Our tour of Tsukiji fish market came to a close at 12:45 in the afternoon, and while me and my shopping buddy (my mom) were both famished from the trip, we didn't stop to eat somewhere on the way home because we were very eager to use our apartment's kitchen to sample our pink salmon cutlets in sinigang sa miso soup!
