08. Tsukiji Fish Market

The Tsukiji Fish Market is one of the most famous attractions in Tokyo, housing the largest and busiest fish market in the world. While one typically has to get up crazy early (like 4am) to make it into the actual market and see the tuna auctions, we took it easy and arrived late, walked about the outside areas, then had lunch at the famous Sushi Dai.

  • Xixi opted for the 7 piece Omakase ($2,600 JPY) while I went for the 11 piece Omakase ($4,000 JPY). Mine came with an extra serving at the end of whatever I liked. While initially I thought the ootoro was the obvious choice, given how expensive it typically is, the lean tuna was so great that I just had to have another bite.

  • Whist larger than Ootanino and operating at a much faster pace (30-45 mins per seating), Sushi Dai still felt quite intimate and the chefs were great fun. The quality of sushi was still excellent, and it is definitely a value for your money.

  • We chose one of the most renowned restaurants, Sushi Dai. The queue was about 2 hours and we were incredibly lucky to barely make the cut to be in the very last sitting of customers for lunch. It was all worth it!

  • The sushi stalls just outside the inner market are very popular amongst tourists and locals alike. Expect to queue up several hours for the famous places.
