I am so tired! I have been up since 4am this morning but it was worth it as I can cross two more items off my “Things to do in Japan” list.

The two things in questions are

* Eat whale
* Eat blowfish

I took a trip to Shimonoseki with Dawn and her family as they really wanted to go to the early morning fish market. We wanted to see the fish auction too but it was a Sunday so we were out of luck.

Being at the market so early meant super fresh sushi for breakfast and the chance to try new food. The blowfish didn’t really taste of anything and the raw whale tasted irony (I suspect that’s because it was raw).

Hmm that’s horse, squid, octopus, liver, heart, raw fish, live fish, blowfish and whale to name just a few things I’ve eaten over here. I wonder what the next taste sensation will be!?
