Today , i gonna write something about Tsukiji Market . Tsukiji Fish market is a place tokyo in Chuo district .
Tsukiji is a whole sale market dealing in seafood and farming goods , the size of this place is around 250.000 square meter . Just think how big it is . , a size of soccer field is around 6000 square meter, that means Tsukiji market is 40 times bigger than soccer field .
Everyday more than 2000 tons of fish delivered in this place . There are 14.ooo people working in tsukiji everyday .
This is how tsukiji looks like in the past .
So , how is the system in Tsukiji market ?
Tsukiji seafood delivered directly from fishing ports , and wholesalers can sell their fish in tsukiji using an auction system . After that they sold it in 3 retailers , restaurants , sushi shops , and fish shops .
Tsukiji accept all of the fish in a freezing condition . In tsukiji, a premium tuna can be sold for 1.5 Million yen or 15000 USD . (O.o)!
The auction begin at 5.30 AM , every fish only being auctioned for 5 seconds . That 5 seconds decide wether you will get a nice tuna or not . If you get a nice tuna you can sell for a nice price .
And the sales started at 7.00 AM when customers come to that place .
Btw , usually you think that it is better to eat a raw fish that is fresh , right? . But it is not always like that , sometimes you have to keep a fish for 1 day to eat it .
Near tsukiji market there is a shrine named Namiyoke . The usage of this shrine is a place where you can pray and give a gratitude for the fish that you have eaten .
ok then i think , i will let the picture tell you the story 8D .
