So excited. First official full day in Tokyo. I am going to the famous Tsukiji fish market
I see a lot of photos videos on social media as well as growing up and always wanted to go there and have some fresh
Fish that's what I'm gonna do today
Hey, I think that's the pissing shrimp or that. Yeah, that's the pissing shrimp
This looks ridiculously fresh
My first impression of this fish market is that it is crowded. This is 11 a.m. On a weekday
I can't imagine what this is like on a weekend. Look at the size of these oysters. Holy cow. I think I found something
I want to eat
Tuna steak. Look at this thing. What? Oh, man. This looks awesome
Steamed oysters
I'm gonna be trying out a lot of random foods
The first thing that caught my eye are these seared tuna steaks on a skewer and I just doused it in chili pepper
It's awesome, man
Wow
See this? This thing's just like flaking off the skewer
Love that he finishes off with with a blowtorch on the outside
So on top of the nice tuna meat get that nice little char. Fantastic way to start my day. Second food item are these
Steamed oysters and I think these are really simple. These are freshly steamed oysters
All I saw them do was add a little bit of soy sauce in here and these look awesome. It's so cool
No fishiness at all to this. This is so incredibly fresh
I'll tell you I was kind of hesitant because I'm not the biggest fan of oysters
I find them really slimy even when they're cooked a lot of times
I find their fishiness a little too much for me, but the flavors here are really simple
I think they're really reliant on how fresh these oysters are and this is absolutely delicious
These are grilled scallops with sea urchins on top and the sea urchin is barbecued with a blowtorch
This looks absolutely insane. I'm giving sea urchin a shot, but I don't I don't love it
I feel like it tastes like a slimy ocean. That's basically what sea urchin is to me. Hopefully it tastes better under a blowtorch
Smells good
I feel like the ocean threw up in my mouth
To me it's just grimy and it's really really slimy. Yeah, this tastes way too much like the ocean
Like I took a physical bite of seawater. It's truly a bit terrifying, but I'm here to try new things
So let's try this brown stuff
Smells very crabby
Wow never judge a book by its cover. This is this is not bad
Mmm, there's chunks of crab meat in here and there's definitely crab innards in here
In this thing by all counts doesn't smell the greatest
But wow, it's like a crabby cream of spinach
I never thought I would ever enjoy eating a mysterious brown goo from a crab shell
But this has changed my mind
So in the future if I ever see something else browning gooey as long as it's in a crab shell, I'm gonna eat it
Okay, that's probably the worst advice ever. Don't ever do that. Oh
tea
Matcha sencha nice. I need this to kind of wash the ocean from my mouth
This is beautiful
It's fantastic. Thank you. This place behind me sells tamago, which is a Japanese egg roll egg wrap
And I don't I don't know if this place is actually really that good or this is all hype but look at the line here
I guess I'll find out. Okay, I'm looking around and everybody in line with me seem to be a tourist
So this is smelling more and more like a trap, but I'll let you guys know
Thank you
My first impression it looks like a popsicle except it weighs about three times as much this is really dense and is really heavy
I'm surprised to see I'm missing a piece here because I swear to you. I did not bite it
It just just kind of broke off in my mouth. Wow
This is velvety smooth and delicious was kind of throw me off a little bit is that it's kind of sweet
I was expecting this to kind of be like a like an omelet on a stick
But not at all. It is almost like a dessert like that like an egg custard on a stick look on the inside
This is I feel like work. The fluffiness is coming from although it's dense. It's heavy
There's so many layers so many layers of eggs in here that when you bite into it, it just crumples in your mouth
It's almost like an eggy building demolishing
Now the problem is I have no idea what this thing is supposed to taste like so I mean it is good
I just can't tell you in the world of tamago whether this is like a 5 or a 10. It is yummy, though
This will be really awesome with a pancake or bacon what the heck is this and why are there like 20 billion people here?
