omg, Naomi-san told us were to eat the best maguro in Japan. we trust her 100% so we went there the next day for breakfast. right when we parked the car, i saw a guy transporting the freshest and brightest sashimi i’ve ever seen.
then we entered the classic traditional fish market and checked out the daily catch. i’ve been to many fish markets in Japan including Tsukiji, but this one was my favorite because it was so local. i was the only tourist in there.
you walk around and can choose any type of seafood you want. then they either cook it for you, or prepare it for you.
this lady cut us a very nice piece of maguro which was our breakfast.
this was my early morning breakfast. the sashimi was only $6.70. i couldn’t believe it after the first bite melted in my mouth.
there are 3 different sections in the maguro so each tastes different. my favorite is the o-toro on the right. omg, it just melted in my mouth! anyway, the rice and miso soup was an extra $2.60 which made this amazing meal under $10. just one of those pieces would cost over $10 in Hawaii. it was so good that we went back the next morning. and i can’t wait to go back again!
