Synopsis
Tsukiji Fish Market in
Tokyo is significant not only by its scale but by the unique role it has played
in Japanese food culture. About 2,000 tons of fish arrive at Tsukiji every
morning. There are about 700 intermediate whole sellers called ‘nakaoroshi’
running their own fish shops under one roof.
Through the lives of professionals
working at Tsukiji, the film portrays how the market has been the centre of the
nation’s culinary culture and helped Japanese food culture to flourish as we
know it today.
