Sushi Breakfast at Tsukiji MarketPosted by Corie Brown |

Everyone who cares about food makes a trip to the Tsukiji Market when they visit Tokyo. Famed for its dawn tuna auctions and the extraordinary variety of fish for sale in the hundreds of stalls that fill its main hall, Tsukiji is the first stop for fresh fish destined not only for the finest restaurants in Tokyo but for Michelin-starred dining rooms around the world.
I was fortunate to have a tour guide for my first visit to Tsukiji, the one and only Lloyd Nakano, former managing director of Tokyo's ultra-luxury Hotel Seiyo Ginza and now a partner with Ernest Singer in The Japan Wine Project, an ambitious effort to produce Koshu wine for the international market. [More on the wine later in my series that started today with Japan's Zen Winemakers.]
