A great intro to Tsukiji Market
Coastal55848900503, October 2026
It was a phenomenal experience to learn all about the different tuna and cuts / grades. We got to see it prepared and sample maguro (blue fin and big eye) - akami, chutoro, and otoro. We also tried uni, several different kinds; green teas; Hokkaido hotate; and so many different kinds of snacks. Our guide was great, so friendly and helpful. He knew all the ins and outs so was able to move us through the market very well.
