I went to Tsukiji Market, which has only one month left until the market closes. First of all, prepare your stomach with the morning porridge set meal at a cafe in Tsukiji Honganji. This is named "18 Breakfast", and colorful small plates are lined up on the tray to stimulate your appetite. It is said that 18 is named after Amida's 48th vows, "I will never abandon you."
Among the side dishes, ingredients from Tsukiji Market are used, such as fried Tsukiji matsuro, fried Tsukiji Kibun's fish tofu rags, and Tsukudani, the best sweet kelp in Tsukiji Edo. I tasted the wishes of the Buddha and it was a satisfying breakfast.
Tsukiji Honganji Cafe Tsumugi is open from 8:00 to 21:00 Morning 8:00 to 11:00.
Next, we headed through the Tsukiji Fish Bank building built by Chuo-ku in 2016 to the market. Since its opening in 1935, it has been traded for about 3,000 tons of fish and vegetables a day.
In the background of the buildings of Tsukishima and Harumi, commercial cars were coming and going. Eighty-three years have passed since the opening, and aging buildings and equipment and hygiene issues have led to the relocation of Toyosu. Many rats are also inhabited. It has been spread.
After relocating to Toyosu, the site for five Tokyo Domes, it will be used as a depot for the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, and has not been determined thereafter. It seems that the out-of-office market will remain as it is, and it seems that it will be decided later this month by election whether to make it a Tsukiji Out-of-office market or another name. I hope that Tsukiji Honganji and Hamarikyu will be close to each other, and that sightseeing spots that are popular with foreigners will develop.
The Tsukiji Market will close on October 6 and the relocation to Toyosu Market will be October 11.
