(Exclusive Access of our Tour) (Add-on) Toyosu's Live Fish Auction Experience

While most visitors only ever hear about Toyosu's famous tuna auction, few know that just steps away, an equally fascinating scene unfolds each morning: the live fish auction. Here, buyers and dealers negotiate over tanks of still-swimming fish — species prized for their freshness and used in the finest sushi and kaiseki kitchens across Tokyo. Through our direct relationships with Toyosu's dealers, we offer guests rare access to this side of the market, rarely seen by outside visitors. Watch the rapid-fire bidding up close, learn how buyers judge a fish's quality while it's still alive, and understand why "ikeshime" (live-fish handling) matters so much to Japanese cuisine.
