The Tsukiji Fish Market, previously known as the world’s largest wholesale fish and seafood market, was located in central Tokyo. It was famous for its bustling atmosphere, the quality and variety of its seafood, and its iconic tuna auctions, which attracted visitors and buyers from around the globe. However, in October 2018, the wholesale market was relocated to the new Toyosu Market, a few kilometers away.

History and Importance
Tsukiji Market opened in 1935 and quickly became a central part of Tokyo’s culinary scene. The market was not just a place for buying and selling seafood but also a vital component of Japanese food culture. Chefs from across Tokyo, and indeed the world, would visit Tsukiji to procure the freshest seafood.

Tsukiji’s Tuna Auctions
The tuna auctions at Tsukiji were particularly famous and became a popular tourist attraction. These early morning auctions were fascinating due to the size of the tuna and the high prices they often fetched, with some premium specimens selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Tsukiji Outer Market
Though the inner wholesale market has moved to Toyosu, the Tsukiji Outer Market remains in its original location and continues to thrive. This market is a vibrant area that includes a mixture of retail shops and restaurants that cater to the public. Visitors can enjoy fresh sushi and sashimi, along with a variety of other Japanese foods, right next to where the fresh catch was traditionally sold. The outer market is renowned for offering some of the freshest and finest seafood in the city.

Visiting the Outer Market
The Tsukiji Outer Market is a culinary haven for anyone looking to explore traditional Japanese food. It is particularly famous for its sushi bars, where you can enjoy sushi prepared with fish that has just come off the boat. Additionally, there are numerous stalls selling Japanese kitchen tools, groceries, and gourmet gifts.

The Outer Market also hosts several food stalls where you can try different local delicacies such as tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet), fresh oysters, and grilled seafood. For many food lovers and tourists, visiting this part of Tsukiji offers an authentic taste of Tokyo’s rich gastronomic culture.

Conclusion
While the wholesale operations have moved to Toyosu, Tsukiji Outer Market continues to be a significant cultural and culinary destination in Tokyo, offering an array of fresh seafood and a peek into the local way of life that revolves around food. It remains a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience the essence of Tokyo’s vibrant food scene.
