A Fresh Catch

The bustling successor to Tsukiji Market, Toyosu Fish Market now reigns as Tokyo's premier fish wholesale location, servicing hundreds of culinary-industry customers in need of high-quality seafood. As the largest wholesale fish market in the world, Toyosu's floors are filled with a diverse range of seasonal seafood and staple menus, with areas that include the internationally-renowned tuna auction, as well as a large vegetable area also utilized by local eateries and fine-dining establishments. The lower market - where sellers tout glistening cuts of tuna, vivid gold urchin, eel, shellfish, and countless other fresh catches - is normally strictly off-limit to unaffiliated visitors. However, in this cultural experience, guests are guided by a 5th-generation sushi chef through the rows of stalls to the exact vendors used by premium sushi restaurants such as his. Take a private tour through Toyosu market, meet the vendors servicing Tokyo's famous culinary scene, and discover the secrets of sushi straight from a master chef.
