Market

Members of the Fulbright delegation set to discover in the early hours of the morning the famous fish market and tuna auction where restaurant and shop owners come daily to purchase all types of seafood and to inspect and bid on the large tunas weighing up to 650 pounds.

Tsukiji Market is Tokyo's wholesale seafood distribution center, Japan's largest fish market, and one of the largest in the world. Located near the Ginza section of Tokyo, the market specializes in Maguro (tuna fish) brought straight from the fishing boats.
