Normally spectators don't get this kind of view. But when you're Chika you get full access. It's just one of the perks I guess. And we benefit from it so I can't complain. Thanks for the fun video.
Just thought I'd let you know, I introduced my Japanese language exchange friend to your other channel. She's in Canada now studying and having a hard time.
Hi Chika, wonderful video. Excellent reminder on turning on CC and really special footage as to "How to examine the tuna quality" Absolutely love Tsukiji and bought a hand made small sushi knife there. Keep those videos coming!
+Roger Ting I always find people asking for subtitles when they're actually there so I thought I'd insert a friendly reminder :) Glad you liked the video!
This was such a great video!! So unique and interesting! As a foreigner, I'm sure I will never get to see this in person. So it's awesome that you could show this to us all!
Great video Chika. It was great just watching the inner workings of the inner market on video so it must have been ever better in person. In NYC we have the Fulton fish market which is very old but it's not quite like your's. Thanks again and btw Tranh (?) Is very pretty!
Awesome video =) Thanks for sharing the inner Tsukiji market scene, didn't got the chance to visit the morning auction during my Tokyo trip and sad that they are relocating. But will definitely going back Tokyo!
Thanks for your touring and sharing for the Tsukiji market. I 've heard it for long time but haven't been there. It is sad they're moving it to another place. I hope it could have the same human touch atmosphere as it is now. .
I just read the city of Jakarta planning to build the fish market with Tsukiji Fish Market as the reference. So here I am watching your video. Thank you
I just wanna thanks to you for all videos. Im learning Japanese and English, it's so hard. But when I watch your video, I think Japan and Japan's cultures are super interesting and I wanna learning Japanese more and more. Nice video. Thank you so much. Arigatou gozaimastu
Hi Chika! Thanks so much for this video! I'm from Singapore and I love japan so much. I've been to the tsujiki tuna auction twice before but your video alone helped me see things I nv managed to! Haha can't wait for more of your tsujiki videos and I think it's so timely, given that the whole place is going to be history very soon... 動画を楽しみです！
Thanks for the wonderful footage, those auctioneers will always be a mystery to me. here in the Netherlands we have the flower market in Aalsmeer (perhaps the biggest in the world), where they use a big kind of clock with one dail, and the buyers have to press a button if they want to buy and think that the price is right. If you ever get the chance to come to the Netherlands, you should go and see this.
I would love to see this also. I've only been to the Netherlands once and really need to return. This video of the fish market is amazing. I was there and loved every second but I'm nowhere as good at video. Also, best sushi breakfast I've ever had!
oh wow ... I'll be there in june and I wanted to visit tsukiji this time around because last time I came to Japan I spent too much time visiting my family and didn't have enough time to visit many places. =(
Aww, that market relocation made me feel kind of sad. Your friends are super lucky to have gotten in on that experience and I am really envious. I plan to go to Japan in the future and I would've loved to be able to take a gander at the market the way it was like you girls did.
Thanks for uploading subtitles in Japanese as well as the English translation. If anything, I've learned that I really need to work on my listening skills! Tama-san speaks so quickly!!
@@japanagos In Britain, Town Criers would ring a bell. "Hear ye!" they shout, to grab your attention before announcing the news, such as an auction or market.
Hi Chika, I really like your videos. They are pretty, stabil and the audio are super clear. I'm planning to do videos too. Do you mind sharing the equipments you use to do the recording? Really hope that you can advice me. Thank you!
Chicka would they let me stay if I showed up with a BBQ grill and started cooking LOL that looks so GOOD and Yes I live in the mid west and we don't have good Seafood here AT ALL
I'm glad to see inside of Tsukiji market specially big tuna fish auction⭐️ Can I apply for seeing an auction in advance ? Or It's only for staff these days? I definitely want to visit there before transfer to new place!
Kudos to you Chika-san for getting in to the inner market, filming(as you said, it's not easy to shoot the video in the inner market cuz of its closeness) and sharing it to us! And I really appreciated that you talked about the relocation of Tsukiji. Now I could see the glimpse of the feelings and nostalgia of many people working there.日本人でもなかなか見ることができない場内を見ることができて嬉しく思います！ナレーションが少し鼻声に聞こえたのですが体調大丈夫ですか？（それとも花粉症かな笑？）御自愛ください、また次の動画楽しみにしています♡
Now the Tsukiji Fish Market has moved to a new place, any these street food outside the Tsukiji Fish Market still around ? Or majority of them shift to another place, if so, where ? Thanks
