MK Guide Recommends
Opened in 2018 as the modern successor to Tsukiji’s legendary inner market, Toyosu Market is a vast, purpose-built complex that now handles the city’s wholesale seafood, produce, and flower trade. With its clean, climate-controlled auction floors and elevated observation decks, Toyosu merges efficiency with transparency, offering visitors a behind-the-glass look at early-morning tuna auctions and the intricate logistics of Japan’s food supply chain. The market also houses high-grade sushi restaurants run by former Tsukiji veterans, alongside shopping areas for kitchenware, dried goods, and seafood souvenirs. While it may lack Tsukiji’s grit, Toyosu makes up for it with scale, precision, and access.
