Tokyo’s Toyosu market, the successor to Tsukiji

Tokyo’s Toyosu market, the successor to Tsukiji

Tokyo fishmonger Toshitaka Moria put it more succinctly to the New York Times (paywall): “Dirty is best.”

The most iconic sight at the late Tsukiji, the early morning tuna auction, resumed at Toyosu yesterday, as crowds of discerning fish buyers sized up the day’s offering.

The ritual is traditionally a major draw for lines of bleary-eyed tourists, but few were in sight at Toyosu.

The new market is still letting tourists view the tuna auction, but from the separate observation deck.
