Tsukiji Uogashi Fish Market: the best place for tours, shopping, restaurants, and gifts.

Our online fresh seafood shopping and same-day or next-day delivery service, “Tsukiji Sabuchan,” is located in and ship all the products from Tsukiji Uogashi Fish Market, inside the Tsukiji Outer Market, in Chuo-ku, Tsukiji, Tokyo. As we shop for seafood every day in Tsukiji Uogashi Fish Market, we know about Tsukiji Uogashi more than anyone else.

What is Tsukiji Uogashi Fish Market? Is it different from the Tsukiji Outer Market? Isn’t it true that the Tsukiji Fish Market has already moved to the Toyosu Fish Market? If so, does Tsukiji still sell seafood? Not many people, even Japanese, can’t answer these questions correctly.

We want everyone to understand more about the Tsukiji Uogashi Fish Market, where we purchase our seafood, so our Tsukiji Sabuchan is a valuable service.

Tsukiji Uogashi is a retail and wholesale market specializing in fresh food products in Tsukiji, Tokyo. It is a relatively new and clean market as it opened in October 2018, founded by the Chuo Ward, Tokyo.

Tsukiji originally had “Tsukiji Fish Market” or “Tsukiji Inner Market,” Tokyo Central Wholesale Market, crowded with many professional buyers and food suppliers from early morning. Tsukiji Market was also a popular tourist destination in Tokyo, attracting many visitors from inside and outside Japan. Outside the Tsukiji Market was an area called “Tsukiji Jogai” or “Tsukiji Outer Market,” where retail stores and restaurants were lined up, which made Tsukiji Market and the surrounding area a representative area of Tokyo’s food culture visited by both professionals and tourists.

Many concerns arose as the Tsukiji fish market was relocated to the Toyosu fish market.

• Professional buyers would no longer visit Tsukiji.
• The relocation of intermediate wholesalers to Toyosu would prevent professional buyers from interacting with vendors due to the distant location of Toyosu.
• Many shops around Tsukiji selling food products for local residents would shut down.
• Fewer tourists would visit the Tsukiji area due to a lack of the major attraction, the Tsukiji Market.

To mitigate those concerns, Chuo Ward created Tsukiji Uogashi, where vendors sell fresh food and seafood, to maintain the brand image of Tsukiji as a “foodie city” and to keep the area attractive even after the closure of the Tsukiji fish market.

All the shops in Tsukiji Uogashi are wholesalers and intermediaries operating in the Toyosu Market, primarily vendors initially working in the former Tsukiji Inner Market. To attract professional customers, it restricts the shops to vendors in the Toyosu Market. It is also beneficial for vendors to set up shops in Tsukiji Uogashi by capturing professional buyers’ needs who can’t visit the Toyosu fish market early in the morning or those who have no network with intermediaries in the Toyosu market.

Retail consumers can also utilize Tsukiji Uogashi Fish Market by purchasing fresh seafood directly from wholesalers at reasonable prices. Tourists also enjoy looking around the market, where various food is displayed.

You will see many great items auctioned in the Toyosu fish market in the morning when you visit Tsukiji Uogashi Fish Market. As professionals, including sushi restaurants in Tokyo, also shop there, the prices and quality are reasonable.

To sum up, Tsukiji Uogashi Fish Market is a food market where everyone enjoys shopping, including professional shoppers, sushi restaurants, local consumers, and tourists.

The Tsukiji Uogashi Fish Market is located in Chuo Ward, Tokyo, next to the Tsukiji Outer Market. The entrances face Harumi Street and Namiyoke Street and are easy to find, even for first-time visitors!

Access by trains or subways: it’s about a 5-minute walk from Exit A1 of Toei Oedo Line “Tsukiji Shijo (E-18),” or from Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line “Tsukiji (H-11).” You can also walk about 10 minutes from Hibiya Line or Asakusa Line “Higashi-Ginza (H-10, A-11)” or Oedo Line “Kachidoki (E-17).”

Access by buses: it’s also convenient to take the Toei buses “Tsukiji 6-chome” bus stop if you are also coming from the Harumi and Ariake areas!

Access by cars: “Tsukiji River First Parking Lot” and the “Tsukiji Outer Market Temporary Parking Lot” are located in the Tsukiji Fish Market and are the most convenient parking lots to visit. There can be busy days, such as the year-end period, and it may have long queues, so be prepared to see Tsukiji during these periods. Walking from slightly more distant parking options might be a good idea.

