We followed a tuna back from the auction, watched him cut it with a three foot long sword, then motion to us to come over as he scooped some tuna with a spoon from the backbone, put it in our hands then poured some soy sauce over the tuna before we ate it. Needless to say, sushi anywhere else in the world hasn't lived up to that experience. Tsukiji was one of the highlights of my trip to Japan, so I’m sorry to see it go.
