I don't care if the Emperor himself is visiting that market and offering me the best tamago in all of Japan, I don't think I would wake up at 5 a.m. to go. With all there is to see in Japan I just can't fathom the allure of a fish market. That's like saying "when you come to New York City, make sure to got to the Nathan's hot dog factory store and see how they make there hotdogs!" No one wants to see how the sausage is made.

[MENTION=30345]FlyingDoctorwu[/MENTION] Thanks! The cocktails were incredible and are priced accordingly, although comparable to any cocktail bar in NYC. He had mentioned to me that there was a bar in NYC that a friend of his opened and is excellent, but I can't remember the name! I've been trying to think of it since we got back to the city. If you are ever in Tokyo you really should visit this bar. The only issue is finding it can be tricky. We had the address on Google Maps and everything, but it was still hard to figure out which building it was in.
