Fantastic place Uber fantastic food. Bustling crowd starting from the early morning till about noon. You should definitely visit if possible, for the kitchen equipment and odds n ends if not for the food :)

I’ve been to Tsukiji and it’s a mix of busy workers, traffic, protocol and unique foods not seen as available elsewhere. Definitely beyond the scope of just a quick view, but stay out of the way. People are working here and it’s only fresh for so long! The workers are moving quickly and some vendors are more open to visitors than others. I feel badly for the shops surrounding the soon-to-be old Tsukiji, as their livelihood is being diminished. Only ten minutes away is okay, the vendors from across the metro area can travel there, so a little farther is not a problem for supply, but these little shops count on foot traffic that is leaving the area. Glad I was able to see the morning auctions and pick up some items. Here’s hoping that the new truly improves on the old, instead of just making it bigger.

When I went there in the ’70s, I was the only gaijin there! Check out my pictures @ my Flickr site:

I visited in 2007 and it was a bit crazy even then; carts flying by and narrow corridors. I can imagine a larger space would do it good.