2 to 3 meter tuna...i used to inspect fishing boats in guam and i used to see 6 foot tuna without tails that would be flown to japan and people wouldn't believe me when i told them about the size of the tuna i saw
Wow, you are lucky to have friends that work in the market. I was hoping you would tell us what they were saying because I didn't know either. It seems like a lot of what they are doing is for presentation? Or maybe it's what they always did? I actually had a chance to watch the auction back in 2014. It was pretty amazing. We were up early that morning at 2:30 AM to make it there on time to stand in line. I went to Daiwa Sushi after the auction because the line for Sushi Dai was so long. That fish was the best fish I ate in my life! Actually, the day I went to see you and Co-san in Shibuya I was online for Sushi Dai but didn't make it in because I was going to be late for your event. Apparently, three hours is not long enough for that place. Maybe it's overrated.
+Kenneth Lee it's a lot of numbers - as you would guess with any auction. It also sounds like they're calling out the names of the fish and where they're from?
whoa.. just came a cross your channel, and i like it. umm.. by the way, me and my friends are planning to visit japan for about 9 days, at 11-19 September. and we think, tsukiji is a good place to visit, especially before it got moved to the new place.. I just wondering, could you or friend, Tama-san(?) to get us in for seeing the auction? or there are other way to see the auction?
I hope you got to go! In case anyone else is wondering, it is free to get into the fish auction. Anyone can go. You just need to wait in line and it is generally recommended to get there around 1AM.
Hey, really impressive video. I am currently doing some short movies about different countries of the world for an unique culinaric event in Austria, which is part of my diploma thesis. I am looking for material to use in the short movie about Japan. This would be a really nice scene to include.Would it be possible to use some parts of this video for my short film about Japan? I would really appreciate to hear from you :).
+anyname13579 It's relocating to an area called Toyosu, it's not too far actually. After having been around for over 80 years everything in Tsukiji is getting old. The buildings are not strong enough to cope with natural disasters and I guess the existing sanitation levels don't meet industry standards. In terms of timing, the Tsukiji area is going to be important in the Tokyo Olympics coming up so they're trying to get everything moving. as for the eels, filleting them while they're still alive makes the texture of the meat better ... or something along those lines!
+anyname13579 The way animals are killed actually makes quite a big difference for a decent junk of animals. If a animal is surprised when being killed their muscles contract. This is something you usually want to avoid with cows and pigs as it makes their meat though, but on something light like a fish, it might actually make the meat better. I guess for a more detailed explanation you would ask somebody who does this for a living.
Fish are usually gutted alive, whether in the market or back on the fishing vessel. Why? Well because it's easier that way, killing the fish before requires an extra step and is time consuming. I've worked on many fishing vessels before, and it's pretty horrid to see.
If you see the buyers, the frequent buyers, you'll see that they simply signal to the auctioneers with the amount they want to pay. It's like a fast-paced synergy they're doing there. :3
Both the auction and the market are free. To see the auction, you need to go there and line up, usually around 1AM. They put you in two groups and there are two auctions (yellow vests and green vests when I was there). After the auction you can wonder around the outer market and purchase whatever you like. You can skip the auction, of course, and most people do. I got to chat with a tuna inspector at the auction and posted it as my first video (nowhere as exciting or well edited as this) but I definitely think the experience is worth it.
You're obviously fluent in both Japanese and English, but I was wondering, do you ever get told that you have a slight accent when you speak Japanese to other Japanese people, or are you able to switch accents? I'm always fascinated when I meet bilingual people who are able to switch languages so quickly, and I Was just curious if switching accents was as easy.
+HumanoidSparky It's not really switching accents ... it's switching languages. I don't have an accent in either language so when I switch, neither accent affects the other ... if that makes sense lol
I stopped eating tuna because I fear that they will go extinct but I do eat tuna when I am in Japan. Maybe that is weird or inconsistent but that is what I do.
First time I'm seeing a Japanese locality woww its really really amazing and cool to see
Wonderful video! I was in Japan in 2004 and really enjoyed my time there. This video brought back great memories of visiting the market. Thank you!

