sunday sushi

Its Obon at the moment so many Tokyo peoples are in their hometowns visiting families...this means Tokyo is very, very empty (and hot in the 30's) but nice..............we decided to visit Tsukiji fish market for sushi - the best selection in the city....which we have been to many times but on Sunday's 'the market is closed so people only come here to eat sushi' as we were told by a vendor...that cool with us!!............above the toro... or the fatty belly of the tuna......totally decadent in a good way!....
cold green tea..........mmmmmmmmmmmmm
this sushi place was kind of in an alley......and with typical Japanese service, professional, polite, very fast and of course delicious (and pretty good price too)!............made for a great lunch!
Tsukiji market is right next door to Ginza, which is also nice for a walk. This Nissan showroom showed a car suited for the dreaded ageing population issues here...this is the ONLY commitment I can see to doing anything about the ageing issue here.....I think this idea can be applied to kids car seats (especially for babies) despite the add on price to the car (about 10,000AUD) its such a great idea...
and to finish off...another famous sweets shop (caramel)...serves liquid caramel on creamy ice cream!....one was enough to share between the three of us....a most lovely outing to the big smoke!
