Life in Tokyo #58: Fish Are Our Friends

Uploaded by: tokyocooney
Video Description:
I spent the day, or rather I should say night into morning at Tsukiji Market. I think I still smell like fish with the amount of gore I got on me. There were a lot of great experiences and while i had about 2 hours of footage I finally got it down to the appropriate 10 minute YouTube limit. Kind of hard to explain it all, so I hope it makes sense.
I was lucky to be a part of some of the behind the scenes stuff as I was there in a work capacity for another job. So, no... they probably wont let you do some of the stuff I was lucky enough to get to do. But many parts of the market are open to the public including the Tuna auction, and some p
arts of the wholesale market area. I highly recommend a visit if you are ever in Tokyo. NOTE* As of Dec 15th 2008 the tuna auction is closed to tourists. The tourist ban apparently will only cover season like winter when the market is most busy. However, some parts of the market is still acc
essible. Particularly the many souvenir shops and restaurants. More info here: Tsukiji Wiki Page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsukiji_fish_market Tsukiji Market Homepage: http://www.tsukiji-market.or.jp/youkoso/about_e.htm Music: Taj Mahal - Fishing Blues The Doors - Land Ho! Muddy Waters - Rol
