Forget everything you read on travel blogs honestly. The main tourist spots at tsukiji are complete garbage now and cost double what they should. Been eating here for 4 years and trust me locals know better

Yamashita for tamago sandwich - this tiny stall near gate 6 has a line of japanese salarymen every morning at 6am which tells you everything. ¥200 for the most perfect egg sandwich youll ever taste. Creamy texture like nowhere else

Maruchu for sashimi bowls - zero english menu which is honestly the best sign possible. Just point at whatever looks freshest that day. Around ¥800 for cuts that cost ¥3000 in ginza. Old guy behind counter has been there 20 years

Nameless coffee stand next to jishu shrine - ancient vendor makes incredible coffee for ¥150 using beans from kyoto. No fancy machine just pure skill and a beat up kettle. Locals queue here not at those instagram cafes

Daikan for tamagoyaki - back alley spot where tsukiji workers eat lunch. Thick sweet egg blocks for ¥300. Completely different from tourist versions

Honestly skip daiwa and jiro completely those places are tourist jokes now. Actual locals laugh at the 2 hour lines. Same fish costs half the price 50 meters away
