Tour Point

Tsuna Auction at Tsukiji Market

Experience the energy and excitement of Tokyo's premier morning Fish Market – Tsukiji. See first hand as the early morning brokers seriously check deep inside the famous Tuna, using flashlights, as they assess the all-important quality. Then it's time for the Tuna Auction from 5:30am and 6:00am. Participants can experience this exciting daily event live.
Our professional tour guides will show you around the market safely in a small, exclusive group. You will also enjoy browsing various kinds of shops selling fish, vegetables, and dried seafood in the outer market.

Inner and outer market walk

  Especially attractive are more than 480 kinds of seafood such as fish, shells, and prawns in the seafood section, where you can see a complete tuna being cut and filleted. You will also enjoy browsing various kinds of shops selling fish, vegetables, nori (dried seaweed), and dried seafood in the outer market. You will buy some ingredients such as tuna for making your own sushi at a home.

Making sushi at home

  Ms. Kuniko Kikuchi, a food advisor of healthy food featuring ingredients such as soybeans, will show you how to cook sushi. She has a rich experience abroad and a good command of English. (In case she is not available, one of her students will instruct you.)

  You will make three kinds of sushi, Maki sushi (roll sushi), Gunkan-maki (a small clump of sushi rice wrapped with a strip of nori and topped with soft ingredients), and nigiri sushi (a clump of sushi rice topped with a slice of raw fish). You can make them easily by using special utensils. You will be surprised to see good shapes of sushi you made. After making sushi and arranging them on the plates beautifully, it’s time for a sushi party!

  At the end of the tour, the guide will take you back to the nearest station, Oji or Akabane Station of the JR Keihin-tohoku line.
