Tsukiji Outer Market Food Tour, Tokyo
Overview
Eat your way through Tsukiji Outer Market, the maze of stalls and small shops that grew up around Tokyo's old fish market and still feeds the city's chefs. Go in the morning, when the knife shops are opening, the grills are smoking and the queues are already forming.
With a guide who knows the stallholders, you taste the market's specialities: sweet tamagoyaki rolled omelette, grilled seafood and wagyu skewers, fresh sashimi or sushi, green tea and traditional sweets. Between bites you learn how to choose good tuna, what the dried bonito and kombu are for and how the market moved its wholesale side to Toyosu.
It's a relaxed way to start a Tokyo day, and you'll leave knowing where to come back to buy a chef's knife or a box of matcha.
