Tsukiji street foods

☆★Tsukiji 築地市場★☆

Tsukiji market where the most delicious fish comes to from the all over Japan.

If you like fish,

I think you would probably like Tskiji market(●´ω｀●)ゞ

The lively Tsukiji Market has become one of Japan's must-visit sites, attracting not only foreign tourists, but also visitors from within Japan, eager to get a glimpse-and perhaps taste- of the freshest seafood in the city!!

Tsukugon (佃權）千代田

This long-standing store has been plying its trade for around 140 years, selling seafood-paste products such as kamaboko(steamed and seasoned fish paste), hanpen(a pounded fish cake)

and date-maki (a rolled omelette mixed with fish paste) from two Tsukiji locations.

Follow your nose to the entrance, where both outlets serve up an enticing dish of chiyoda.

Fried white fish that's mixed with chopped onion and wrapped in bacon, for a tantalising mix of tastes and textures.

Tsukiji Kaihokan Kachidoki Sushi SouHonten

The speciality here is, of course, seafood-head to the first floor for rice bowl dishes, or the second floor for course meals.

If you want to grab a bite on the go, though, there's plenty to choose from, including fried tuna, as well as grilled scallops, king crab and oysters.

The salted, skewered shrimp makes for the perfect street snack!!

Yoshizawa Shoten (Matsuzaka beef)

In a departure from Tsukiji's usual seaside theme, Yoshizawa Shoten is actually a butcher shop that handles mainly beef - including Japanese black beef.

It also sells street snacks, such as the aforementioned black beef pickled in saikyo miso,as well as beef cutlets and grilled pork.

The fatty Matsuzaka beef minced meat cakes are the pick of the bunch though-

made with 100% ground Matsuzaka beef for a rich, juicy snack.

Suga Shoten

The odd-ball of the Tsukiji over-the-counter market, Suga Shoten sells

yumcha(dim-sum-like dishes taken with tea) that are cooked up in its billowing steamers.

The small meat buns are a good choice-generously stuffed and wrapped in a thin layer of dough-while the succulent black pork dumplings, made with pork shoulder roast from Abel farm pigs in Kagoshima prefecture, are juicy and delicious.

Senri-ken

Take a break at Senri-ken, an oasis for weary sightseers that's been selling its seafood dishes, fried food, and rice bowls since the early Taisho era.

Popular menu choices include stew, cakes and coffee, but if you plan to continue wandering while you munch, I'd have to recommend the fillet cutlet sandwich!!

The thick slabs of breaded pork are served between two slices of buttered toast, and seasoned with a sweet and spicy sauce for a sarnie that'll leave both your taste buds and stomach satisfied.

Kujira no Tomisui

A Kujira(whale) shop-the only one within the Tsukiji outer market -that has been consistently stocking whale meat for the past 30 years. It's not for everyone, of course, but if you want to sample fresh whale sashimi, tartare or other dishes, then this is the place to do it.

The storefront is lined with Kujira cutles, rice bowls,bacon,curries and more

If you're finding choosing difficult, try the crunchy and aromatic fried kujira.

Tsukiji Eel Eastery Nissin Tasuke

As one of Japan's more decadent treats, eel is usually one of the less wallet-friendly items on the menu.

This speciality shop doesn't treat its eel as a luxury item, though, instead cooking up a variety of styles to enjoy in a relaxed setting.
