Food Scene
When we talk about Japanese cuisine, I guess everyone will talk about sushi and sashimi. So where can we eat the best sushi and sashimi in Tokyo? My suggestion is Tsukiji Market. Tsukiji Market trade fresh fish and seafood every morning. There are lots of famous restaurants inside the market. With the reputation of Tsukiji Market, you need to line up in there for a meal around 6 am or even earlier. Luckily, our apartment in asakusa bashi is very close to Tsukiji. It can save your travel time and allow you to eat an amazing Japanese style breakfast.
P.S. Tsukiji will move to another place in November. Visitors are better to taste the history before November. (New market is still very close to our apartment.)
