It is one of those areas of Tokyo which, despite a higher concentration of tourists, do not seem to lose their rough charm and intense authenticity. I hope they"ll let us roam the market for many years to come, as I heard that merchants asked to shut the tourists out.

I visited the market when I first arrived in Japan. It was amazing. I didn"t get to the tuna auction, but there was so much to see anyway that I didn"t miss seeing it. Also, some of the most interesting kitchen shops surround tsukiji market. I bought a small bamboo paddle there that I never saw anywhere else during my three years in Japan. It"s only about 3/4-inch wide and 8-inches long, and it"s so handy for the darndest things. I"ve used it for sauteing veggies, then turned around and used it to spread cream cheese on crackers.

Ted, I"ll try and get some recommendations to you before March, but I had a good time pretty much all around Japan. Very nice country to visit!

Fran�ois-Xavier,

Your website is a favorite -- and was one of my key resources when I made fresh pasta for the first time. I am taking my girlfriend to Tokyo in March and would enjoy your opinion on which restaurants to go to (or neighborhoods to seek out great restaurants in). Tsukiji is obviously on our list to visit (at the very least once) but I would love to hear some of your other Tokyo recommendations.

Many thanks for your dedication to documenting (and creating) excellent food.

Best,
Ted

Jeremie, thanks for visiting! The smell is there but not so strong as the fish is fresh and people are cleaning all the time. Stinking fish doesn"t sell, and this place is about only one thing - selling fish.

wooow, those chunks of tuna are just unbelievable! I"m wondering, how strong is the smell in the market?

The "Tuna brains" are shiroko 白子, fish milt - or fish sperm if you prefer that word.

Erita, you do not need to arrange anything to get into the tuna auction. Basically tourists are barred from entering but they do nonetheless. And if you don"t you"ll catch much of the action from the door steps, it"s a huge hangar with loads of gigantic tunas on the ground. Just make sure you come early and stay constantly alert for the electric trolleys who travel like bullets in the dark alleys. A very exciting place - I wish you a nice trip!

Hello Ranjan, indeed it is quite a tourist spot right now and there is certainly no lack of shacks selling all sorts of snacks, mostly fish based. There is even a little food market in the back. A very interesting spot for any traveling gourmet but quite an exhausting visit!

Why not make these places as a hot tourist spot with the places where fresh made fish snacks are also sold to food travellers.
