Where will the new Tsukiji fish market be located?

[torasan]

As some of you may have already heard, the current fish market -- iconic and world famous and crowd pleasing -- will be moved to another place in Tokyo, which, I have been told, is not easy to get to. Where?

The Tsukiji fish market will be relocated in a toxic waste dump in "COURTEBY TOKYO."

Wait, isn't it ALREADY on toxic land ?

thanks for this info, TT, i didn't know re: ''According to the Asahi Shimbun, the new market will be located in a few kilometers from the Tsukiji market in a complex in the Koto Ward and spread out over 408,000 square meters of floor space''....

I remember a few long nights when I missed the train home back to Akabane area, and took a taxi to the fish market around 2 am to spend a few hours watching it come to life in the wee hours, and then having sushi breakfast in some small joint inside the market, as the sun rose. Memories are made of this.

Yea, who wouldn't aim for a fish market at 2 am instead of trying to find a fucking place to sleep...

Probably why they moved it....too much mercury runoff was ruining the umami

I thought mercury was a traditional part of the diet

The new trend appears to be cesium though many still cling to crazy high mercury intake

Seriously though...one of my friend's daughter has tuna on almost a daily basis. The friend doesn't believe there is anything "real" behind the kaigai thinking about mercury in that stuff.

Nah, Audis are cheaper than Maguro.

Will they have electric trolley racing facilities for drunk foreign tourists?

Interesting juxtaposition: the new market is opposite the "@Tokyo" data centre, which is where the TSE and a lot of finance companies keep their servers.

I think the @Tokyo data centre has a lot better ventilation than the tuna auction room appears to have. I am not sure I'd want to visit without some nice professional quality nose plugs...

Good times.
