I know some may think it’s overrated. I seriously think it’s simply rated perfectly. I did not find the food to be expensive as others have said, maybe because I am from the States so compared to Japanese pricing it’s different. It’s popular for a reason. Extremely busy when I went but everyone works quickly to give you a delicious time. I honestly don’t think skipping out on this market is a smart idea. Tiktok’s will lead you to believe there’s more niche markets to visit, which yes go please, but there’s a HUGE reason as to why this is THE one everyone knows. Please visit. Have an empty stomach. And ENJOY!!!
ps: One of the BEST cod burgers I will ever get to enjoy was here. So fresh and delicious, the gentleman who made is put his craft in a beautiful manner for me. Make sure to check out the small alleyways, that’s where I found this life changing meal. Take your time here. Please. I loved it (:
Such a fun place to eat, shop, and explore! There’s an amazing variety of food, from fresh seafood like melt-in-your-mouth tuna, sushi, oysters, and grilled scallops, to sweet treats like the popular egg desserts that are totally worth the wait. The market is lively, colorful, and full of energy, making it a great spot for photos as well. While prices have gone up and some shops feel more geared toward tourists, most of the food is still delicious. Shops do close early, so it’s best to come in the morning, but even visiting in the afternoon can be rewarding with some great discounts. Overall, it’s a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy fresh food and soak in the vibrant market atmosphere.
Came here for breakfast in the morning. It wasn’t as crowded as before, though there was still a queue for tamagoyaki, and toro sushi was popular too. I bought mine from one of the shops without the long queue.
The sushi tasted decent, but since it was served outdoors, both the fish and rice were quite cold, ¥3000 for six pieces.
I still prefer sitting inside a sushi restaurant and enjoying sush.
Overall, it was a nice experience — especially in winter, having cold sushi with an iced yuzu drink.
Tsukiji Fish Market is such a must-visit in Tokyo 🐟✨
The whole place is super lively and full of energy, with so many food stalls to explore 🤍 It’s honestly a food lover’s paradise. Everywhere you look, there’s something good to try!
I got the seafood skewers 🦐🔥 and they were sooo fresh and tasty! You can really taste the quality of the seafood (juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked).
Also tried the strawberry mochi 🍓✨ which was such a nice sweet treat to balance everything. Soft, chewy, and refreshing! Definitely worth grabbing while walking around.
Overall, such a fun place to eat and explore 💫 Come hungry because you’ll want to try everything!
If you love seafood, matcha, wagyu, and cutlery, this is a must visit during your visit to Tokyo! Get here early if you can (like 7-8am), as the place gets super crowded after 9am. Come with cash!! There is at least one ATM, but come prepared with some money for your purchases. Be sure to skip breakfast (or whatever meal of the day) and come eat here instead. You will find just about everything you can imagine, and much that you can't, on this culinary adventure. We stopped and had a very fine sushi experience at a small shop between the streets around 8.30am...some of the best sushi I've ever had. Make sure you bring cash - most shops selling prepared food only take cash.
