There was no special lecture, just a really fun, nice tour at the behind the scenes workings of the Tsukiji fish market. The tour guide was very friendly, informative, helpful and understanding in showing us around and making sure we knew the history and interesting details of Tsukiji. This is a must if you are at all interested in sushi or the fish market culture of Japan. The sushi restaurant at the end of the tour is especially great. The sushi chefs are delightful, entertaining and willing to take questions, even obvious ones from clueless Americans. The sushi is the best I have ever had. The walk through the fish market is another highlight. It's a little busy and dangerous, but very interesting to see all the wholesalers in their grubby fishmonger gear chopping fish heads and sawing frozen tuna into slices. Overall, a great experience!

If you want a special experience of the huge fish market in Tokyo, this is something for you. At first I thought it would an ordinary tourist trip, but instead we got an inside walktrough of the place. Our guide really knew everything about the place and at the end, he took us to a hidden sushi place, where I tasted the best sushi i have ever had. Without comparison!

Visiting the fish market with the "Tsukiji King" will make your trip to the fish market like no other. He took us up to a roof top nearby the market, giving you a tremendous view of the area while he was introducing us to the fishing business. The best part though was entering a hidden sushi restaurant with no ques at all (the other more touristy sushi bars will take you two hours to get seated). I have never had better sushi. A great experience. Afterwards you will feel like your head has been having a good massage!
