I really liked your video. Been searching for a video that captured the market so that I didn't just see people eating at the market but actually looking at the amazing fresh fish.
@zombieman82091 LoL certainly not. I do find it quite difficult to get my hands on eggs that are obtained by my standards so I generally don't eat eggs. Beef in Alberta (where I live) all has to be killed quickly and humanely as does all livestock so I eat meat from wherever not roadkill, healthy farm reared beef. Cheese and dairy products I have to buy at a holistic and natural foods market to ensure that they were made cruelty free. And that's pretty much it. No I'm not a manson.
@zombieman82091 I'm proud of everything I eat. I don't eat species that are threatened, I don't purchase meat from companies that slaughter livestock inhumanely, I don't eat processed meats, I don't eat eggs from farms that keep their chickens in small cages, or milk/cheese from dairy farms that confine their cattle to stalls. So anybody who has a "hard dick" over anything that I eat is overreacting. Animals don't suffer to feed me, and no species is threatened becoming my meal.
Hey! @Emirichan317 ! Play through your video till you get to @8:05 . How cool is it to see yourself eating dolphin? Seriously. 80% of the time that's what it is, because a lot of the time they're easier to catch and a ton cheaper. You also just ate mercury which makes me a little less pissed at you, because at least something shitty happened to you as a consequence.
@fantabulousK 1: I was told at the time that it was Mink whale, which they also said was not endangered, but I later learned that was false. 2: It was a Japanese custom I wanted to try and according to the info I had then, it was fine to eat 1 piece. Now I have learned two more important things. 1: The Japanese are not abiding by the laws regarding whales, and 2: idiots like the ones on Whale Wars are getting PEOPLE killed by illegally stopping a Japanese livelyhood. They are BOTH wrong.
@Emirichan317 hey, just wanna say great job on the footage. Looks like you both had a fantastic time. Its my dream to get there someday as well. Thats my first stop. Take care!
@asspunchquarterpound Thank you very much! I hope to do more of these videos when I get back there and edit them in higher quality when I get a decent laptop. I hope you make it there too!
@fantabulousK And as you know, two wrongs don't make a right. You don't get to go into a Mid-East country and stop ppl from stoning a woman to death for showing her wrists by accident, but it's ok not to go through proper channels and negotiate for a stop to whaling instead of blundering into someone else's livelyhd and endangering people as well? We keep jobs going here in the States because people need them to live, even if it's deforestation or oil trucking when we have other means of energy.
@fantabulousK The point is, people often keep destructive jobs so they can live. I don't agree with this either. And to conclude, wishing something "shitty" on someone else doesn't make you a better person, dear. I am all for whale conservation, but I'm all for people conservation too. I will try to be less "pissed" at you for being indecent and remember that you meant well, but I'll also pray that you find a more humane way of treating your fellow homo sapiens as well as whales. Good luck
@Gienzelientje8875 Howzabout you try to be polite and argue your point instead of automatically being horrible so that no one has no desire to listen to you at all? Keep your comments polite and I might actually listen to what you have to say. Having respect for animals is no reason to have no respect for humans. Goodbye.
cruelty to animals you say... if you eat beef, pork, or chicken, or anything animals that walks, how do you think they get slaughtered? At least the shelled fish you can put them in the freezer and let them sleep calmly before cooking them. makes me glad I dont eat meat.
I love how I'm either evil for supporting Japanese culture and not liking being in the States, or I'm too American and need to learn more about Japanese culture. MAN people are bitchy! Something in the water lately? Goodness. Spread a little love, for God's sake!
@Emirichan317 very well said......theres always gonna be childish little small minded ppl who are just jelous of you having a great time and good attitude........i really enjoyed the vid..........thnx peace
