On our last full day in Japan, Sami and I met up with Raymond and Koto (from the Mifune Productions outing) for lunch with Raymond's brothers-in-law and some of their friends, all of whom work at the Tsukiji fish market. They usually work from about 2am until 11am, and afterwards they get together at this little restaurant to eat sushi and drink for a few hours. Pictures. Unbelievable amounts of fish and shochu were consumed. Some of the guys had known each other since they were kids, and the dynamic among them was remarkably like between our gang; in fact, after watching a couple of guys affectionately dissing each other (in Japanese of course), I had to teach them the phrase "talk shit". This lunch and the sushi we'd had on Monday morning after our visit to the market were some of the best sushi I've ever had, no question. I also got some more pictures as we walked around the neighborhood, and that night at dinner.
