I miss Tsukiji Market!

[Shitamachi Tom] September 26, 2018 12:00

The day of the relocation of Tsukiji Market (Tokyo Central Wholesale Market) to Toyosu is approaching.

Because I live nearby, I sometimes take a look at the morning market at this time. Is it my subjectivity to feel a little sadness in the usual hustle and bustle?

Several related facilities have already been closed, and [Mizu Shrine], which has moved from the fish shore of Nihonbashi, has already completed its transition. It's lonely to look at things that disappear little by little, but I think this is also a scene of the flow of history and I want to burn it firmly to my eyes.

The restaurant in [Uogashi Yokocho], which has filled the appetite of many market participants, will soon close. It seems that there are many shops that are full of this month. Many people rush every day in search of the last taste, and it is going to be difficult.

I would like to keep in mind that there was a market in Tsukiji and entrust myself to my thoughts for the future.