@tomnatwil Wow. You don't know me at all, do you? Waste of comment space again. sigh. Dude, I'm moving to Japan for good, I do not like it here in the US, and I never eat that rat poison they call fast food. Go comment somewhere else. I was setting up the scene for those watching and who can't actually smell it. Go bother someone else. Thanks.
Very cool video. Only thing that bothers me is the blatant disregard for the species being so over fished. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those "OMG WE NEED TO STOP EATING ALL SEAFOOD!111!" people, but I do believe there should be some sort of stringent regulation system put in place.
Regardless, awesome vid. Wouldn't mind going there someday myself.
@dyingromeo ok i remember the point i was trying to make (before i was interrupted by my own penis related announcement) and that is that i no longer remove fish from the sushi at sushi train restaurants, because the last time i did, the chef and i met gazes, and he was... err... looked like he was going to make ME into sushi, so i stopped out of fear
@wenjilu I know, I know-- trying to set up the scene, we could tell we were getting closer by the smell but couldn't see anything yet. The smell worked as a clue and got us all excited, but I guess if you weren't actually there it's not as cool or exciting. I mean everyone knows from the title where we were headed, but we hadn't made it there yet etc. etc. Anyway-- I was trying to get ppl pumped for the scene.
They are showing some species of whale in the Pacific are displacing and making other species endangered. Minke whale (the one that she ate) is said to be the culprit keeping many other species of larger whales from recovering due to their overpopulation and consumption of the food supply...
Please check my and zigmaleho's comments. I can't help it if it broke before I could get it in my mouth! I did not-- repeat, NOT-- break it on purpose! Once I felt the rice break under the fish, I talked to it. I do that.
And you know, everyone who tells me how impolite it is to do everything seems to not know you're supposed to eat nigiri with your hands in the first place. People do it a few ways if they aren't at a 5 star sushi place. I try to be as polite as possible, but things happen.
Those are squid beaks. Squid don't have mouths, they tear up fish they catch with kinda parrot-looking beaks, so I guess they sell them here for... flavor? I dunno... Maybe like adding beef bones to soup, they can add flavor to stuff. Anyone else know?
I'm a little lazy to look around. But how was the sushi? I landed there during silver week and the fish market was closed the entire time. Had to fly out shortly after.
Would love to know if it's any better to eat the morning's catch.
It was pretty awesome. Very fresh, very flavorful, although I didn't get to try everything. I would totally do it again, but then I love pretty much everything about Japan. ^^ Hope you get to visit again!
good on you for eating the whale meat... after all we do to try and stop them from poaching whales... Don't know about you, but I kinda wanna show my grandkids what whales are. and not on a video or photo...
Hello there interesting video, I enjoyed it. Although please don't be stereotypical "British idiots" is in the description. I'm not an idiot *wipes tear.*
I love sushi and fish. You are very lucky to have been there. WOW, you ate whale.... why? Tasted like fishy beef huh?. DANG that is so weird! I read an article about Blue whales in Nat Geo I think they and some other species are going extinct. I really hope that our oceans can support our love for eating fish. Safe travels to you thanks for the video.
Wonderful video. I hope to visit Japan and visit the fish market as well. I think I will pass on eating whale however. No judgement, I just wouldn't feel right about it. Best of wishes to you.
Yep, I'm such an ignorant bimbo that I speak two languages fluently, play two instruments, paint and draw decently, make costumes, know classical music AND have gotten several scholarships to Japan, not to mention am one year away from my degree.
Sorry my ignorance caused you pain; Glad my trying to set the scene for all the viewers at home was a waste. Have a nice day!

