Tsukiji Wonderland Official 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.
