EATING AT THE FAMOUS TSUKIJI FISH MARKET IN TOKYO, JAPAN World Tour | Fung Bros

This is a sight to see, A.B. That is a real big tuna head. What's going on, everybody? It's Andrew from the Fun Bros. I'm here with A.B. What's good? And we are here in Tokyo, Japan right now. We are outside of the largest wholesale fish and seafood market in the entire world. This is where you can get some of the best seafood you can possibly buy. Yes, I'm talking about the world famous Tsukiji Market. First off, we're gonna check out the outer market, and then we're gonna go inside the market, and then we're gonna go have lunch. Representing Japan Food Drink Tour, our Tsukiji Market expert, Kazu. Good morning, ohayou gozaimasu. Hi, I'm Yukiko, ohayou gozaimasu. Hey, Lou here, what's up? Big shout out to KK Dave. They are Asia's leading travel platform. Definitely check them out at the link below. Are you guys ready? Let's go! We're at the outer market right now, and starting off, it's very important to note that they have dried sardines, kelp, and dried mushrooms. Those are important ingredients for a lot of seafood broth. It's called dashi. So they do not just have fish and seafood at the Tsukiji Market. They actually have a lot of delicious snacks. This is one of the most famous sushi restaurants because the owner is known to have the record for buying the most expensive fish at the Tsukiji Market auction, 1.5 million US dollars. That makes sense. I've been seeing his face postered everywhere. It's important to note that if you wanna go to the auction, you gotta arrive here maybe around 3 a.m. and try to get a vest. They only give out 120 at a time, so once they're all done, you're out of luck. We got Kazu here. He's about to buy a real piece of wasabi. Not the one that comes out of the tube, not the paste. We're talking about real wasabi. This is so cool because you get to feel like the hustle and bustle of everything. People are here buying for their restaurant, buying for their dinner. You know, it's also a big tourist attraction. But yo, they got a lot of fresh produce here. Excuse me, I'm here to buy some grapes. We got people rolling through with carts. Gotta watch your step out here. $40 grapes. These are $40 grapes, guys. Why are these strawberries and grapes so expensive? Mostly due to land and the labor costs in Japan, and they meticulously take care of each individual fruit. Definitely look different. If you get the chance to try $40 grapes, I don't know, I feel like you gotta take it, man. I'm curious now. This is the famous Japanese omelet egg, tamago. When you talk about Japanese omelet, it really does look like an omelet where it has different ingredients like vegetables or shrimp. Hey, they brought a big plate. Look at how fresh this is right here. It's very hot, be careful. Not your average egg. Tamago. Yo, I heard they'll let us film them making it, so we should go check out the process. We are entering the tamago zone. Willy Wonka and tamago factory. This is a sight to see. Hey, B, that is a real big tuna head. I'm used to seeing like smaller tuna, but that's a big one, man. Hey, yo, AB, this is uni on scallop. Where else can you get something like this? She roasting the uni, oh, ooh. Soften it up. This is something else. Oh, all right, not every stall out here is amazing, but this one is actually hidden. We went here the other day, and I would say they're not all equal, but this one, it hits. If you ever come to the Tsukiji market, definitely try the scallop with uni on it. You ate all the uni, man. What, that's the uni that came off mine. Are you sure? Yeah, I'm positive. All right, my bad. He's just trying to take my piece now. I wanted more uni. The outer market, guys, you gotta get here early. It opens until 3 p.m. The inner market itself, it closes by 1 p.m., and people are in there around 3 a.m. just trying to line up to see the auction or actually to participate in the auction. So the outer market consists of at least 400 different shops. You kind of really have to explore to find the best one. That's not just the outer market, that's like the outer town. Own little mini town. Man, I don't even know. This is his own economy, man. I know something about the dried scallops. What do you know? Yeah, my dad likes to put these in the congee a lot. Is this fish? Yeah, it's a piece of fillet of fish. Whoa, that's what bimido is. Because I was always wondering how you get the flakiness so it's actually aged, smoked, so it's really hard, and then they just shave it. And that's where you get those little bonito flakes that you put on top of like takoyaki, and then it like waves because of the heat. We haven't even got to the inner market yet. It has already been an adventure. Tsukiji. All right, Andrew, we're about to go into the inner market right now. They're keeping it at negative 55 Celsius. It's cod sperm. Cod sperm? That knife is for cutting tuna, and it's probably, he's probably used that knife for almost 30 years. Working at this fish market for like decades. But there's some rules to the market. Make sure you don't wear any flip-flops because they will not let you in, and if you get caught maybe doing something they don't like, they can kick you out. You're not really part of the business. They're just allowing us to see their world. People try to use every part of the tuna, even the head. That's a pile of head, bro. A lot of these vendors are wrapping up right now. You can see that the market's starting to slow down, but it's still, these people are just packing up, ready to end their day. They've started since like three in the morning. Bottom right here, that's, I am officially a buyer at the Tsukiji market. This does look like one of those movies of the factory where they're like arms dealer or something, except they just, they just arming you with fish. Yo, we just left the Tsukiji inner market. That's where all the professionals work. Honestly, you could read about it, and it just doesn't do it justice, man. When you're in there, there's this energy, this whole atmosphere is ridiculous. We bought some fresh scallops. Let's go get some food and let's go eat it somewhere. Let's get out of here. Kazuzan, where are we at right now? So we are just located in between the inner market and the outer market. So this is the opening from five in the morning, but from five to nine, this is the area for the professionals only. But after that, anybody can come in and buy. It's very good seafood in the market. Let me get this one. And also I recommend to take one of the lean tuna. One of the lean? So you know the difference between the lean and the. Good point. I should get one lean and one fatty. I love salmon. Salmon? Huge salmon fan. Look at this, guys. We got scallops and sashimi. I'm excited. The receipt. Still paper, still handwritten. All right, yo, we're on a rooftop and we are overlooking Tsukiji Market. This is an awesome view. A.B. setting it up. We're about to eat all the food that we just got from the market. Have you tasted it by itself yet? No, should I? It's very different from what you know. Let's see. That kick is actually sharper in a way. It like hits you quicker. Yeah, salmon first. Straight from the market. That's really good. That's really good, man. I'm gonna get some of this fresh wasabi. I'm gonna hit him on the regular tuna that's not super fatty. You know, dip a little bit here. I might say relatively, I usually like salmon better, but that tuna is great, man. Thank you. Spread it, spread it a little more. I'm gonna fold it up. That's really good sushi. Scallop. Scallop time, man. This is, we bought this actually from the- Inside market. This is from the inner market. Yeah, so just bite into it, man. Just bite into this. Yeah, it's super soft, tender, buttery, and sweet. Say no more. Wow, he did the whole thing. Yeah. It's good. It's not hard to chew or anything? I thought it was gonna be like real tuna. I thought I might choke on it, but I trust the market, so I just went for it. We got dessert real quick. This is a very expensive grape. This is the Shine Muscat, and this is the Peony, both grown in Japan. Yo, these are the most expensive grapes I've ever eaten. It tastes like candy. Yeah. Are you serious? It tastes like the grape candy, those little gummies. Probably the best grape I've ever had. Wait till you try the Peony. It's the most popular grape. That grape tastes like it has apple juice inside of it. That is so good. Juicy grapes. I've never had grapes like this before, man. What a perfect day. What a way to end it, man. As you can see right now, man, the Tsukiji market, it does not stop hustling, man, and I'm so glad we got to check it out. It's definitely one of the things you gotta do when you come to Tokyo, man, for sure, because there is not a fish market like this anywhere else. Thank you, Kazu-san, thank you, Yokiko-san.
