The "Fish Market" in central Tokyo. You can never imagine a modern Tokyo city to have a wet market right in the middle of the city.

This is where all master chefs in Tokyo come every morning to buy seafood for their restaurants. Whole Tuna from the Philippines General Santos are carefully inspected and auctioned here. Buyers and Sellers use sign language using fingers to negotiate their price.

The market comes alive at 4AM. It is full of activities when buyers and sellers negotiate for the best price. A wide variety of seafood from shellfish, octopus, Unagi (eel), exotic stone fish, large tunas, mushrooms, beans, ceramic plates and even tamago egg sushi can be found only in Tsukiji Fish Market. It is a one stop shop for all restaurants.
