The retail market was amazing. I managed to explain to one of the tuna sellers that we lived where they caught a ton of the commercial tuna in the US that comes to Japan and he was very excited. Showed him a video of me trying to reel one in and got a great chuckle. The rest of Tsukiji was basically sardine packing to get around the lines for Instagram spots.
