About Marché extérieur de Tsukiji
Le marché extérieur de Tsukiji est installé dans l'arrondissement de Chuo, à Tokyo, sur le site attenant à l'ancien marché de gros aux poissons. C'est à la fois un marché vivant et une véritable destination culinaire. Ses ruelles étroites regroupent plus de 400 échoppes et étals proposant fruits de mer frais, produits du terroir, ustensiles de cuisine et plats à emporter. Ouvert au public dans sa configuration actuelle dès les années 1930, le marché a poursuivi ses activités quotidiennes après le transfert du marché de gros intérieur vers Toyosu en octobre 2018.
Les visiteurs peuvent y goûter des sushis, du tamagoyaki (omelette roulée) et des spécialités de rue comme l'uni (oursin) ou les huîtres, proposés par de nombreuses petites cantines. Le marché fonctionne tôt le matin jusqu'à environ 14 h, la plupart des vendeurs fermant leur échoppe en début d'après-midi.
