I sold fish at Tsukiji for 31 years — first for my uncle, then my own stall. I know every tuna grade, every seasonal fish, which counter restaurants in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa cut properly and which ones thaw frozen fish. The inner market moved to Toyosu in 2018 and I retired the same year, but the outer market still runs and I still go every morning because it's where all my friends are. I take people through it before the breakfast crowd arrives, then to a standing sushi counter run by a man who buys from the same suppliers I did for 20 years. Tokyo has extraordinary food if you know where to look. Most visitors never get close.
