TSUKIJI

5.00 h-Tsukiji Central Fish Market- the biggest wholesale fish and seafood market in the world and also one of the largest wholesale food markets of any kind! 400 different types of seafood from tiny sardines to 300kg tuna, from cheap seaweed to the most expensive caviar. Overall, more than 800,000 tons of seafood handled every year with a total value in excess of 6 billion $ US dollars (3000 tons of seafood per day) And tuna auction..experience I will never forget..impressive unloading tons of tuna. Frozen cut with saws, fresh carved with extremely long knives. unearthly experience for whole life!!! Tokyo is simply amazing!