I swear to you every sushi place in this market is packed
Every one of them wanted to take a break from the seafood and grab some mochi
This is fresh mochi with strawberries inside, and I got a matcha mango mango cream and custard
Let's start off with a mango one, and I see a couple different types of cream inside, so let's take a bite
Wow, I got powder on my mouth
flying everywhere
snowing in Tokyo
Okay, that thing
Huge mango flavor what's in here is what looks like whipped cream and also there's definitely
Mumbing paste in here mumbing paste mumbing cream one of those two. This is definitely not light
I see why they paired it off with a strawberry because this flavor of the strawberry cuts into the heaviness of the cream and the
Filling actually this is really heavy. I feel like I feel like one bite, and it's enough for me
I don't even know how I can finish this. It's just oh my goodness. It's so substantial all right
Let's soldier on to the next mochi. This is the custard one. I got and I was really excited about this
This is like a hand grenade
I could throw this across the street right now and destroy a building and I have never been so happy for the presence of
Strawberry before in my life without the strawberry. I feel like this is gonna bombard your stomach and sit there for the next week
There's no good way to eat this without destroying yourself making it's making you look like a guy who don't hit first into like a flower
factory or something
Excuse my barbaricness. Let me just shove the strawberry deeper into the mochi
It's like a strawberry mochi sandwich a mo-nan-wich
Much better than a mango. This is a lot lighter than a previous one. It's actually pretty good
I never ate mochi like a taco before I actually want to finish this
Finally let's try the matcha one. I'm just gonna take the strawberry off because
Just want to try this in its purest form so without the strawberry
This is the size of this mochi and look at it
It is pretty big, and I think this one is gonna be really dense as well. I am covered
Covered in flour. This is I wish it was snowing right now
So I have the excuse but most people gonna be like yeah, this guy just needs to wash his hair
But I feel like it's gonna be really dense because I think it's gonna be bean paste in here as well
I'm being patient even this one is better than the than the mango one Wow I'm done
I want to eat more food, so I'm gonna lay out the mochi
So guys remember valuable lesson if you want to eat a lot of food lay off the mochi after the mochi break
I feel pretty good. Let's go get more seafood
Look at this
Can I can I have a whole roast fish
One of these look at this is like a tuna there, and then they're cutting it fresh for people right here
This guy's got a tuna sword look at the size of that knife. This is as fresh as you're gonna get
It's walking by and the scallop look absolutely insane the last scallop experience. I had today wasn't now that good
This has no sea urchin on there, so I'm feeling feeling kind of good about this
I love it whenever people use old torches on my food. I feel like that should be a food requisite when it comes to barbecues
That was awesome, I'm very happy about that
Best scallop I had all day, well I only had two but
This is really awesome nice charred flavor
The sauce they poured on this a little bit of soy sauce. Oh, it's nice
I feel like this one was a lot fresher than the last one. I don't know why the last one really tasted like
Just like I took a gulp of the ocean water, but this is really fresh not too fishy really not much
Oceany flavor to this. It's just a nice tender beautifully barbecued scallop
This looks just insane this is like a
Smorgasbord of seafood on a on a clam shell you got tuna there's sea urchin which I'm not really excited about there's crab
And of course clam on the bottom. This is the ultimate fresh seafood sampler platter little piece of crab
Nice little scrumptious little crab claw
Clam
Well that's good
Loving this so far
High piece of the tuna. I didn't want this completely raw. It looks like it's cooked maybe medium rare right now
Mmmmm
Delicious that thing was probably swimming in the ocean an hour ago. This is the opposite of a star kiss
I'm gonna try the sea urchin again never a big fan of sea urchin
Still not a big fan of sea urchin. Sorry to be kind of graphic, but it tastes like a sea snot
Maybe it's just me does everybody love sea urchin besides me. This is the scallop that belongs in the shell
This thing was like nine US dollars, but I feel like it's really worth it. I mean you cannot get seafood this fresh
Don't judge me I'm drinking this soup
That was really satisfying now my day's complete. I'm good. Maybe a couple more dishes. I'm good
King crab
It's one of my favorite things in the world
I think I had it at a Chinese buffet once and it blew my mind look at that beautiful crab meat
They put absolutely nothing in here, and it tastes fantastic
Listen, which is naturally sweet a little salty from the salt water. Holy wow this is what fresh king crab tastes like
I wouldn't dip this in butter even if you put it next to me this needs absolutely nothing
Except it's natural fresh, so this crab is a prime example of why you should just be yourself
I mean look at this thing it needs no butter it needs no salt it needs no oils
It needs no makeup this crabs got no hair extensions. It's got no fake nails. It's perfect and beautiful as it is
Thank you
Perfect way to end this fish market food sampler day
This ice cream is as fluffy as they come
It's so satisfying after all the seafood I had this has been such an awesome day here at the Tsukiji fish market like I said
I've been wanting to come here forever and finally I'm here
I got to taste a lot of awesome food got to walk around and check out the stalls and it's crowded
As it was I had a great time
I think for me if you put me in any situation as long as I'm surrounded by food
I'm gonna have fun now the thing is nothing here is cheap a typical item costs about
500 yen at least and it really adds up because a
500 yen item might just be a one biter and you don't even realize it because you're having a great time you see all this
Delicious food and you want to try everything and the next thing you know you spend $100
And I get that this place is most likely considered a tourist trap, but whatever
I love to hear especially if you're not like me if you enjoy sashimi if you enjoy raw fish
You will love what they offer here
I almost wish I ate sashimi today because the fresh tuna looks so
Amazing and my one regret today was that on the inside of the market was not open
So I didn't get to see that also of course. I did not get to see the fish auction
But overall this has been such a fun experience, and if you guys ever been here
Let me know how you like it in the comments below. Thank you all so much for watching this video
Oh something else I really loved about that fish market was that most of the vendors
They can at least speak some English which was good because all the Japanese
I know I learned from watching anime
So I didn't want to accidentally challenge somebody to a sword fight or confess my love to someone
