Tokyo Attractions|A wonderful day starts with a rich breakfast at Tsukiji Market
Tsukiji Market is a public wholesale market located in Tokyo, Japan. It handles a large amount of seafood, fruits and vegetables every day. It was once the fish market with the largest seafood processing volume in Japan. Tsukiji Market is divided into the inner market and the outer market. In October 2018, the inner market was officially moved to Toyosu, and the outer market remained in its original location. Therefore, most of the stores in the outer market are still there, and Tsukiji Market is still a famous seafood market in Tokyo.
Transportation strategy: Take the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line to "Tsukiji Station" Exit 1 or 2, and walk for 1 minute to reach the Central Market intersection, where you will see the entrance sign of Tsukiji Outer Market. Take the Toei Oedo Line to "E18 Tsukiji Market Station", turn right at Exit A1 and walk for about 1 minute to reach Tsukiji Outer Market, which is extremely convenient for transportation.
You must arrange your trip to Tsukiji Market early in the morning, preferably before 9 o'clock. If you come late, you will have to queue up at almost every stall. In addition to fresh sushi and seafood, there are also well-known tamagoyaki, gyudon, fried pork cutlet rice and other delicacies. In fact, after a visit, I found that one stomach is not enough. Several famous stores, such as: Kitsuneya Fox House-selling beef rice and beef offal rice, the famous Fox House, I heard that the mother-in-law is very fierce and doesn't like foreigners, but the scene is almost all foreigners, and the portion is quite large. The beef rice is sweet and the beef offal rice is salty. I found that it might be too busy, causing the waiters to almost have no expression. Marutake Tamagoyaki-There are more than 10 tamagoyaki restaurants, each of which is delicious. The Kanto flavor is sweet, and it is cheap. In fact, you can eat at any one. Onigiriya Marutoyo-This store has been on the TV big eater, selling dozens of rice balls, lined up like I have a selective disorder. After choosing and choosing, I finally chose the fried shrimp rice ball. The store is doing very well and popular products are often sold out. In fact, rice balls only have simple white rice and sweet soy sauce, and the price is around 200 yen, which is very convenient for office workers who are in a hurry.
Other places like Tsukiji Koutou (Uogashi Senryo), Tsukiji Sushi Fresh Sohonten, and some unnamed stores that don't even have a name, have super large prawns, raw oysters, large scallops, and even king crab legs. If you don't dare to eat raw food, there are also many barbecued and cooked food to choose from. Tsukiji Market has clear prices, and Japanese people don't bargain anymore. Everyone can choose the price they can accept. Compared with the new Toyosu Market, I still prefer the old and dirty Tsukiji Market, and it is closer to the city center and has convenient transportation. I recommend it to everyone.
