TSUKIJI



Tsukiji - er Tokyos centrale fiskemarked.

Jeg har netop læst bogen - Kitchen Confidential - skrevet af amerikansk køkkenchef om livet i det bagerste af et køkken, ja andre læser Harry Potter, Bloch - Jensen læser om mad.




Jeg har vedhæftet hans beskrivelse af - på mission til Tokyo side 261 - 280, print ud og læs over natbordet.
Tsukiji er absolut et besøg værd - læs selv. W:\Andet\Studieture\2007-Japan\1-NBJ_KitchenConfidential.


Tsukiji Central Wholesale Market is a large wholesale market for fish, fruit and vegetables in central Tokyo. It is the most famous of over ten wholesale markets that handle the collection and distribution of fruit, vegetables, flowers, meat and fish in metropolitan Tokyo. Tsukiji Market is best known as one of the world's largest fish markets, handling over 2,000 tons of marine products per day.The sight of the many kinds of fresh fish, shellfish and other seafood and the busy atmosphere of scooters, trucks, sellers and buyers hurrying around, make Tsukiji Market one of Tokyo's major tourist attractions. However, since Tsukiji Market is a site where serious business is conducted, it is important for visitors not to interfere with the action by not bringing any large bags and not obstructing traffic along the narrow lanes.A visit is most recommended in the early and busy morning hours before 9am.

Note however, that the spectacular tuna auctions, held around 5am, have been closed to tourists as of May 2005 due to the interference caused by the sheer number of spectators and cases of misbehaving tourists (visitors touching tuna, obstructing people at work and causing distraction by flash photography).A visit to Tsukiji Market is best combined with a sushi breakfast at one of the several restaurants which are located in the market. Most of them open around five in the morning and close around noon.

The market is closed on Sundays, holidays and certain other days (see links below for a calendar).

How to get thereTsukiji Market is best accessed from Tsukijishijo Station on the Subway Oedo Line or Tsukiji Station on the Subway Hibiya Line.
