A Japanese Breakfast at the Tsukiji Market
Tokyo, Japan
Private | Half-Day | Food
Once the commercial centre of seafood trading in Tokyo, the Tsukiji Fish Market still lives and breathes good food. From early morning until late at night, it is forever ready to welcome endless customers who want to bear witness to an over a 100-year-old cultural institution in the Japanese capital, a majority of whose operations recently moved to the more modern facilities in the Toyosu area.
Despite this, housing around 65 fish market vendors, Tsukiji still retains its culinary crown as one of the finest places in the Japanese capital for sampling the freshest seafood. This morning exploration of the maze-like alleys of the Tsukiji Fish Market brings clients along to acclaimed restaurants, that often serve specialities which cannot be found anywhere else.
This breakfast tour starts in the early morning, where the coming and going of seafood suppliers and merchants at Tsukiji Fish Market have traded places with the smells and delectable displays of some of Tokyo’s best seafood dishes. Together with a local guide, and an empty stomach raring to go, discover a world of fine gastronomy featuring the highestquality catch of what’s in season.
Touring all the hidden gems in this market is not just focussed on seafood. Those with a formidable appetite but keen on trying some other local specialities also have ample choice to taste the many flavours that make up the heart and soul of Japanese cuisine.
