Description:

There's no better way to explore a new locale than through its culinary culture—explore the bustling market of Tsukji for a taste of the true Tokyo. Your expert guide leads the way as you trek from fish vendors peddling the day's fresh catch to street food stands offering up local specialties.

The Tsukji fish market is internationally renowned and the local hub for the sushi-loving region's fishing industry. Your walking tour starts first at the outer retail market, a network of small shops and stalls selling fresh seafood, dried goods, and specialty cooking utensils. Take them all in as your guide details the market's fascinating history and gives you a comprehensive overview of the vibrant culture that surrounds the market.

Of course, no trip to the market would be complete without a tasting or 2. Delight in appetizing offers from various stalls, from expertly sliced sashimi to crunchy pickled vegetables, savory miso to onigiri sushi rice balls with tasty fillings. Pull up a chair for a sit-down lunch of traditional Japanese cuisine—your meal could consist of fresh sushi, fragrant curry, or crispy crunchy tempura. End your meal on a sweet note with a delicious dessert of taiyaki pancakes with red bean paste.
