Food Addiction: DAY 8: TSUKIJI FISH MARKET, UENO AMEYOKO & SHINJUKU

The day to get KITKATS! It's in my objective list to try those unique KitKats flavor that origin from Japan.
True that SG sells them but holy the price is so ex that I could not forgive myself if I were to purchase it. Now.... I am finally able to fulfill my inner hungry monster.

Since the previous day we walked so much that our feet is just giving way we decided to chill a little today so we left our hotel later than usual.

We headed to "Tsukiji Fish Market" at Tsukijishijo Station. From my preparation this station is located nearer to the Fish Market itself instead of Tsukiji Station.

Sushi Dai and Sushi Daiwa is super duper pops there but reaching the market itself at 6am just to queue only is just not worth the time in our own opinion so beforehand I already planned to have tempura at the only place in the whole Fish Market that sells Tendon a.k.a tenpura donburi in another words "bowl of tempura".
"Tenfusa" which is located just beside Sushi Dai.

It was drizzling that day
Still remembered when we reach the station and was walking towards the exit I could smell the faint dried seafood aroma, thought to myself, ahhh we are at the right place
It was really quiet that day and if I am not wrong the locals there did mention to us that the market is close. Maybe cause we were too late also heh

The queue for Sushi Dai. After like zigzag-ing outside the store itself, still cannot contain the queue, it continues at the corner. Insane

We are happily queuing for our tempura! The signboard is "天房"

We got assorted tempura don and added SGD5 for that generous portion of thick cut tuna!

But wait,,, How can we leave a Japan's Fish Market with just that little plate of tuna?!

Omakase is the way to go. Like I always say, stomach space can be created. Hastag poet /appluse/

Came across this random shop and we decided to give it a try.
Gosh the owner here is super duper friendly. Can really feel the warmth, it is like eating at home. We even chat with them about our day and they were saying they have been to Singapore and mentioned about the unusal water spitter, "Merlion", Gardens by the Bay and MBS
Dat proud moment of being a Singaporean

Oh ya! Side track. While waiting for our seats, my god Andrew Garfield was here?! Legit place already

We even had a welfie with the laobanniang (lady boss)

After a great time we bide farewell and headed to our next stop, Ueno Station

Ameyoko which is a busy market street along two station on the Yamanote Line. Some history was that it used to be a black market for American products in the years following World War Two.

Now it is basically like a one stop shopping with things ranging from fashion items to cosmetics to fresh seafood to dried foods and street eateries

Yeah we might have, ok maybe I have went a little insane. At least two full basket was mine
By the time we made the payment it was 5 cardboard boxes worth of goods which we had to carry all the way back to our hotel. No pictures afterwards because everyone was struggling with our box. Hahahhaha
