These pictures were taken on a day trip out to Himi - purely to see the Japan Sea and eat fresh sashimi and other delicious treats.
Wearing vintage Carhartt jacket, F21 shirt, vintage Levi shorts. All photo's taken by my brother.
Toyama was my favourite part of my whole trip - mainly because I was able to spend 10 days with my brother and his beautiful family (although he'll argue because it was of the delicious sushi that I ate while there - he made sure that my "last bite" in every meal was a negitoro bite - food pictures from Toyama to come). Toyama and Himi (a close by city that we went to as well) are known for Japan's tastiest and freshest fish and shellfish, as it is right by the Japan sea. I never thought I would notice such a difference in the quality of the fish but it was so extreme to me that I did. For the 10 days, hours was spent eating, laughing, chatting all night and enjoying the nature and beauty of Toyama.
My last day in Tokyo (which was also the first day it rained since I got there) was spent eating and strolling around Shibuya one last time. We went to a tempura restaurant there (the menu soley consisted of various types of tempura to choose from) and we had tempura oysters, prawns and a variety of vegetables. Oishi!
P.s. I am now back in Vancouver - but I will still be posting pictures from Toyama, Himi and Singapore in a few days. Have a good weekend!
After wandering around the Tsukiji market in Tokyo for a couple hours, we roamed the streets outside and bought some street food as well as tried out some of the delicious fresh sashimi in the restaurants outside. It was amazing.
Tsukiji Market is the biggest wholesale fish and seafood market in the world and also one of the largest wholesale food markets of any kind. We first went inside where there were hundreds of stalls selling all kinds of fish. Outside there is a mixture of wholesale and retail shops that sell Japanese kitchen tools, restaurant supplies, groceries, and seafood, and many restaurants, especially sushi restaurants. Most of the shops in markets close early, so we ventured out first thing in the morning to make the most of it. There is a new album in my Photography section with more pictures.
