Thank you. I'd also point out that Tsukiji as a market is somewhat dysfunctional now and the majority of fish in Japan is already traded without using the central markets. Actually, they started a tourism campaign because of their slumping sales. It somehow worked, which I guess mainly due to the snobbery and pomposity surrounding the pricey sushi among some domestic/foreign tourists. But I'd like to see a real working market, efficient and representative of the needs of real people.
