@Megan: Markets are the way to go; the place to get started. To understand fish and sushi in Japan, to Tokyo where it all begins. Glad this panorama gets you into the sushi mood.

I really think that markets are the best place to visit in a city to truly get an authentic feel for a city its culture. I love sushi, well seafood in general, and I can’t imagine a better schooling of sushi than visiting a fish market like this. I bet you can learn so much just observing these masters! That panorama is fantastic, I feel like I can smell the sushi rice!

@remy: Glad you liked it. The fish market, an enclosed space, seemed to work well with the panoramic approach.

@Audrey: Yeah, raw is a bit slimy. How about steamed octopus? Or maybe grilled?

Nice! I visited my first fish market in Korea a few weeks ago, and I saw some of the strangest creatures I have ever laid eyes on! Not sure I’ll be going for the raw octopus anytime soon. 😉

Great article. I can only imagine how fresh the sea food is…mouth watering. Not made it to Japan yet but it’s definitely on my to do list. Nice inclusion of the panoramic view to give us a real feel for the place.

@laura: Nothing better than an early morning fish market, wherever you are!

@Jesse: That was the feeling that we got from our visit to Japan. Still significant challenges, for sure. But if anyone is up to the task, the Japanese people are.

@Samuel: Glad we could bring back your own fish market memories.

@Dylan: Do it, but do it soon. Tsukiji is schedule to close in the next year or two.

@Marco: Glad you like the panoramas.

@Tom: That’s the idea. There was so much going on in that market, we had to find a fun way to capture it.

@Jonathan: Absolutelyâ€¦visit the fresh market first is one of our travel tips to live by.

@Lyndsay: Once you have sashimi, there’s no going back. (And on Christmas, too! Love it.)

@Clay: We all crave for sushis 😉

Japanese food is indeed amazing, the sushis especially. So many of my friends crave for sushis. And the fish markets are always noisy.

I haven’t been eating Japanese foods until I tried them last year in Singapore. My mom’s friend that hosted my stay in Singapore was married to a Japanese man and we celebrated Christmas in a Japanese restaurant.

They ordered food for me and get me try the sashimis, it was awesome! After that, when I came back to the Philippines all I was craving for was Japanese food!

Great shot. You can always learn so much about a place by visiting the markets.
