One of the things I love about being in Japan is being able to have excellent sushi. I don’t go very often, but when I do go to sushi, I’ll either go to a local place that’s very good and not cheap, or I’ll go with friends who are visiting to Tsukiji. So I was a bit blase when I saw folks on MeFi going gaga over this piece by Nick Tosches on Tsukiji. But after reading it, I am impressed.