+Nathan Garza my perks are your perks!
Just thought I'd let you know, I introduced my Japanese language exchange friend to your other channel. She's in Canada now studying and having a hard time.
+Nathan Garza aw thank you! I hope she find it helpful :)
I couldn’t agree more, I watched one of the footage and that guy had to queue as early as 3.00am so go figure 😉
Hi Chika, wonderful video. Excellent reminder on turning on CC and really special footage as to "How to examine the tuna quality" Absolutely love Tsukiji and bought a hand made small sushi knife there. Keep those videos coming!

Man those auctions go really fast! thanks so much for sharing this. Something I'll most likely never get to do!
+Nut Case I know! I had no idea what they were saying lol
I never get tired watching videos about Tsukiji fish market. Its always interesting. Also I love your videos! (Btw, Chika your skin is amazing!)
Wow, that's so cool that you got to bring your friends into the inner market! :D
You guys have so much energy in the morning! Lol
Thanks Chika for this tour on the fish market!
I am excited to watch your videos! These are super fun!
bring back memories, last year i was there. Having sushi for breakfast and it was awesome!
I just went yesterday before I came back to the states. What an amazing place!
Just came across your video! I loved it. I went last weekend but super late most places were closed. Wish I had seen this video berofe going,
Love Tsukiji ! Stayed there for a week back in November. Great video! A+!
+Surfer Dan in Japan Yay, an A+!! :)

I have to go there soon!
Thank you for good informations.

@David Scott Hi David..
thanks for filming this... I was recently in Tokyo but unfortunately didn't make the 5AM market! Great video :)
I just wanna thanks to you for all videos. Im learning Japanese and English, it's so hard. But when I watch your video, I think Japan and Japan's cultures are super interesting and I wanna learning Japanese more and more.
Nice video. Thank you so much.

Thank you for the wonderful tour!
That was awesome!! Thank you sooo much
+May T more coming :)
Thank you for the video, I was at the Tsukiji fish market 2 weeks ago, but didnt get a chance to go inside the inner fish market.
Thanks for the wonderful footage, those auctioneers will always be a mystery to me. here in the Netherlands we have the flower market in Aalsmeer (perhaps the biggest in the world), where they use a big kind of clock with one dail, and the buyers have to press a button if they want to buy and think that the price is right.

Yea, I atleast got to see it from a great perspective thanks to you and your awesome video.
I was there yesterday but did not have front row seats like you did !
very exciting TUKIJI tour! I
Your video is right on time! I am going to Tsukiji Fish market this September!!! Hope it doesn't change much lol
Now I'm living in the Tokyo area, I deffo need to check out this legendary market!
+K&S TV (Japan ・Culture ・Fun) you can go inside the inner market after 9 :)
After 9! None of that getting up at 5 am silly stuff
Wonderful Vid Thank You again I really enjoyed it...
As a seafood lover (especially fish) I'd love to visit this place
Just seen a few videos of your channel. I randomly came across one of your videos. Glad I did. #Subscribed

Thanks for a great video of the fish market. I'm so sad to hear it's moving after being there for 80 years.

2 to 3 meter tuna...i used to inspect fishing boats in guam and i used to see 6 foot tuna without tails that would be flown to japan and people wouldn't believe me when i told them about the size of the tuna i saw
I actually like this Fish Market is so hygiene and clean in Japan and really different in my Country at Indonesia. 😁
This is the best place to go to if you want the best quality/fresh fish. But one question. Were you in one of the UA-cam rewind series?
+Akira Douglas yes rewind 2013 :)
It always amazes me just how huge fish actually are.
very nice beatiful vidéo i like japonais
they are so powerful!in seattle ,did you eat susi?

If i do not bother you guys, can anyone tell me where is the landmark of Tsukiji Fish market are located in Tokyo. Thanks. 😮
that was so cool! i sub to you! i want to see more!! before to see all by myself next year ;)
Watching the eel getting gutted alive is both cringe-worthy...but yet I am amazed at the efficiency of it all....
I've seen this on "Abroading in Japan"s channel , pretty cool place for just a fish market :P
Also , too bad the market is relocating , it really won't be the same if I visit that place :c

What would, say a tourist, need to do to get into the market area to purchase some fish/ seafood to bring back to their place to eat / cook later?
Both the auction and the market are free. To see the auction, you need to go there and line up, usually around 1AM. They put you in two groups and there are two auctions (yellow vests and green vests when I was there). After the auction you can wonder around the outer market and purchase whatever you like.

THE MARKET WILL BE MOVED

Good
Nice..
I stopped eating tuna because I fear that they will go extinct but I do eat tuna when I am in Japan. Maybe that is weird or inconsistent but that is what I do.
Omg, I feel so bad for the ones that are still alive. Especially the eels!! :'(
why is it relocating?
Music?
wow that's really sad that its moving. But great video anyway.
doyouknow"Nagoya"?
