This is how they serve your order

You point to the food you want
They grill in front of you

I think this is blue fin tuna
Super long knifes
These carts navigator through the alley inside the fish market
A whole tuna
FF & tuna
Tsukiji fish market
Unfrozen tuna (probably more expensive)
Frozen tuna, maybe imported?
Cutting into smaller piece
Not sure why they cut the tail
Discarded tails and fins
These carts are design to transport tuna
This is why they are going extinct
More frozen ones than fresh ones
Coffin for tuna
Wish I seen this map earlier
Hello Kitty @ Tsukiji fish market
One of the two recommended place for sushi breakfast
The place is tiny, just about 10 seats
Not cheap but supposed to be really good

Fatty tuna
Love the uni
Never had this type of shrimp before
Really full by this point
But uni is too good not to encore for another round
All these fatty tuna
