About
“Can't get enough of this place. All the colors, flavors, smiles, and idiosyncrasies harmoniously capturing each of your senses.” — Francisco, Spain
Over 2,000 tonnes of seafood is traded daily at this mammoth Tokyo institution. Tsukiji Market is nothing short of the world’s foremost when it comes to buying and selling high-grade catch, although it also houses stalls for fruit, vegetables, flowers and meat. Today we join a local food & culture expert in understanding and navigating the labyrinthine facility.
Our tour begins at the main gate of Tsukiji Honganji-Temple, where the group assembles before heading to the market. Our guide will educate us on the goings-on as we enter the fascinating outer market (jōgai-shijō) comprised by hundreds of food stalls and restaurants.
A wildly popular sushi making class makes up the second part of our morning. We’ll meet a professional sushi chef who will lead us through the rigorous steps of making first-class nigiri (and / or maki, temaki, uramaki, sashimi… the list goes on!).
We’ll end the tour & class by trying our own creations and that of our classmates. A morning deliciously spent!
