Tsukiji-Fishmarket 築地市場: If you would like to attend the famous tuna fish auction, you have to be there at 3 am! If this is too early: The outer market (which is full of restaurants and shops) is open from about 5 am to 11 am, and the inner market (where the wholesale fish are processed and sold) opens to the public at 9 am.
Sushi Sei 寿司清 本店 is a recommended sushi restaurant in the middle of the fish market. By the way: In a suhi bar the seat closest to the chef is the best in the house and a position of honor, as you can learn here. If sushi is served at room temperature, you will have the true mouth-feel.

This shop is also full of bottles filled with this 100-year-old company’s shoyu sauces. The interior is a reproduction of their traditional in Kyushu. Barrels used for traditional soy sauce-making hang from the ceiling and special wooden trays (known as koji buta) are used as display shelves.