when you eat sushi you don't put soy sauce on the rice, only on the fish and it's not on every fish. To put soy sauce on sushi rice (niguiri sushi) it to desrespectful. It's obvious that you don't know so much about japanese cuisine, but I'm jealous that you've been to a japanese fish market, great experience, and if I were your friend I'd definitly buy a knife too! bye bye nice video
Uhhh first of all I know, but I was trying to dip the whale itself; the meat was hanging off. The rice got soy sauce on it when it broke in half. Second, technically you don't use your chopsticks when eating nigiri-- you use your hands. I just didn't want sticky hands then.
Please do research before saying someone has no idea what they're doing/are being rude. I've spent over half a year in Japan added up and 7 years studying. I learned what's rude from having asked Japanese people.
congratulations, you probably are a indredible person! well i don`t say chopsticks you know...I say Hashi...that`s the correct manner also, don`t say "mine", and use hands to eat niguiri zushi is the correct way yes, because it`s suppose to feel the texture also. But nice excuse saying that the meat was falling off, I`ll buy it!
I;m not from america, in my country we say all the japanese names when are eating japanese food
ahahahaha putting soy sauce on the rice is "too disrespectful"? check this out... when i go to sushi train restaurants with my family, i take the whole fish off the rice and eat only the rice after dunking it in soy sauce, i then proceed to place the fish portion onto the plate of the family member sitting next to me, i do this almost everytime my family takes me to a sushi place (i'm japanese AND vegetarian, u thought there was no such thing, well, we are out there...)
when ppl learn that i dont eat seafood, they always seem shocked, but (prepare urselves for some fully loaded vegetarian righteousness!!!) but i'm the one who is shocked, that they DO eat it, fish aren't food., fish are friends!!! FISH ARE FRIENDS!!!!!
(disclaimer: shark arent friends, u have my permission to eat shark)
Fish don't talk. Except perhaps for Charlie the tuna. Glad to hear you're Vegan. Have a good life, and be as respectful of us omnivores as we are respectful to you.
@Timerider : Indeed. We don't go telling Vegans not to eat veggies, so don't tell us not to eat meat (including fish and poultry). Most vegans live in democratic societies, and forcing your ideas upon others doesn't work. Let others decide for themselves whether to eat meat or not. Present your fact, then move on, instead of harassing people just because they choose to eat meat. No government in this world would stop people from eating meat, so get used to it (just as how we're used to vegans).
@dyingromeo oi! just so you know being vegetarian isn't better than eating meat. Technically plants are living things to, so if you eat broccoli or lettuce ur a murderer to let you know. The only things a super-ultra-vegetarian would eat would be fruits b/c they are supposed to be eaten by the plant. No matter how you look at it, it's necessary and natural to consume other things to feed the human body. Vegetarians are blind b/c they cannot see that whether they eat meat or not, no diff.
I was totally horrified that people were doing this; as far as I am concerned I want no association with them. My goal is to be as polite and observant as possible of Japanese/other cultures.
We were fortunately very well behaved on our trip and had a wonderful time. Sadly, we will never get to see the Auction due to these idiots.
I wish all foreign people had to go through orientation before being allowed to go to Japan. No one gets that you still have responsibilities while vacationing.
TV says Auction is temporarily off-limits for all tourists for one month (busiest time in a year), but it is still under consideration what they should do after one month.
So, it will be opened for tourists soon, perhaps, but you must confirm if you want to come and see again.
That is wonderful! I was hoping to get to see the market again, and maybe the auctions if possible. I am posting a video soon of my opinions on the recent badly mannered foreigners.
at 5:31-5:37, the shellfish is called "Uchiwaebi", also known as Slipper Lobster, Balmain Bug, and Moreton Bay Bug. I had the name of that shellfish in my video, telling all YouTube viewers if it is eaten raw as sushi and sashimi. Please tell me if it's eaten raw or not.
just for the record- there is hardly any fish smell @ tsukuji. I was there too and it's the cleanest and most organized fish market in the world. ans yes, if you guys went there way too late. The real stuff starts at 3am and ends at 5am
"カメノテ" are not actually turtle legs, though the name is misleading. They are actually gooseneck barnacles or percebes. Pretty grotesque-looking but delicious. Great video!
Thanks for posting this video, very nice!.i know Japan is a very nice place and rich in culture but i dont know anything about their wet market but atleast i know now. very interesting indeed!
did ashley get to bring the knife home with her? i suppose one could put it in a bag that one was NOT carrying on, but that's the only way i could see bringing a knife on a plane....
Yep, Ashleigh still uses it. Put the thing in her under-plane luggage. That always is fine-- you can put all sortsa weapons under the plane-- just not in the cabin.
first of all: it's easier to eat nigiri sushi with your fingers, than with chopsticks, and last of all: do not dip the sushi rice side down, it crumbles the rice, always dip the sushi fish side down.
Wow! Thanks for sharing! I love Japan, and I only spent one day in Tokyo so I had to miss the fish market. :-( I really wanted to go! Next time I will make it.
Hi guys, love your video! I thought I would help you guys out on the names of some of the sea life you saw at the market. At 04:50 min mark the clams you saw are Geoduck clams, (pronounced gooey duck), and at the 06:15 min mark, the sign you read may have said "turtle hands" in Kanji, but really they're not. They're called Gooseneck Barnacles in English. If you goto "marinebio dot net" you can read up on them. Hope that helps.
Did you guys ever think about how you were intruding on peoples' working lives/business when you shot that vid? I've been to Tsukiji about 5 times and always asked for permission to take photos.
Well first, I alone was shooting the vid with a camera the size of a coffee mug. I didn't go behind counters or into places not open to the public. I just shot things that were already in the open market.
I understand your concern, but believe me, if there's anyone who tries to respect the Japanese lifestyle, it's me. I just spent another three months there last summer; I love Japan.
OK fair enough, my mistake. I've seen tons of gaijin stomping into the auction area with flash photography and so on. Tsukiji is such a great place, nothing else like in the world. I'm back over there at easter to see my g/f - if you get a chance in the future visit yanaka in tokyo, its a graveyard town, very peaceful and strange.
Oh no no, I totally get where you're coming from. I hate it when gaijin screw things up and don't even bother to try or research anything. Bugs the crud outta me. But yes, thank you; I would HATE it if someone did that too.
Yanaka? Will do. I'm always looking for new places to check out there. I'm thinking of going back and documenting more; Nagasaki has totally captured my heart...
Thanks for the concern; you actually made me happy someone else cares too! <3
Too bad its going to move in the next couple of years, at least you've got a good vid for your memory. My g/f is taking me to some Ninja town in Mie at easter - have you been there? I imagine it will be quite tourist-orientated. I prefer Osaka over Tokyo, much more down to earth, apart from Umeda which seemed more busy than Shinjuku to me.

