there.
I’d like to go into it, but well, it’s a fish market. It has fish and lots of it. We walked around, took some pictures, and headed toward to food stand and restaurant area that we had walked through earlier in the morning to dig on some delicious fresh (VERY fresh) sea food rice bowls. I had a tuna/salmon/salmon roe bowl and Meghan had a tuna/salmon. Delighted, we thanked the restaurant owner and chef and walked around a bit more to find a sushi place that would fill our desire to get a slice of each kind of cut of tuna for comparison. We found one and treated ourselves to one piece of akami, one piece of chu-toro, and one piece of o-toro each. Very satisfied, we headed away from Tsukiji to meet the Tokyo morning in Ginza.
We milled about Ginza for a while when we realized that it was only about 9 and nothing was open. Starbucks. Macha Latte and Coffee accompanied by people watching. Once the stores began opening, we headed out and were first met by the Sony building. Strongly considering the purchase of a Sony television after getting settled in back in the States, I thought we could peruse the offerings of the Sony building. Nice, unashamed consumerism. We walked the many floors of the Sony building, played with the many toys, and feasted our eyes on massive HD televisions we could, mostly, never afford.
A bit tired, we headed from Ginza to Tokyo and grabbed the next train to Kamakura – the latest place of residence with the wonderful Hitomi Family, parents to a wonderful friend of Meghan and mine from Muroran, Kanae, who would be arriving with her two girls that evening. Arriving in Kamakura, we decided to walk back to their home (which resides down a network of twisting roads and on a hill). It took us quite a while, and we did get a bit lost, but we eventually found our way. Tired and fairly stinky after both sleeping in an internet cafe and walking all about Tokyo, we grabbed naps and showers before Kanae, Riko (7) and Rio (3) showed up.
Around 7pm a small child burst into the room – the girls had arrived. Christophe and Kanae prepared the tons of fresh sashimi that Kanae had brought down from Hokkaido, while I partook in tickle wars with the girls. Dinner was another amazing meal of fresh fresh fish and two beautiful Hokkaido Kegani (hairy crabs). It was a good day of eating.
