Tsukiji Market is Tokyo’s biggest wholesale fish market. The market is divided into separate areas for fish buyers, who are there for the auction, and for visitors to enjoy the fresh food. If you’re going to visit the market, it is advised to not stop and watch the auction in order to not interfere with the auction’s operations. Sushizanmai is one of the most popular restaurants in the (outside) market. Since the restaurant is open 24 hours, you can visit anytime. Let’s take a closer look at Sushizanmai and its food.
