出汁 美食之旅(3)

Was interesting, but the larger part of the market is the „tourist“-market only one building is actually the fish-market. So if you have enough time in Tokyo go for it, if you are an a tighter schedule save your time.

It's an exceptional opportunity for every foodie to watch, how mochi is pounding. Even more so to participate in it! We really enjoyed the interesting insights, and discovering the whole process – not to mention the unique deliciousness of the fresh mochi. We could even try four different types of it! The organisation of the whole event was very smooth: easy communication, clear itinerary, friendly and nice hosts, professional chef by the soup making (actually, it was a complete lunch), lot of further tips and informations on the traditional Japanese cuisine. Marie, our host is actually an advocate of the fermentation and traditional way of cooking ("washoku"), so she has a broader point of view on this topic. Through her experience, we could also get a deeper understanding on the usage of the ingredients and their health effects. It was a pleasure to meet her and participating on this experience. I would warmly recommend to all food lovers and enthusiasts! (The location is within reachable distance of many famous sake breweries and also not far from the Fushimi-inari shrine. So you can schedule nicely into your plans.)

We had a great time wandering the fishmarkets with Romy. She was able to provide us with great information about the fishmarket history and culture. We were able to try different foods at the small stores. It was great having someone able to give us insights we would not have got on our own.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Tsukiji Outer Market tour with our guide Kanako. Her perspective as a local was very interesting as to how she and her family prepare and eat the food we were seeing. She knows the market and it's history well, and gave us a wonderful sampling of foods including fish cakes, sushi, wagu skewers, nuts, tea and sake. It was a complete 3hr tour. Well worth the time and money. Highly recommend.

It was an excellent tour that ends with a nice sashimi lunch. Highly recommend!
