Tsukiji Outside Market

After exiting the wholesale market, we walked around the perimeter of Tsukiji and were surprised to find so many vendors.  Some of the shop owners look as if they've been sitting in that same spot for decades, as their smiles reveal their happiness in the amount of customers that flood their stores.  Strolling through the area proved to be one of my favorite past times in Tokyo as we viewed everything the outside market had to offer.

There was a mix of shops and food stands

You'll find shops selling knives that are especially good for cutting fish.

Dried fish products are everywhere.

Yummy ika!

We even found a store full of different kinds of nori.  There were so many to choose from!

We ate the whole way down the street, and I had one of the best musubis ever!

Lines to sushi bars were quite long as Tsukiji boasts the freshest sushi in the world!

Save a day for Tsukiji Fish Market on your trip to Tokyo!
