About Tsukiji Outer Market
El Tsukiji Outer Market se encuentra en el distrito de Chuo, en Tokio, junto al antiguo emplazamiento del mercado mayorista de pescado de Tsukiji. Se trata de un mercado gastronómico en pleno funcionamiento, compuesto por varias callejuelas con más de 400 puestos y tiendas donde se venden marisco fresco, verduras y hortalizas, utensilios de cocina y comida preparada. El mercado abrió al público en su forma actual durante la década de 1930 y siguió operando con normalidad después de que el mercado mayorista interior se trasladara a Toyosu en octubre de 2018. Los visitantes pueden probar sushi, tamagoyaki (tortilla enrollada) y aperitivos callejeros como uni (erizo de mar) y ostras en numerosos pequeños puestos de comida. El mercado abre desde primera hora de la mañana hasta aproximadamente las 14:00 h, y muchos vendedores cierran a primera hora de la tarde.
