"Most people visiting Tokyo always go to Tsukiji Market, and come back lauding the visit. Neigh, they come back exalting the market and recommend it as a “must go” destination. We have never understood why. My long standing theory is that humans are flawed creatures, and we would rather make people waste their time going to a raw fish market at five in the morning than publicly admit they made a mistake, rather than state that they wasted their time watching people throwing frozen fish and yelling in Japanese, and advise future visitors not to go. For the record, we have never visited the market and we do not recommend you do either. Sleep in, enjoy your morning, and go eat sushi at a reasonable hour. "

It's called "cognitive dissonance" On the other hand there are some cool hole in the wall type places where one can get a variety of food later in the day (and specials up to 2 pm on the street). And the best tamago ever made constantly and available for about 1 USD (and I don't even like tamago).
Thanks for all the pics