The business days of Tsukiji Uogashi Fish Market are generally the same as the operating days of Tokyo Central Wholesale Market, also known as Toyosu Market. The Central Wholesale Market is usually closed on Wednesdays and Sundays, and so is the Tsukiji Fish Market. However, the operating days can be changed during public holidays or the year-end and New Year holidays. We recommend you check the official website or other sources for confirmation before visiting.

The operating hours are generally from early morning, 5:00 AM to 3:00 PM. However, depending on the shop, they might close earlier if their products are sold out. We encourage you to come in the morning if you want fresh seafood. From 5:00 AM to 9:00 AM, it is primarily for professional buyers, so if you’re visiting for sightseeing or touring, it’s better to go and look around after 9:00 AM.

Entering the Tsukiji Uogashi Fish Market before 9:00 AM is not strictly limited to professionals. If you are coming to purchase ingredients and seafood, even as a consumer, you won’t have any issues shopping around. Security personnel typically won’t stop you. However, if you plan to visit as a group to buy food for your leisure, such as a barbecue or party, and ask the vendors various questions, it could disrupt the communication between professional buyers and vendors. We recommend tourists visit here after 9:00 AM unless you are familiar with the Tsukiji Fish Market.

The food court on the 3rd floor operates from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, which is longer than the market’s opening hours. However, please note that the operating hours of each shop inside the food court may vary, and not all are open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Going around 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM is recommended if you plan to have lunch.

Let’s look at what’s inside the Tsukiji Uogashi Fish Market. The floor plan above provides you an overview of the buildings.
Tsukiji Fish Market consists of two main buildings: the Odawarabashi Building and the Kaikobashi Building, which are three stories tall. You’ll find the traditional market space on the first floor of each building. The second floor of both buildings is designated for office and business use. The third floor has a food court and rooftop terrace area, offering a space where anyone can enjoy meals and take breaks.

Now, let’s take a brief look at each floor.

On the first floor of Tsukiji Uogashi Fish Market, shops are lined up on both sides of the aisles like this photo. You’ll feel the live atmosphere of the market. Since it’s built relatively new, the place is clean, making it a friendly environment for first-time visitors.

In addition to fresh seafood, you’ll find ready-to-eat items like prepared sushi, sashimi, and rice bowls, so it’s definitely worth a visit for tourists! While eating on the first floor of the Tsukiji Uogashi Fish Market is prohibited, you can bring your food to the third floor and enjoy them. This means you can purchase food on the first floor and then eat it on the third floor!

The third-floor food court looks like this, with tables arranged where you can enjoy dishes from various shops!

On the third-floor rooftop terrace, benches and parasols are set up, allowing you to enjoy the food from the food court or the seafood you purchased on the first floor to eat.

When I take my friends to the terrace, many are surprised, like, “I didn’t know this place!” so it may be one of Tsukiji’s hidden places.

So far, we’ve discussed the overview of Tsukiji Uogashi. Now, let’s dive into the specifics: what kind of shops/vendors are there, and what can you buy?

As mentioned earlier, the shops in Tsukiji Uogashi Fish Market are primarily wholesalers based in the Toyosu Fish Market, famous for high-quality and reasonably priced products for professionals. However, with so many shops lined up in the building, it can be challenging to identify which shop sells what type of food and which one to buy from. It takes some time to get used to. Our Tsukiji Sabuchan staff, working in Tsukiji Uogashi daily, have compiled a list of the go-to shops for particular items. Please take a look!
Let’s start with the shops in the Odawara-Bashi Building!

First, if you’re looking to buy fresh fish and shellfish in the Odawara-bashi Building, here are the go-to shops!
4 vendors primarily deal with fresh fish and shellfish in the Odawara-Bashi Building: Dainaka, Watanabe, Kuratatsu, and Kikuichi. Dainaka and Kuratatsu sell mainly to professionals, offering a wide variety of fresh fish and shellfish, often to sushi restaurants. Watanabe specializes in shellfish, selling rare shells like white shells, shittaka, and nagarami that are hard to find anywhere else in the Tsukiji Outer Market. Kikuichi, on the other hand, is more consumer-friendly, offering seafood like sashimi blocks and ready-to-eat fresh fish. The picture above showcases Dainaka’s storefront, where fish are sold in various forms, such as whole, halved, or blocked.