It was pretty awesome. Very fresh, very flavorful, although I didn't get to try everything. I would totally do it again, but then I love pretty much everything about Japan. ^^ Hope you get to visit again!

I love sushi and fish. You are very lucky to have been there. WOW, you ate whale.... why? Tasted like fishy beef huh?. DANG that is so weird! I read an article about Blue whales in Nat Geo I think they and some other species are going extinct. I really hope that our oceans can support our love for eating fish. Safe travels to you thanks for the video.

when you eat sushi you don't put soy sauce on the rice, only on the fish and it's not on every fish. To put soy sauce on sushi rice (niguiri sushi) it to desrespectful. It's obvious that you don't know so much about japanese cuisine, but I'm jealous that you've been to a japanese fish market, great experience, and if I were your friend I'd definitly buy a knife too! bye bye nice video
zigmaleho 3 years ago
Hi there,
Uhhh first of all I know, but I was trying to dip the whale itself; the meat was hanging off. The rice got soy sauce on it when it broke in half. Second, technically you don't use your chopsticks when eating nigiri-- you use your hands. I just didn't want sticky hands then.
Please do research before saying someone has no idea what they're doing/are being rude. I've spent over half a year in Japan added up and 7 years studying. I learned what's rude from having asked Japanese people.
Emirichan317 3 years ago
congratulations, you probably are a indredible person! well i don`t say chopsticks you know...I say Hashi...that`s the correct manner also, don`t say "mine", and use hands to eat niguiri zushi is the correct way yes, because it`s suppose to feel the texture also. But nice excuse saying that the meat was falling off, I`ll buy it!
I;m not from america, in my country we say all the japanese names when are eating japanese food
zigmaleho 3 years ago
ahahahaha putting soy sauce on the rice is "too disrespectful"? check this out... when i go to sushi train restaurants with my family, i take the whole fish off the rice and eat only the rice after dunking it in soy sauce, i then proceed to place the fish portion onto the plate of the family member sitting next to me, i do this almost everytime my family takes me to a sushi place (i'm japanese AND vegetarian, u thought there was no such thing, well, we are out there...)

when ppl learn that i dont eat seafood, they always seem shocked, but (prepare urselves for some fully loaded vegetarian righteousness!!!) but i'm the one who is shocked, that they DO eat it, fish aren't food., fish are friends!!! FISH ARE FRIENDS!!!!!

Timerider 2 years ago
@Timerider : Indeed. We don't go telling Vegans not to eat veggies, so don't tell us not to eat meat (including fish and poultry). Most vegans live in democratic societies, and forcing your ideas upon others doesn't work. Let others decide for themselves whether to eat meat or not. Present your fact, then move on, instead of harassing people just because they choose to eat meat. No government in this world would stop people from eating meat, so get used to it (just as how we're used to vegans).
tgpgrimreaper 2 years ago
@dyingromeo oi! just so you know being vegetarian isn't better than eating meat. Technically plants are living things to, so if you eat broccoli or lettuce ur a murderer to let you know. The only things a super-ultra-vegetarian would eat would be fruits b/c they are supposed to be eaten by the plant. No matter how you look at it, it's necessary and natural to consume other things to feed the human body. Vegetarians are blind b/c they cannot see that whether they eat meat or not, no diff.

