NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Who would win? Ryotaro with the knife or me with the world's hardest food? Let's settle this once and for all. We had a blast at Tsukiji market - I'd actually written it off when it moved to Toyosu back in 2018. What I didn't realise was that the outer market (which is the best bit) is still alive and well, and better than ever before. Toyosu is good for the tuna auctions, but not much else. The brand new buildings are shiny and clean, but they lack the atmosphere of Tsukiji's chaotic streets. If you're in Tokyo, make sure to drop by! As I mentioned in the video, we did have help behind the scenes from a guide (a guide who wasn't Ryotaro for once), as we wanted to really get down the alleyways and handle the knives used to prepare the tuna. If you want to pretty much do everything we did in this video, you can check out the highly regarded tour here: bit.ly/336bqXE (and yes it does come with plenty of food).

this brings a tear to my eye. the first and, so far, only time i went to japan was a mere one week split between tokyo and kyoto. however, during my time in tokyo i stayed in a hotel just a walking distance from tsukiji market. we went there a lot and enjoyed numerous sushi places around the area, who offered the freshest, most justice good fish i ever had. we already knew it was getting torn down, after all we visited in 2018, just MONTHS before it had. brings back some of the best memories in my life. now, 4 years later i'm intensively learning the japanese language, as next summer my father has a japan trip for us in store! couldnt be more thankful for having been to tsukiji