Oh, note that both Dainaka and Watanabe are our partner shops. So, if you want to place an order, let us know, and you can enjoy the same-day delivery of their products without leaving your home! We also support English.

Dainka offers a diverse range of fresh fish, including kinki (kichiji rockfish), nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch), kinmedai (red bream), and houbou (gurnard). Depending on the season, you might also find rare catches. It’s a delight for fish enthusiasts just to browse their display. Some fish are priced per piece, while others are sold by weight. If you need assistance, you can ask, “How much would this one fish cost?” and then friendly staffs support you.
Moreover, when the shop is not too busy, they are willing to descale, gut, and fillet the fish for you, making it convenient even for consumers. While they might not have many grab-and-go items suitable for tourists, this shop is indispensable if you want to purchase seasonal fresh fish. It’s a must-visit when you come to Tsukiji Uogashi. For the most recent photos of products, please check the Dainaka storefront photo page on the Tsukiji Sabuchan website!

Watanabe’s storefront is overflowing with shellfish! They have a wide variety of shellfish, including oysters, turban shells, scallops, mussels, and clams, the best assortment in Tsukiji. They also sell oysters ready for immediate consumption, making it easy for casual customers and tourists to buy. Besides shellfish, they also offer fresh fish and sashimi blocks, making this shop a must-see! You can view the latest offerings on the Watanabe storefront photo page, so if you’re interested, please take a look!

Next, if you are looking for auctioned tuna at the Toyosu Market in the Odawara-bashi Building, here are the vendors. When you think of the Tsukiji Fish Market, you first come up with a famous tuna auction! Although the tuna action takes place in the Toyosu Market now, tuna here in Tsukiji is auctioned in the Toyosu Market and immediately delivered to Tsukiji. To find the perfect tuna for your taste, thoroughly comparing each shop is a good idea.

The recommended shops to buy tuna in the Tsukiji Uogashi Odawara-Bashi Building are Koho, Tomitsune Suisan, Kitani Suisan, Tsukiji Tsugawa, and Tsukiji Daishi. Koho is a renowned shop for bluefin tuna, negitoro (minced tuna), and a marlin wholesaler. Tomitsune Suisan specializes in blocks of tuna and offcuts, offering attractively priced and easily accessible products. Kitani Suisan is an entertaining shop that sometimes demonstrates tuna filleting at the storefront. Tsugawa has a wide variety of affordable tuna blocks. Daishi provides tuna blocks and rare parts like the tail and cheek meat.

Tsukiji Sabuchan partners with Koho and Tomitsune Suisan, and auctioned tuna from them can be delivered on the same day via our service. If you’re interested, feel free to inquire through LINE!

The first thing you must try at Koho is their Negitoro! Negitoro is miced tuna. They use high-quality tuna for negitoro, which tastes fresh and delicious, so you won’t taste any additives. Once you taste it, you’ll never go back to the pre-packaged negitoro from supermarkets – it’s that good! Their offcuts also maintain this high standard, ensuring every bite is a hit. Koho should be at the top of your list if you’re craving tasty tuna! Of course, their tuna is from the Toyosu Market Tuna Auction. Additionally, Koho is also renowned as a distributor for marlin. Don’t think twice if you’re craving marlin sashimi; just head straight to Koho! You can check out the latest storefront photos of Koho on their photo page.

The highlight of Tomitsune Suisan is not only their tuna blocks but especially their affordable offcuts! You get lots of tuna for just around 1500 yen per pack. It’s perfect for seafood bowl lunches at home, dinner side dishes, or snacks. Again, once you taste these offcuts, you won’t be able to return to the supermarket tuna – it’s that addictive! You can check out the latest products on Tomitsune Suisan’s storefront photo page.

Let’s check the must-visit shops for sea urchins, fish roe, and shrimps in the Odawara-Bashi Building at the Tsukiji Uogashi Fish Market! Various shops in the Tsukiji Outer Market sell sea urchin and fish roe, but pricing varies significantly from one shop to another. Depending on the shop, you may even find the same brand or grade of product sold at totally different prices. Since many fish roe, like salmon roe, products are pre-packaged and frozen items, each store has its own policy—some highlight fresh products, while others try to sell off older stock quickly. Considering this category’s varied pricing and quality, comparing trusted shops within the Tsukiji Uogashi Fish Market is a good idea.

