Tsukiji’s Outer Market

If the Tsukiji fish market is too intimidating for you, take a walk in the narrow streets just outside the market. You will find a wealth of seafood, fresh vegetables including the wasabi roots, dried seafood like bonito flakes and dried squids and many varieties of dried seaweed or kelp. There are also shops selling handcrafted sashimi knives and Japanese porcelain ware. The best quality sashimi restaurants are also located in this outer market.
