The Modern Tuna Auction - still worth the experience

5.00Very different than the original version. We hadn't been there in 15 years. What replaced a pretty unique experience being part of the up front witness of the tuna auction and then walking outside to indulge in fresh tuna and assorted seafood is now an impressive modern structure that keeps you at some distance from the action. Still a remarkable thing to witness in person.
Nobu is the best!

5.00Nobu-san: what a wonderful, knowledgeable guide. He met us promptly at 5:15 AM at the tuna auction market. He was very informative and answered our questions in very good English. After the auction, he took us to the Outer Market where we had lunch at a small, authentic sushi restaurant. He gave us an overview of Japanese history, Shinto, and the introduction of Buddhism to Japan and how it interacted with Shinto. Based on our expressed interests, he then gave us some excellent suggestions on where we could go on our own. He gave us our first lesson on the subway system and wrote down exactly which train and how many stops we should take in order to get there and back to our hotel. We found him amiable, accommodating, well-versed, and well-rounded. We highly recommend this excellent guide.
Well worth the early time
