	Tsukiji fish market - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tsukiji fish market is located near the Tsukiji Shijou Station on the Oedo subway line and Tsukiji Station on the Hibiya subway line.
		The "inner market" (jonai shijo) is the licensed wholesale market, where the auctions and most of the processing of the fish take place, and where licensed wholesale dealers (approximately 900 of them) operate small stalls.
		Fish not bought by the castle was sold near the Nihonbashi bridge, at a market called uogashi (literally, "fish quay") which was one of many specialized wholesale markets that lined the canals of Edo (as Tokyo was known until the 1870s).

	Tsukiji Fish Market
		Huge frozen fish carcasses are sold by lively auctioneers and their clipboard-toting assistants.
		Once the whole fish are sold to wholesalers, they go back to their stalls within the market to divide up the carcass into filets to sell to sushi markets.
		The market area is much more than a fish market ; there is a broad range of shops and stalls selling superb fruit and vegetables, (many of which are unique to Japan), knives, ceramics, etc. Many of the sushi restaurants are superb, as are the noodle stalls.

	Reviews Tsukiji
		But the fish was judged by the market and deemed not as worthy as it its neighbor.
		Bestor observes that market places are venues where traders “differentiate and validate shades of quality from which chefs and their clients can draw satisfaction of knowing they are connoisseurs.” The auction clearly is a mechanism that differentiated each fish—some fetched a high price, others a low one.
		While in the strictest sense Tsukiji is a market in which invisible hand pushes along actors to truck and barter along the lines of economic principles, Bestor points out what makes one fish desirable over another is steeped in culture.

		"Bestor seems to know better than anyone in the world about Tsukiji, the world's largest fish market in size...Bestor's book conveys the pre-dawn excitement of the market...[he] is as thorough and helpful a guide on the printed page as he is in person.
		In showing us the global reach of a major seafood market in Japan, Bestor is able to bring the best practices of ethnography to the abstractions of the economy, thus deepening our sense of how money, commodities, risk and drudgery meet to produce a specific - and brilliantly evoked - cultural economy.
		As he brings to life the sights and sounds of the marketplace, he reveals Tsukiji's rich internal culture, its place in Japanese cuisine, and the mercantile traditions that have shaped the marketplace since the early seventeenth century.
