I was in Japan last month and I enjoyed the food and the politeness of the people. My family and I are already planning to return to Japan in September. Looking forward to going to thisxmarket.
Totally appreciate your honesty and very informative video of "tourist pricing" 😳 ! Awesome..I'll visit Tsukiji because I've not been there. But will have my seafood bowl elsewhere as suggested! Thank you for your videos!!
Thanks, great video!!! We were just there, loved some of these and look forward to trying the rest on our next visit! I’ll add that we had an amazing experience at the tiny 4-person counter Sushi Okame - some of the best sushi we had in Tokyo. No English menu but if you know a few Japanese sushi words, you’ll be fine. We also loved the negitoro bowl at Tsukiji Donburi Ichiba. Try some of the places without lines! There are many gems there.
Great! I'm happy that you had fun a lot in Tsukiji!! And thanks for sharing your experience! I'm making good seafood rice bowl restaurants in Tsukiji so I'll visit Okame to see it!😆
@@hugo_sato You mean at Tsukiji right??? Basically churoto and otoro is pretty expensive so.... It's so hard to share... I think maguro sushi Okame or Kanno shoten would be good.
@@hugo_sato I already shared Ueno, Asakusa, and Tsukiji but Shinjuku, shibuya, Ikebukuro are good for tourism and shopping! my top 10 street food! that's good idea!! I'll select and film them!!! thanks!!
I love you're video's, they're helpful and entertaining. I'm excited to be traveling to Japan this summer. Form my first time. Thanks for the information!
Marutoyo that egg!!!!! Oishi!!!!! And reasonable priced!!! Yes u told me about Tsukiji was expensive!! And it was nice to hear your Honest opinions man!!!! ARIGATO!!!! 👍🏻
i've always wondered if the raw fish bowls in tsukiji are over-priced. thank you for your opinion. if i go i will check out some of the other foods you mentioned.
LOL what an honest guy! Your video is useful and informative, thanks! I'll be traveling to Tokyo in Sept, wonder what is the best time to visit Tsukiji Market? Early morning maybe? And btw, your English speaking speed is fine.
Tsukiji Fish Market opens very early in the morning so I think around 7 or 8 am would be the best timing to visit!! Thank you for letting me know about English! I'm so proud of it😁
Yeah but it's very friendly to people from foreign countries and workers at Tsukiji Fish Market speak fluent English and we can enjoy a lot of food at one place so it's still great place to visit👍
Thanks for another great video, Inok. Sometimes, tourists like me don’t mind the higher prices in Tsukiji, because the seafood and other food there would be a lot more expensive back in the countries that we live in. 😅 Also, the seafood especially, is fresher or is better quality than back in our home countries. But yes, the prices do seem higher in Tsukiji than elsewhere in Tokyo. We even went back to some of the same restaurants we went to before in different years and there are now bigger price increases. Still, Tsukiji is a lot of fun to explore. Hope you can show more shops in Tsukiji. Maybe some more places hidden upstairs or lesser known restaurants?
I see as you said Tsukiji is expensive but it's still cheaper than other countries. That totally makes sense but in local Japanese people opinion, it's too much😰 I got your request! I'll explore Tsukiji and share great food!!!
Also, it’s easy for tourists to try so many different kinds of foods in one area. Instead of going all over Tokyo in one day. And you can graze or snack on different smaller sized portions of food and share them with your family or friends. Then keep buying more foods to try.😋Tsukiji is especially good for first time visitors, because it is tourist friendly and easy to order food. So casual and we can eat on the street and not worry too much. It is such a unique place. But yes, overpriced for the locals. By the way, are there good restaurants to take children to? Or bigger groups, like more than 4 people? I know a lot of restaurants in Tokyo are meant for smaller groups. So maybe sometimes it’s challenging for the tourists to find good places which will accept them.
@@HotInTheCity Your comment is wonderful!! You got me!! Tsukiji is great place to travelers! They are really friendly! I guess there're many restaurants are good with children and bigger groups. It's everywhere in Tokyo. Unless you talk to staffs in Japanese. Like what kind of restaurant or Japanese food do you want? or want to know?? I can share some good restaurants!
