Fresh seafood market with observation deck & eateries
"One of Tokyo’s largest seafood markets and a major direct source for high-end sushi ingredients used by many omakase providers; disruptions or tariff increases on imports from Japan are likely to translate into higher costs for restaurants and at-home sushi services that rely on its products." - Henna Bakshi
"Japan’s largest market now occupies a larger space in Toyosu, offering the best quality ingredients—from fresh seafood and meat to vegetables and fruits—and one of its must-see highlights is the live tuna auction: through glass windows you can watch tuna professionals quietly examine each fish before raising their hands to bid, a spectacle for first-time visitors where prices can soar (at the first auction in 2024, one bluefin sold for almost a million U.S. dollars). Many restaurants and eateries open early, making it a great place to grab breakfast; on the third floor of Suisan Nakaoroshi Uribatou, the building opposite the auction, local favorites range from sushi and unagi (grilled eel) to tonkatsu, gyudon, and curry rice." - Kyoko Nakayama
"A major fish market in Tokyo where tuna auctions are held."
"The famed Toyosu Market in Tokyo is a twice-weekly source for Sushi Maru’s Japanese seafood deliveries, supplying items such as hairy crab, squid, golden eye snapper, Spanish mackerel, and clams used on the omakase menu." - Helen I. Hwang
"I note that Chef Che sources his fish and rice straight from the famous Toyosu Fish Market in Japan, and that sourcing is presented as a point of pride and a foundation for the high quality of the omakase service." - Nadia Chaudhury
