Tsukiji Fish Market was the world’s largest wholesale and seafood market until 2018, when the wholesale inner market shifted to a new location at Toyosu Market (including the famed tuna auction). The outer market, which consisted of food stands and restaurants where most tourists visited still remains untouched today.
Tsukiji is still a highly recommended location to get some light snacks like tamagoyaki (卵焼き, Sweetened rolled omelette), kaisendon (海鮮丼, Seafood rice bowl), and other delicious food items. It’s nice to stroll through the area, take in the bustling area, and get some food in your tummy, and the outer market remains mostly unchanged since before the shift of the inner market to Toyosu.
