Tsukiji Tuna

Hanging out with SunGard people, man, I miss them very much.

I finally went to Tsukiiji fish market today with a friend. This great fish place is only 15 minutes walk away from Ginza!! We went into a sushi restaurant, ordered the tuna plater, which consisted of sushi made of various part of tuna. The middle tuna belly meat doesn't tasted like fish at all, it tasted like, very delicated butter without the milky smell. The meat literally melt on my tongue, perfect with slightly vinigered rice. No soy sauce needed, there is no fishy smell but subtle hint of meat that you have just put into your mouth.

I also like the tuna belly tataki-like sushi. The sushi chef flamed the fatty tuna belly sushi, the surface was slightly cooked and the fat rendered down on the wooden plate. It was sprinkled with tiny salty flakes, a little stringy because of the connective tissues, however, that's where the fat and taste reside. I ate those 2 pieces with dreamy eyes, what a treat.

After the feast of tuna sushi, other type of sushi has lost their appeal.
