O atrakcí
Rychlá fakta: Fragrant steam from simmering broths and sizzling takoyaki mixes with the briny tang of fresh seafood, filling narrow aisles where vendors shout prices. More than 200 stalls and tiny eateries cram the place, with seafood arriving daily from nearby ports so sashimi can be served within hours of being caught.
Zajímavosti: Locals gather as a crab vendor lifts a 1.5-kilogram snow crab onto an old brass scale, calling out the price in a sing-song voice that echoes through the aisles. Behind one lane, twelve low counters seat customers under warm bulbs where chefs shave translucent slices of kanburi and hand them over with a dab of wasabi and soy.
Insider tipy
- Wear comfortable shoes and expect narrow, sometimes wet aisles.
- Bring small bills and coins; many stalls do not take cards.
- Go early on a weekday to see deliveries and get the best selection before crowds arrive.
- Ask permission before photographing vendors or plated food, and step to the side to avoid blocking aisles.
