Eat sushi at Tsukiji Market in Tokyo

“To be honest, I’m not exactly clear on all the types of fish I was eating with each piece of sushi because I’m really not that schooled in sushi terminology and quite frankly, I was suffering from sensory overload. Quite simply, every type of sushi I had was the best of that type of sushi that I’d ever had. I had to close my eyes to hold back the tears and to more fully channel my sensory energy to my taste receptors in order to fully appreciate the dynamic interplay of textures and flavors going on in my mouth. It was a revelation.”

“We were served a nigiri sushi one at a time, placed directly on our personal plate right after it was made. This is the best since I’ve learned that sushi is best eaten right after being made. The taste was none like other. The fish was fresh, and the rice has just the right amount of vinegar, both complementing each other making it one of the best sushi experience I’ve ever had. My favorite was definitely the otoro (fatty tuna). It just melts in your mouth and giving it such a flavor explosion. Truly delicious.”
