Tokyo 无麸质 市场之旅(3)

We had the absolute pleasure of being guided by truly incredible guide, Kaori. From the moment we met her, Kaori was warm, welcoming, and so accommodating—especially to my older parents, making sure they felt comfortable throughout the walk. She was incredibly thoughtful, often checking in with them and adjusting the pace so everyone could enjoy the experience fully. It’s rare to find a guide who brings that level of care and attentiveness, and it truly meant the world to us. Kaori’s knowledge of Tsukiji was deep and fascinating, but what stood out even more was how she brought the market to life with her passion and storytelling. One of the highlights of the tour was when she took us behind one of the food stalls to show us how tamago is made—a truly special, behind-the-scenes peek that we never could’ve experienced on our own. Watching the process up close and hearing about the craft behind it was fascinating and really highlighted the beauty of Japanese culinary culture. And of course, the food itself was beyond delicious. Kaori introduced us to some of the best bites in the market, but the standout had to be the melt-in-your-mouth wagyu skewers—so juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every stop felt curated and intentional, and Kaori always made sure we had the best possible experience with each dish. Thank you, Kaori, for giving us a truly memorable day filled with laughter, learning, and lots of amazing food. You’re a treasure!

Was interesting, but the larger part of the market is the „tourist“-market only one building is actually the fish-market. So if you have enough time in Tokyo go for it, if you are an a tighter schedule save your time.

We had a great time wandering the fishmarkets with Romy. She was able to provide us with great information about the fishmarket history and culture. We were able to try different foods at the small stores. It was great having someone able to give us insights we would not have got on our own.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Tsukiji Outer Market tour with our guide Kanako. Her perspective as a local was very interesting as to how she and her family prepare and eat the food we were seeing. She knows the market and it's history well, and gave us a wonderful sampling of foods including fish cakes, sushi, wagu skewers, nuts, tea and sake. It was a complete 3hr tour. Well worth the time and money. Highly recommend.

It was an excellent tour that ends with a nice sashimi lunch. Highly recommend!
