築地 (Tsukiji) Fish Market

Recently, I gone through DannyChoo's post about 築地 (Tsukiji) Fish Market.


The name 築地 (Tsukiji) is come from the place where the fish market is located, 築地.
Some one you may know the place but not the name.
1. Have you seen any channel/show which shows the a large fish market where a lot of people bidding for seafood especially fishes? or
2. Big fishes that arrange all over the floor in the whole market?
If you have seen the 2 scenes mentioned above, then you may have seen it before.
Yeah, 築地 fish market is the BIGGEST wholesale fish and seafood market in the WORLD.
The market opens at 3 a.m. for trading where over 400 different types of seafood exchange hands.
According to Danny, Tuna auctions start at 0520 and end at 0700.
In past, tourists used to watch the auctions but due to some terrible, rude, ill-manner and lame 外人 tourists who cause trouble and problem, now, ALL tourists were banned from watching the auctions.


Exception:
Tourists are allow to go in depending on the season with security guards supervision.

In 築地 fish market, you can find all types of seafood like, Tuna fish鮪（まぐろ）, Squid烏賊（いか）, Octopus章魚（たこ）, All types of clams蛤（ハマグリ）, sea urchins海胆(ウニ）, Prawn蝦（エビ）, etc, etc, etc....



To people who have wasabi and never see the plant before, this is how it actually looks like.
Conclusion, to some 外人: PLEASE BEHAVE MAN~! YOU CAUSE TROUBLE AND JAPAN BAN "ALL" TOURISTS FROM GOING IN......