When buying sea urchins in the Tsukiji Uogashi building, Marushu Odawara-Bashi stands out with its extensive selection. For fish roe, Tsukiji Nisshin is your go-to spot; they offer a wide range of products like mentaiko (spicy fish eggs), ikura (salmon roe), kazunoko (herring roe), and tarako (cod roe). As for shrimp, shops like Sanei and Takakuni Suisan are strong contenders.

Marushu, Nisshin, and Sanei are partner wholesalers of Tsukiji Sabuchan, so same-day delivery is available for their products. Feel free to contact us for more details!

Marushu’s sea urchin section is simply spectacular!
They’re top-tier, even by Tsukiji standards regarding their sea urchin offerings. Just by looking at Marushu’s sea urchin section, you can get a pretty good idea of the day’s sea urchin market trends in the Toyosu Market—it’s no exaggeration! With a wide range of prices and types, this is absolutely a shop you’ll want to check out if you’re buying sea urchins in Tsukiji. For the latest sea urchin lineup, head over to Marushu Odawara-Bashi shop’s in-store photo page!

Tsukiji Nisshin is a strong contender for fish roe, salmon, mentaiko (spicy cod roe), and frozen products. They offer high-quality items at affordable prices. What’s exciting is that they’re selling not just pre-packaged items but also house-made original products, making for an ever-changing and fun storefront. The freshly made mentaiko and shiokara (salted squid) come highly recommended! Be sure to check out the latest in-store photos from Tsukiji Nisshin!

Sanei Shoten is a shrimp specialist with abundant shrimp on display! In addition to the classics like Black Tiger and Mexican Brown, they offer rare finds like “Angel Shrimp,” usually only seen in restaurants. They provide air-shipped shrimp from Hokkaido, such as sweet shrimp (Amaebi), Shimaebi, and Botanebi, which are perfect for sashimi. They even offer live Kuruma shrimp (Japanese tiger prawn) and luxurious options like spiny lobsters and Ise shrimp. Check out the in-store photos on Sanei Shoten’s page for more details!

Tsukiji offers a wide range of processed, dried, marinated, and frozen seafood for commercial and individual needs. Whether you’re looking for high-quality items or something more budget-friendly for everyday use, Tsukiji Uogashi has covered you! Once you become familiar with Tsukiji’s processed and frozen goods, you’ll navigate this fish market more wisely and efficiently!

In the Tsukiji Uogashi Odawara-Bashi Building, the shops with a wide selection of dried and marinated fish include Okume, Marufuku Suisan, Kintomi, and Isekume. Isekobu specializes in small dried fish like chirimenjako, dried young sardines. When it comes to dried items, such as seaweed and bonito flakes, Tsukiji Sankyo is your first choice. For processed fish products, such as fish cakes and tofu, Nerimono Wan is the go-to place. Kitada Suisan and KYOKUTO specialize in the field of professional frozen seafood, such as crabs and salmon.

Okume, Marufuku, Kintomi, Tsukiji Sankyo, Kitada Suisan, and KYOKUTO are all partners of the Tsukiji Sabuchan, which means its same-day delivery service is available! Feel free to reach out if you’re interested in any products from these shops. We’re here to help and look forward to your inquiries!

Okume specializes in dried fish and Saikyo Zuke fish, fish marinated with Kyoto-style miso. Founded in 1871, it’s a long-standing brand shop dating back to when the fish market was located in Nihonbashi before moving to the Tsukiji Fish Market. While the items they offer are high-end and high-priced, their deliciousness keeps Tsukiji Sabuchan customers coming back week after week to place orders. Their products are also perfect for gifts.
Since their storefront items change with the seasons, check out the latest storefront photos of Okume!

Marufuku Suisan is your go-to spot for a wide variety of dried fish! They also sell diverse items, like whale bacon, sushi shrimp, and salmon roe. One of the highlights of the storefront is its seasonal dried fish bulk-buy sale! You’ll often find dried fish priced between 200 to 300 yen per piece, making it even more of a steal when bought in bulk—making this an excellent shop for everyday use!
Remember that the types of dried fish vary depending on the season, so check out the latest storefront photos from Marufuku Suisan!

Kintomi is a shop that excels in salted salmon and marinated fish. In addition to that, they also offer eel, fish roe, dried fish, and other items. Many of their products last long, making it a great place to grab souvenirs from Tsukiji Uogashi. I highly recommend their affordable marinated fish (especially ao-hirasu, yellowtail amberjack)! You can also check out Kintomi’s storefront photos, so don’t miss out!

