Wandering through the world's largest fish market.

"Not all who wander are lost" - Jr. Tolkien.

We embarked on a journey through Japan in autumn, in mid-November. In the cool weather, dressed in just the right amount of warm clothing and a light scarf, our first stop was the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo.

Với quy mô vô cùng rộng lớn và sự nhộn nhịp giao thương xuyên suốt cả một ngày khiến chợ cá Tsukiji trở thành một trong những điểm đến du lịch thu hút của Tokyo — With its immense size and bustling trade throughout the day, Tsukiji Fish Market has become one of Tokyo's most attractive tourist destinations.

Tsukiji Fish Market is one of the largest fish markets in the world, with a daily trade volume of 1,799 tons of seafood alone. The market covers an area of over 285,000 square meters.²This place is famous for its seafood products, but the consumption of fruits and vegetables is also very high. Furthermore, cooking-related items such as kitchen utensils, knives, cups, bowls, etc., are also widely sold.

The Tsukiji Fish Market is conveniently located, just a 5-minute walk from three nearby train stations. It's not only a source of food for the people of Tokyo and Japan, but it also promotes Japanese culinary culture to the international community, attracting a large number of tourists daily.

The food stalls here are set up along the roadside in the market, and what we liked most was the freshness of the seafood and meat. Although it operates as a roadside market with small stalls, the cleanliness and hygiene are highly rated. In addition, here you can experience incredibly fresh produce not only from the sea but also from the land, such as Yakitori chicken skewers and grilled Wagyu beef skewers...

The freshness and firmness of the crab and the sweetness of the shrimp are guaranteed not to disappoint. In addition, meat lovers absolutely shouldn't miss the grilled skewers, including the flavorful and succulent Wagyu beef skewers that seem to melt in your mouth.

Just stepping into the market, we felt like we were enjoying a complete feast, as it offered everything from appetizers to sweet desserts. A perfect street food experience with salads, shrimp, crab, meat, and ice cream. Although the market was a bit crowded and we might have to queue, it was well worth the wait for such a wonderful experience.

In particular, the chefs here are all highly skilled professionals with years of experience. Their attire, their cooking methods, their smiles, and their expressions of gratitude to visitors are enough to earn this place many stars. If you ever have the chance to visit Japan, don't miss this market; it would be a disservice to your taste buds if you didn't experience the dishes here.
