The market moved, but the town remained. In Tsukiji, Tokyo, there once stood one of the world's largest fish markets. In 2018, its wholesale function moved to Toyosu. But the outer market stayed here. Fresh fish, dried goods, rolled omelette, knives, dried bonito, some four hundred shops packed into narrow lanes, alive from early morning. Chefs come to buy, visitors eat seafood bowls, craftsmen have their knives sharpened. This was a town for professionals, and that air still lingers, real tools, real ingredients, nothing fake. The name Tsukiji means "built land"; in the Edo period, it was reclaimed from the sea. On that reclaimed ground a market rose, a town formed, a culture grew. Even after the move, people's feet remember the way here. One of Tokyo's defining food markets.
