She first took us through the inside fish market where people buy wholesale fish then we went outside to the food market where we had the BEST wagyu skewers. They were so good we actually went back after the tour to buy another. Our last stop on the tour was in a restaurant where a sushi chef cut and prepared fish for a sashimi bowl for all of us to enjoy. Everything we ate was delicious and I'm so happy we booked this experience. If you can, request Chi Haru/Sunny for yours!”
