Toyosu fish market
Return of inbound tourists means prices are skyrocketing, with some places charging US$120 for a bowl of seafood.
Toyosu Senkyaku Banrai brings the charm of an old market town to a new tourist site in Tokyo.
He got his start in tuna wholesale when he was just 16, and today we’re learning from his experience.
The US$1.75 million bluefin tuna was bought by none other than the president of a popular sushi chain.
Unhappy about government-mandated move to new facility, wholesalers occupy part of the market to do business as usual.
We pay a visit to the new market to find out if the restaurants from Tsukiji are still as good as they used to be.
Photos and videos from first day at new fish market in Tokyo show a very different scene to Tsukiji.
We stop by to taste the continuing tradition and take a sneak peek at the replacement for the world-famous Tsukiji market.
Fishmongers, customers and tourists bid a sad farewell to the famous fish market, which was a Tsukiji mainstay for 83 years.
After more than 80 years, Tokyo’s world-famous fish market is relocating, but the head of this 104-year-old wholesaler has one concern.
