Fish Market - Tsubakai Ichiba

Japan is famous for its fish market and Nagoya is no exception. Fish markets typically open from 4:30am - 8:30am, so it is imperative to get up early and head to the fish market to get the freshest stuff.

Note: Those who are suffering from jetlag should go to fish markets. You're up anyway....

Here's what I ended up getting - big sashimi slices of tuna -
