Top Areas for Sushi Lovers
The Charm of Tsukiji Outer Market
Even after the main market moved to Toyosu, Tsukiji’s outer market is still going strong. Many shops open early, making it perfect for enjoying fresh seafood bowls and sushi for breakfast. It’s not just tourists—professional chefs come here to source ingredients, so the freshness is guaranteed.
You can find seafood bowls starting around 2,000 yen, offering excellent value. Walking around sampling tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet) and grilled scallop skewers is a uniquely Tsukiji experience. Search the hashtags #Tsukiji and #seafoodbowl on Instagram to see just how photogenic this place is.
Authentic Experiences at Toyosu Market
Toyosu Market is Tokyo’s new kitchen, having relocated from Tsukiji. Here, you can even observe the famous tuna auction (advance reservation required) and feel the market’s vibrant energy firsthand. Some restaurants inside the market open as early as 5 AM, making it worth the early wake-up.
For sushi, expect to pay around 5,000 to 15,000 yen at counter-style establishments, while conveyor belt sushi and seafood bowls run about 2,000 to 3,000 yen. Consider ordering the omakase course and letting the chef choose for you—it’s the best way to experience seasonal ingredients at their finest.
