About this spot
Even after the relocation of the Tsukiji wholesale market, the Tsukiji Outer Market continues to captivate visitors with its unchanged energy. About 460 specialty shops line the streets, packed with fish and meat favored by professionals, rare dried goods and cooking tools such as kitchen knives. The biggest attraction is, above all, the superbly fresh food. At sushi restaurants and seafood rice bowl specialty shops that open early in the morning, you can enjoy the best ingredients bought that same day. The wide variety of street food, such as thick rolled omelet, raw oysters and grilled scallops, is also ideal for enjoying food culture lively with friends and family. It is part of Tsukiji's charm to find coffee shops with a Showa-era feel and hidden gems down the back alleys. The early morning hours are the busiest, when you can feel the market's heat firsthand. From souvenir shopping to serious meals, it is a place where you can enjoy Tokyo's 'style' and food with all five senses, with new discoveries however many times you visit.
