About A Tour Through Tokyo’s Kitchen :

Spend the morning exploring Tokyo's iconic Tsukiji Fish Market, known for its vibrant food stalls and incredibly fresh sushi. While the tuna auction has moved to Toyosu, Tsukiji remains the best place to sample the same products sold there—over 2,500 tons and 450 types of fish pass through daily. From squid jerky to omelettes on a stick, the market offers a feast for all five senses.
At each stop, the guide shares insights into ingredients and traditions—how ginger and wasabi enhance sushi, how bonito-based dashi underpins Japanese cuisine, and how daifuku mochi embodies harmony through texture and simplicity. Whether on a rooftop terrace or at a stand-up counter, this is Tokyo's food scene as locals know it.
The tour also includes a visit to a small shrine near the market. Observe customs like passing through the torii gate and showing respect at the main hall. Before parting, ask your guide for tips on where to explore next.
