Tsukiji Outer Market and Sushi Making with Local Chef with Private Guide - Day Tour — CALL

Tsukiji Market, handled about 2,888 tons of marine products a day worth about 2.8 billion yen (US$20million) before half of it moved to its new location in Toyosu. Some 450 kinds of fish were received, from penny-per-piece sardines to golden brown dried sea slug caviar, a bargain at US$473 a pound. Some of the giant tuna sold for well over 1,000,000JPY each (US$8000). While the inner market has moved to its new location, the outer market remains standing and you can take time to wander through, exploring both the vegetable and fruit areas plus the impressive seafood section. You will stroll around the market with a guide and will be able to try some tasty samples as you explore.

Following this, it is time to start cooking. You will visit a restaurant for a sushi making experience. A Japanese sushi chef will answer all your questions about sushi and Japanese food culture and will help you to make a selection of delicious fresh sushi. You will then get to enjoy your homemade sushi for lunch.

Note: The tour will not be available on days when Tsukiji market is closed (every Sunday, Wednesday, and national holiday, and irregularly on other days). The tour focuses on the outer market open to the public at Tsukiji and not the new inner market located at Toyosu.
