Going to the Tsukiji market was an eye-opening experience and I cannot believe I did not go sooner. From what I gathered, people suggested arriving at around 7am, in order to line up for the oh-so-famous Sushi-Dai restaurant. My mom and I managed to wake up at 6am that morning and arrived before 7.
Little did I know that it would take 30 minutes to find a way out of the market area once you get in? Yeah, it was that huge! Either that or we just went too far and did not realize the eating area was located at a completely different area.
By the time we got to Sushi-Dai, there was already a really long lineup and we were told that it would be an hour wait:gulp_ee:. We decided to eat at a less famous restaurant, which was right next to Sushi-Dai.
We ordered two 12pcs sets for 3000 yen each. The price was a little bit steep, but good sushi is expensive, so are high-quality beef and pork. It’s not like I’d get to eat raw fish of the same grade anytime soon…Oh, I miss it!
There was this old cranky lady who sat beside my mom and she was totally drunk. She ordered a la carte and the sushi she picked was like 1000+ yen each, holy crap! She drank 3 bottles of beer and ended up paying 20,000 something yen.
I am glad I took my mom to Tsukiji and enjoyed the finest sushi. Now she would understand why I frown whenever we order SAMURAI take-out, hopefully:coolsmirk_ee:.
