As my day-to-day work revolves around the promotion of craftsmen and the objects that they make (you can read my introduction post if you would like to know more about my work) I've been very lucky to have one of a kind experiences whilst travelling. One of them recently was eating sushi at a restaurant near the famous Tsukiji market in Tokyo, Japan.

Although a little rude to take pictures in such a restaurant as this, the beauty and craftsmanship seen in the presentation of the food was really something to behold. It also tasted absolutely delicious. I wanted to share with you a little of the experience here through this photography and hope you will try sushi in Japan for yourself one day. The taste is much different to that of other countries, there is a subtle flavour that slowly develops in your mouth, rather than where I live where the fish is not as fresh and they use a lot of wasabi that overpowers each bite.

The little pot was also quite the revelation. The name for this dish is 'Chawanmushi' and is a savoury egg custard dish with shiitake mushrooms. Overall a fantastic experience to see them crafting these by hand in front of me. More from my trips to Japan coming very soon. 🙂 Please follow and upvote if you would like to see more.

That looks like some of the best sushi I’ve seen! We don’t get very good sushi where I’m from...

Thanks for the comment @snrm! :) It was really delicious and quite beautiful on the eye. I had to take the picture! 😅
