I just returned from Japan and one of my favorite outings was on my first day to Tsukiji fish market which is the largest wholesale fish market in the world. This place was insaaane! It was a vast endless beehive of activity. restaurant owners buying fish, workers hauling fish. in this market there was also a knife shop, it stopped me in my tracks, I thought to myself, "I have been looking for the perfect knife, alas, it has presented itself to me". The owners of the shop carved my name into the blade and it is a thing of beauty.
