Breakfast in Tsukuji. A Tour of the Market District

Food is art. Discuss! So, what do you say? Yes or No? Well, hold-on answering until after a visit to Tsukiji market and a taste of its offerings, and you might just change your viewpoint. Many of its stalls have relocated, but that shouldn’t put you off. Plenty has remained, and the unique vibe of these areas continues to thrive. Kick-off with artisan coffee. Add in a Tsukuji breakfast, and green tea experience. Well, it’s like nothing you’ll find anywhere else. This is a breakfast tour, so ditch the hotel food, as you’re about to enter one of Tokyo’s historic food districts. Many of the vendors have moved on, but plenty of them remain, 65 in fact. So the smell of fresh tuna and other fish species will entice you in. This is your chance to taste the many flavours that make up the heart and soul of Japanese cuisine. Be sure to save some tummy space, get up early and be ready for a tour into cuisine central Japan. A true art form.
