Route
One-Hour Tsukiji
Eat, look, buy. In that order, because the food closes first.
- Eat one thing
Pick from what is open now. A bowl if you have time to sit, a stick of tamagoyaki or a few pieces of standing sushi if you do not.
- Walk one street of shops
Knives, dried bonito, nori, pickles. You do not have to buy. This is the part of Tsukiji that fed the old market.
- Buy one thing that travels
Dashi packs, nori, a small knife (in checked luggage), tea. Nothing raw.
- Done
If you have longer, the Uogashi rooftop is where you sit down.
Sundays, public holidays and market holidays close a good share of the shops. Check the Today panel first.
