Best time to visit
Early morning on weekdays, before 9:00, to catch the freshest selection and smaller crowds. Avoid weekends and late afternoons when stalls close and tourist crowds swell.
Budget tips
Market entry is free; individual stalls charge for food, samples, and knife shops. Bring cash, share small plates to save money, and choose morning set menus for better value.

About
Hurtige fakta: Morgenluften dufter af salt og tang, mens handlende råber, skærer og vejer isglinsende fangst med blændende hastighed. Kokke og madentusiaster sniger sig ind på jagt efter sjældne fisk og specialingredienser, nogle boder påstår at have over 300 forskellige skaldyrsvarianter.
Højdepunkter: Prøv at forestille dig klokken 05:30: dampen fra nykogt misosuppe blander sig med duften af grillet tun, mens sælgere råber priser og stabler blå plastkasser mærket 'otoro' og 'uni', og nogle tun vejer over 200 kilo. En lille, charmerende tradition er, at stamkunder ofte får en gratis ekstra skive ultrafedt otoro direkte fra klingen efter købet, serveret på en lille bambustallerken så du kan smage den salte havluft og næsten smøragtige tekstur med det samme.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes; alleys are narrow and involve standing while eating.
- Watch for delivery carts and bicycles, step to the side when they pass.
- Ask before photographing vendors or food close up, many are happy but some prefer no photos.
- Skip long sit-down sushi restaurants and try standing counters or small stalls for faster, often cheaper, fresh sushi.
