DAI-TOKYO Wholesale Market

The market, opened in 1966, is not only for professionals but also for ordinary customers. Over 75 stores cluster here providing seafood, meats, dry food and general goods as well as restaurants.

The seafood corner with shops for fresh and dried fish or tuna specialty is busy by 7am. Some are sold out quickly and it is best to come early. Fresh produce, meats, Asian food, and other food ingredients are all there. It is so much fun even just to look around.

General goods cover packaging supplies, clothes, toys, housewares, 100 yen goods, etc.
A tool shop with professional cookware, dishes, knives and other tools may be good for hunting for souvenirs.

There are about 15 restaurants which serve seafood, curry, or Asian dishes. Nonsharan Shokudo offers Big Mug (1,280 yen), a rice bowl with tuna direct from Tsukiji, heaped twice as much as regular tuna rice bowl. Tonkatsu BUTASAMA, which cooks brand pork, serves “Today’s Domestic Brand Tonkatsu Set” (1,400 yen and up) and “Honki Juice” (500 yen) made of 100% fruit juice.
