Sadly, there was a recent fire in the outer Tsukiji Market at a legendary ramen shop. Luckily no one has been reported injured from the fire, but it is very sad to see some legendary Japanese street food stalls completely destroyed.
Ok, now back to the information from this Japanese street food tour of Tsukiji Market in Tokyo!
If you’re a food lover, there’s now way you’re going to visit Tokyo without a trip to Tsukiji Market. The inner part of the market is where you’ll find all the fresh seafood — the fish market part of the market. The outer part of the market is where you’ll find all sorts of Japanese street food snacks, some of which are seafood, others are not, and where you’ll find restaurants and all sorts of market stalls.
Here’s the list of everything I ate and where during this Japanese food tour in Tokyo (also, everything is on this map: goo.gl/zmPPMm):

This tour includes 10 different Japanese street foods. Probably my favorite thing of the entire day was the giant oysters, the amazing home style sushi, and the blowtorched seafood scallop. But really Tsukiji Market is a Japanese food paradise and a seafood lovers dream come true.
When you visit Tokyo, I hope you have an amazing time eating at Tsukiji Market!