@@foodinjapan2256 Not for me, but I think some travelers have a challenge finding restaurants for different people all traveling together. Such as families with children. They may end up at McDonald’s a lot. I guess chains like Dennys or family restaurants can be good for them. Or some people are vegetarians in the group. Just ideas for you.
I recommend to visit very early in the morning like 7 am or before then because around 9 am is already busy however some shops open around 9 am so 7 or 8 am should be good I guess... sorry it's always busy so I can't give you the best timing😅
I would also recommend going early. However, that might mean that you will be in the subway during rush hour, which for me is even more unpleasant than being at Tsukiji when its busier...
Hi, love this video! Anyway, which one is more expensive, Tsujiki or Kuromon market? Do you know if i can find wagyu beef in Kuromon market? Thank you.
I think Tsukiji is more expensive than Kuromon market but it depends on shops, Wanomiya Kuromon Ichiba store or Kobeya would be good palce to have Wagyu!
Lovely video. In personally find that Tsukiji is too crowded with tourists and prices reflect that. Last time i went there was a good couple years ago when the market was still there. Walking around the market after the morning auctions ended was a great experience.
@@foodinjapan2256 Yes, at the time I was only a visitor in Japan and a lovely Japanese friend woke up at 5am to guide me around the market area. We only found out once we got there that they don't let the public in so early :D Now I also live in Japan, but must admit I have not been there in ages. and Pssst don't tell anyone but I actually can't eat most fish :D:D
@@chibikkotravels It's a great story!! It makes me so impressed!! I'm so proud of you live in Japan and love Japan! I'll definitely keep in secret that you can't have most fish😁😁😁
Thank you for the very good video. I was last in Tsukiji this march, and for me, its gotten too touristy. At almost all the stalls/shops that looked good, people were queuing. For example, I really like Tamagoyaki, but waiting in line for at least 30 minutes for a piece of it on a stick, seemed too much for me. I got oyster, wagyu with uni and a tuna kaisendon without queuing, which was good. But overall, too many people, and I dont know if I will return there (I will certainly return to Tokyo). P.S. of course I know that I am also a tourist ;-).
@@swissfoodie3542 As said it's tooooo busy right now.... It was really tough to film in Tsukiji. I took couple of days to film food. I don't think I want to have food in Tsukiji because I guess same reason you have. Takosenbei is good but this is really hard to get it.... We can also have this in Enoshima where is part of Kanagara prefecture. if you want only Takosenbei, I guess it's better to go Enoshima.
It opens from 6 am but some stores still closes at that time and almost all the stores open at 9am but it's already busy enough so I guess 8 am around would be the best??
Great timing!! I just posted a new video about seafood restaurant in Tokyo!! please have a look!! Don't eat seafood at Tsukiji Fish Market! Eat in Isomaru Suisan! BBQ, Sushi, Sashimi everything here ua-cam.com/video/e18UlHB7xQ4/v-deo.html
I don't go travel spot so often except for filming. Japanese people know more reasonable and local restaurants or local Japanese chains but those are not really good for youtube videos.... so local people (including myself) tend to visit more reasonable restaurants or restaurants that are close to home I guess.
@@wilsonwilson5922 Probably no... It's great place to visit but to find new food, it's better to visit other places such as Asakusa, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Shibuya Harajuku etc.
🎉 Good video, but you talk way too fast and since you have a really strong accent, it's almost impossible to understand you. I suggest you talk a lot slower so people can understand you.

Great!!! It's still great place to visit!!! So many people are walking around and enjoy shopping and eating a lot!!😁😁
I was also there in 2019 and now again in march. Its still a great place to visit, but it has gotten much much more crowded.
The croquette looks amazing.
This is unique😁 It was good🤩 Can you have Mentaiko??
Thank you!

I'm researching and making a video soon!!
Where to eat these local foods in Shinjuku which is cheaper than Tsukiji fish market
Do you wanna eat seafood??
the seafood price is so high (because the tourist spot)
do you often visiting and eat food on the tourist spot?
I don't go travel spot so often except for filming. Japanese people know more reasonable and local restaurants or local Japanese chains but those are not really good for youtube videos.... so local people (including myself) tend to visit more reasonable restaurants or restaurants that are close to home I guess.
