Most people know Tsukiji Fish Market as a place for fresh seafood. As most shops are not open before 9 am, and if you happen to be early why not visit the market for some shopping. Perhaps blowing away 28000 yen on a snow crab may be a little extreme, but the assortment of dried seafood snacks at less than 500 yen/pack are perfect souvenirs. Do try the dried fish bones!
Whenever people know you are planning a meal at Tsukiji Market, they will often wish they could go along too. You can’t take them there BUT you can bring home some “sushi” for them. Have fun walking around the market and I am sure you will be able to find other interesting gifts.
*If you are planning to go to the inner sections of the market, beware of the food carts and do not step on the wooden crates as they are used to place the frozen tuna for auction.
