Tsukiji Outer Market

築地場外市場

Tsukiji, Tokyo · 東京

When the tuna auctions moved to Toyosu, the outer market of knife sellers, tamagoyaki stands, dashi merchants and standing sushi counters stayed exactly where it was.

Why it’s worth it

Breakfast here beats breakfast anywhere else in Tokyo. Arrive by eight, eat four small things from four different stalls, and buy dried bonito to take home.
