Tsukiji’s Outer Market
So there are two main parts in Tsukiji Market which are “Wholesale (inner) Market” and “Outer Market”. The former hold the tuna auctions and is where professional buyer and seller take their works. It is allowed to enter to some parts of it and it’s a rare place that you can see professionals working, yet be aware the turret trucks running through the market and always pay attention not to disturb them as they are on DUTY!!
For tourists, Outer Market is more ideal to visit, which is locates just outside of the inner market. The market consists a couple of small and narrow streets where are crowded with hundreds of restaurants,shops and food stalls. It’s a perfect place to taste and shop seafood obviously!! As Tsukiji is one of the most popular tourist destinations, the streets are always packed and pretty chaotic during day.
=Street food=
When you walk down on the street, there are so many yummy temptations to make you stop by. Fresh scallops on the grill, crabs,urchins etc. Seafood tastes a million times better when it’s fresh.. so why not!
=Dine=
There are hundreds of small restaurants in the Outer Market. Most of them serve Sushi or Kaisen Don (seafood on rice bowl). Try the best Sushi while you are in Tsukiji or you will regret forever!
The most popular Sushi restaurant “Sushi Zanmai” which is franchised and set in two locations in Tsukiji. Find the owner’s doll standing outside as a landmark!
=Dry Food=
If you wish to purchase something to take home from the market, dry seafood is probably the best choice. As well as restaurants, there are numbers of dry food shops. They are very popular for soup stock and can stay quite long.
=Knives=
Tsukiji is also known for one of the best places to purchase Japanese knives. There are over hundreds kinds of knives sold and the one for tuna slicing is really outstanding! (Looks like a Katana sword!!) Also they offer services to sharpen and maintenance your knives if you bring to them.
