Fish market

Two days ago, we went to the fish market in Ginza. It was five o'clock in the morning and we were so exhausted. The market fish is a very special place. There is lot of people who work in the transportation of fish from the fresh room to the fish stands. It was a very crowded place and there was a visit, especially for tourists. Then, we went to a sushi restaurant (at eight o'clock) and we ate fresh fish. It was delicious!!! And we don't regret we have woke up early!!!

A sushi bar in Shibuya

Two days ago, I went to Shibuya and ate for the first time in a sushi bar. The concept is very original. There are no tables, no menus and no waiters. The cooker makes his sushis in front of you (it keeps the freshness of fish!!), puts them in different colored plates and poses them on a travelling carpet. So you can choose everything you want and you pay at the end with your empty plates according to the color of the plate.

Moreover you can eat cheaper than in others restaurants and very quickly (25 minutes).

In France, this concept isn't really present. People who want to eat quickly are going to Mc Donald's or are just taking a sandwich to the baker's.

A street in Shinjuku

On Sunday, I went to Shibuya with my friends to do shopping, especially at « Big Camera Store”, a famous electronic shop. Then, we went to Shinjuku where we saw a demonstration, a religious demonstration I think and we went to a very typical street.
In fact, it is a place where we can eat easily sushi, meat and fish skewers. The odor was nauseous but skewers are very nice whereas in Paris if you eat in the same place, you’re sick during two days…

First impression

Arrived last week in Tokyo, I didn't realized in which country I decided to live for two months!

The first thing I would like to do was to eat sushi in a Japanese restaurant. So we went to a restaurant with my friends and my first impression was the fact that the taste isn't the same as in Paris. It's more appreciable and I think the fish is more fresh here.

Moreover, the waiters are very polite and I didn't want to leave the restaurant whereas in Paris where you want to leave quickly...

Now I'm going to look for each specality of Japanese restaurants and why not others types of cooking.
