Post-Tsukiji Blues: Toyosu Market Struggles One Year After Launch

Toyosu Market’s problems are becoming more evident one year after its opening.

Business is going well, but the volume of fish remains lower than expected at the Toyosu Fisheries Intermediate Wholesale Market.

Seasonal fish are not drawing customers the way they used to.

Saury catches are among the smallest they have been in several years.

Always the most popular sushi shop in Tsukiji, Sushidai continues to draw crowds after relocating to Toyosu.

The giant tuna replica at the entrance to Toyosu’s Fisheries Wholesale Market building is a scale model of a 496-kilogram bluefin tuna, the largest ever sold at the old Tsukiji Fish Market.