Terrible foreign visitors.
This was broadcasted all over Japan, and it is serious problem.
Because of these ill-mannered visitors, Tuna Auction at Tsukiji became off-limits for all visitors.
jgmgknsrkr 3 years ago
I was totally horrified that people were doing this; as far as I am concerned I want no association with them. My goal is to be as polite and observant as possible of Japanese/other cultures.
We were fortunately very well behaved on our trip and had a wonderful time. Sadly, we will never get to see the Auction due to these idiots.
I wish all foreign people had to go through orientation before being allowed to go to Japan. No one gets that you still have responsibilities while vacationing.
Emirichan317 3 years ago
Yes, I'm sure you're a good mannered pretty woman.
Recent days, many foreign visitors come to see Tsukiji, but they are all disapointed they cannot see them.
Oh! that's so pity. I want someone who can write English pretty well to spread this news to the world.
Not only Tsukiji, but all the tourist spots in the world must be careful of this, not to happen again.
jgmgknsrkr 3 years ago
TV says Auction is temporarily off-limits for all tourists for one month (busiest time in a year), but it is still under consideration what they should do after one month.
So, it will be opened for tourists soon, perhaps, but you must confirm if you want to come and see again.
jgmgknsrkr 3 years ago
That is wonderful! I was hoping to get to see the market again, and maybe the auctions if possible. I am posting a video soon of my opinions on the recent badly mannered foreigners.
Please look forward to it! Thanks

at 5:31-5:37, the shellfish is called "Uchiwaebi", also known as Slipper Lobster, Balmain Bug, and Moreton Bay Bug. I had the name of that shellfish in my video, telling all YouTube viewers if it is eaten raw as sushi and sashimi. Please tell me if it's eaten raw or not.

first of all: it's easier to eat nigiri sushi with your fingers, than with chopsticks, and last of all: do not dip the sushi rice side down, it crumbles the rice, always dip the sushi fish side down.

Hi guys, love your video! I thought I would help you guys out on the names of some of the sea life you saw at the market. At 04:50 min mark the clams you saw are Geoduck clams, (pronounced gooey duck), and at the 06:15 min mark, the sign you read may have said "turtle hands" in Kanji, but really they're not. They're called Gooseneck Barnacles in English. If you goto "marinebio dot net" you can read up on them. Hope that helps.

Did you guys ever think about how you were intruding on peoples' working lives/business when you shot that vid? I've been to Tsukiji about 5 times and always asked for permission to take photos.
jamesp110 4 years ago
Well first, I alone was shooting the vid with a camera the size of a coffee mug. I didn't go behind counters or into places not open to the public. I just shot things that were already in the open market.
I understand your concern, but believe me, if there's anyone who tries to respect the Japanese lifestyle, it's me. I just spent another three months there last summer; I love Japan.
Emirichan317 4 years ago
OK fair enough, my mistake. I've seen tons of gaijin stomping into the auction area with flash photography and so on. Tsukiji is such a great place, nothing else like in the world. I'm back over there at easter to see my g/f - if you get a chance in the future visit yanaka in tokyo, its a graveyard town, very peaceful and strange.
Again, my apols,
jamesp110
jamesp110 4 years ago
Oh no no, I totally get where you're coming from. I hate it when gaijin screw things up and don't even bother to try or research anything. Bugs the crud outta me. But yes, thank you; I would HATE it if someone did that too.
Yanaka? Will do. I'm always looking for new places to check out there. I'm thinking of going back and documenting more; Nagasaki has totally captured my heart...
Thanks for the concern; you actually made me happy someone else cares too! <3
Emirichan317 4 years ago
Too bad its going to move in the next couple of years, at least you've got a good vid for your memory. My g/f is taking me to some Ninja town in Mie at easter - have you been there? I imagine it will be quite tourist-orientated. I prefer Osaka over Tokyo, much more down to earth, apart from Umeda which seemed more busy than Shinjuku to me.
