Tsukiji Outer Market
culture
築地場外市場
The market's purposeful energy is before 8am, fragrant with grilling seafood. After 10am, it’s a tourist food court. Newer sushi counters like Iwasa Sushi serve the same quality as the legends, without the two-hour wait. Eat the tamagoyaki hot on a stick; the texture changes completely when it cools.
Skip the long-line sushi shops at the entrance. Walk deeper to Row 4 for better quality at half the price.