Next up is Tsukiji Sankyo, the go-to spot for dried goods, like seaweed and bonito flakes, at Tsukiji Uogashi. It’s the only shop in the market that offers such an extensive selection of dried products! They’ve got everything from seaweed, green laver, and grated kelp to bonito flakes and dried sardines for making broth, as well as a variety of condiments like soy sauce and ponzu. What’s more, they have a lot of original items, so you’ll find plenty of products that you can only get here! These are perfect for souvenirs to bring back home. Their store is also spacious with an extensive product range, so be sure to check out their product photos!

Kitada Suisan is a shop that specializes in frozen goods for professional use. Kitada Suisan offers a wide range of frozen seafood and has earned tremendous trust from local tempura and soba shops for their supplies. While you can find frozen goods at popular supermarkets, finding high-quality frozen products is pretty tough. If you visit the market for something higher quality in the frozen section, Kitada Suisan is definitely a must-visit. Their selection varies by season, featuring items like king crab, horsehair crabs, and salmon. Don’t miss out on its photos for the latest offerings!

KYOKUTO Odawara-Bashi also specializes in affordable frozen items. KYOKUTO also has a store in the Kaikyobashi building; interestingly, the products they carry differ slightly between the two locations. So, if you have some extra time, it’s a good idea to check out both! They offer a variety of affordable frozen items, many of which they purchase directly from sellers like crab. Whether shopping for everyday use or a bit of luxury, you’re sure to find something that fits the bill at KYOKUTO.

Now, let’s talk about recommended shops at Tsukiji Fish Market’s Odawarabashi building for purchasing meat and eggs. You might be surprised to hear, “Meat at Tsukiji Fish Market?” Yes, indeed, there are two shops handling meat. Shimada Seinikuten specializes in beef and pork, while Torijo Shoten focuses on chicken and duck. As of 2023, both shops are located at Odawarabashi, making it a one-stop destination for meat shopping at Tsukiji Fish Market! For eggs, Shinkai Shoji is the specialist at Odawarabashi. Other stores may also carry eggs, but Shinkai is by far the best in its variety.

Shimada Seinikuten specializes in impressive beef cuts, along with pork belly and various everyday cuts like beef offcuts. They primarily sell by weight and can custom-cut steaks to your liking. Especially popular is their profit-irrelevant Service Steak priced at ¥1,620 per piece, which sells out quickly due to its popularity. Depending on the season, they also offer wild boar meat and more, so be sure to check out Shimada Seinikuten’s latest storefront photos!

Their duck hot pot broth, duck balls (meatballs), and duck hot pot sets are extremely popular. With a wide variety of products, it’s worth checking out Torijo Shoten’s storefront offerings!

At Tsukiji Fish Market, the only specialized egg shop is Shinkai Shoji! They offer a wide range of eggs from everyday table eggs to specialty branded eggs, catering to various preferences. You might wonder about eggs priced from ¥40 to ¥100 each, but considering the typical cost of adding a basic egg topping in dining out, it’s actually quite affordable, haha.
The recommended egg brands can vary depending on the timing, so be sure to check out Shinkai Shoji’s storefront photo page for the latest lineup!

While there are multiple vegetable and fruit shops in Tsukiji Fish Market, most are located at Kaikoubashi building with only one at Odawarabashi building— that’s Komekin.

Next, let’s explore Yamago’s storefront. Yamago is a rare find in Tsukiji Fish Market, focusing primarily on pre-cooked ingredients. They are renowned as wholesalers of fresh fish, especially eel, supplying renowned eel establishments like Nihonbashi Tamai and Ginza Hirai. Their signature menu item is undoubtedly the simmered eel shown in the photos! In addition to whole simmered eels, they offer cut pieces, eel sushi, eel rice bowls, and a variety of bento boxes. For those who prefer to season their own dishes, they also offer raw eel before cooking! With a wide selection of bento and sushi types, be sure to check out Yamago’s storefront photos.

