Hi Marc @ NoRecipes ちゃん,

Wow, that is a great story! He probably likes Koreans even more than foreigners.

After Sushi Dai, I got yelled at by some jerk in the vegetable section. I asked him if he could write his name (in Japanese) and just about pummeled me. His staff hauled him back into his vegetable stall. Back in his cage, he couldn’t get himself into trouble.

What is the name of the place you are talking about?

Mmmm I’ll have to look for this place the next time I’m there. My favourite stall there has an toro, ikura, uni donburi for about 1800 Y that has to been to be believed. It’s covered in thick slices of unbelievably creamy oh toro. The last time I was there the old curmudgeon behind the counter was yelling at some foreigners to get out and then turned to my Korean wife and I and stated complaining how much he hated foreigners (clearly trying to get some sympathy from us). We both practically fell over laughing as we walked out.

Hello Dennis, Dude!

Hello J2Kfm, It was worth the effort. Each variety of sushi came in just one piece. The neta (fish) was quite generous.

Hello George, Wow, everyday, that is dedication to sushi! I have only had nama-gani at a crab specialty restaurant on the Sea of Japan.

Hello Karla, I hope that you can make it back to Japan sometime for some sushi!

Hello macha, I didn’t get there at 5am but I think Shinji did, he couldn’t go in though, because I hadn’t arrived yet.

You got there @ 5 am & there was already a queue???
I try to get there before 7 and usually have to queue for around 1 to 2 hrs
but worth it!

Awesome! I once stayed across the street from the market and went to eat sushi every day! It was fun.

One great thing about the market is most people at the sushi bar are really friendly, even the Japanese people. And, they have things I have never seen at other sushi bars, like nama-gani (raw crab).

Can’t wait to go back!

5am?!!!!!!! unGODly hours!
But to be having sushi for breakfast, plus at Tsukiji at that, I’m sure it’s all worth the effort.
The 12 kinds of sushi came in one piece each?
