5th day Tokyo

Mochi's

Mochi's...these are delicious rice flour dumplings that have red bean paste in them which are traditional or ice cream filled which are one of my favourites!

You can get the red bean ones in supermarkets and seven elevens

Tsukiji fish market

We got to the fish markets around 6am to walk around and have a look around the fish markets. We saw some big tunas being wheeled around after the fish auctions (which start around 4:20am each morning) that were being delivered to the fish mongers. We were pretty hungry by that stage so we decided to have some sashimi, sea urchin with rice to start our day.