Let’s now explore the shops in the Kaikoubashi building at Tsukiji Fish Market that specialize in vegetables and fruits.
While Odawarabashi building had only one vegetable shop, Komekin, Kaikoubashi offers more variety with three shops: Sadamatsu, Kushiya, and Ooishi, focusing on vegetables and fruits. Additionally, Enju specializes in fruits, making a total of four shops. Each shop takes pride in its unique selection, offering vegetables and fruits that you won’t easily find in regular supermarkets, which is characteristic of Tsukiji.

First, let’s introduce Sadamatsu. Established in 1910, it’s a longstanding shop trusted by both professionals and the general public. As seen in the photos, they boast a wide range of fruits and a rich variety of vegetables, making them the most diverse in Tsukiji Fish Market. You can find almost any vegetable you need at Sadamatsu, and their offerings vary with the seasons. Be sure to check out the latest storefront photos of Sadamatsu.

Next, we have Kushiya, also well-known as a wholesaler. They offer a wide selection of vegetables and fruits, with particular strengths in wasabi and matsutake mushrooms. They keep wasabi available year-round, and during the matsutake season, they display a variety of options. We also have a collection of storefront photos for Kushiya, so please take a look.

Finally, let’s introduce Ooishi. While their range might be narrower compared to Sadamatsu and Kushiya, Ooishi prides itself on offering carefully selected, high-quality vegetables. They specialize in traditional vegetables like mountain vegetables, Kyoto vegetables, and decorative leaves, which you can only find at Oishi. As the shopkeepers say, “It wouldn’t be interesting if we just had ordinary items,” so for those with a passion for vegetables, this shop is a must-visit.

Now that we’ve gone through the 1st floors of Odawarabashi and Kaikoubashi, let’s proceed to explore the lineup on the 3rd floor food court. As mentioned earlier, the food court operates from 7 am until around evening, but the operating hours vary by shop. Some may not be open even at 7 am, while others close after the lunch hour, so it’s advisable to check carefully to ensure you can dine at your preferred time. For a guaranteed meal, it’s best to visit around noon.
As of spring 2023, “Uogashi Shokudou” food court hosts six establishments: Toto Grill, Odayasu, Toritou, Tekkaya, Yabusoba, and Senriken.

Toto Grill resembles a branch of an established Western cuisine eatery in Tsukiji, renowned for its omelet rice, curry, and deep fried dishes.

Odayasu is a beloved local eatery within Tsukiji’s precincts, now with two locations at Tsukiji Uogashi and Toyosu. Their roasted pork fillet with egg is exceptionally famous and delicious.

Toritou, a venerable poultry specialist known throughout the Tsukiji area, operates various chicken retail and dining establishments. Here at Uogashi, they offer a menu centered around chicken-based ramen at their “Toritou Torisoba Stand”.

Tekkaya is a tekkadon restaurant run by Hiei, a tuna middleman wholesaler in the Kaikoubashi building. Tekkadon is a bowl of rice topped with tuna. It is popular as a restaurant where you can easily enjoy Hiei’s tuna on the spot.

Yabusoba is a soba shop, as the name suggests. It is a long-established shop known as “Tsukiji Yabusoba”. Soba topped with hearty tempura is exquisite.

Senriken was established in 1914, when Nihonbashi had a fish market, and has been a favorite café and sweet shop of the market people ever since. At Uogashi, they offer sweets such as soft serve and pudding, as well as light meals like stew and bread.

All of the restaurants are familiar with Tsukiji and have a long history, so no matter where you eat, you will be able to commemorate your visit to Tsukiji! While Tsukiji is often associated with sushi and seafood bowls for lunch, enjoying lunch at these longstanding shops, steeped in the market’s heritage, is also a wonderful option!

Here we have Toritou’s soy sauce ramen and Soboro oyakodon! While the ramen is delicious, the oyakodon topped with chicken is exquisite! I know having a set with carbs can be fattening, but it’s hard to choose between the two… With many choices on the menu, such as Mushidori Soba, Tantanmen, and Fried Chicken Set Meal, you will never get tired of this restaurant even if you go back often!

Toto Grill’s omelette rice is also very tasty! I sometimes want to eat this kind of standard menu! It’s exactly the kind of straightforward lunch that’s loved in Tsukiji, even if it’s not seafood! 

Odaho’s Charsiu Egg is another must-try dish at the Tsukiji Fish Market Food Court! The sweet and savory charsiu paired with a fried egg is perfect for a casual lunch or a drink with friends.

There are plenty of other shops and menus to choose from, so please take a look at the 3rd floor food court at Tsukiji Uogashi!
