In October this year, The Tsukiji fish market will be relocated to Toyosu, and it will finally come to the final chapter.
Personally I am memorable and makes me somewhat sentimental feeling, but the other day when we walked around the Toyosu new fish market, I felt interesting to the feeling of something new started.
Our company窶冱 president he has been working in Tsukiji for 30 years. but I am still a beginner in Tsukiji . its only 10 years.
Tsukiji fish market, which is said to be the best in the world.
There are many unspoken rules in Tsukiji fish market. and I love this unique atmosphere of Tsukiji.
Among them, the most unique rule is about 窶彷ood窶 rules. ﾂEven saying 窶彷ood窶 is not grormet but ﾂ窶徇eals窶 of those working in the Tsukiji fish market.
A lot of tourists recently makes a long line at the Sushi restaurants , which is representative of Tsukiji gourmet from early in the morning, but i will not talking about it today.(sorry…hahaha)
Look at this!!! Did you notice? It is not a fork or Chopsticks attached to this sandwich. It窶冱 a toothpick. and this is a normal style.There are nice reasons for this. People who work in the Tsukiji fish market handle fish , it isn窶冲 tasty to eat with its hands of that fish smell. Therefore, a toothpick that can eat easily without touching the bread is attached. And its cut smaller than normal sandwich. This is the same even if you ordered butter toast. Rules made by the a staff of long ago still remain. there are also many variations when order for toast bread. ﾂ ﾂ grilled? or no grilled? to cut of toast ? or no cut? you need butter ? you need cheese? you need jam? etc…. ….. if when you will say縲系ormal please縲購hen ordering , i don窶冲 know what will come.(hahaha)
Tsukiji fish market with lots of original !!
And one more rule we respect most. ﾂcoffee shops in Tsukiji. there is seat for old masters who comes at same time every morning. ﾂ that is not something that someone decided. its縲蛍nspoken rules縲
窶ｻold master/ old gentleman…竊 it we called 窶 DANNA窶敖
If i think that i sit without knowing anything, i am scared !!!
But most of these rules are for the Tuna shop窶冱 old masters( DANNA) ﾂ The tuna shop and tuna shop master in Tsukiji fish market has a big presence.ﾂ
Long time ago, when our company窶冱 president(name is OGI)He was still a rookie auctioneer, afeter finishing the auction for tuna , ﾂwhen he inadvertently sat in a coffee shop and drank coffee, then old master of tuna shop come in. ﾂold master He didn窶冲 say anything by looking at it , just closed the door and when back to the tuna shop. OGI he immediately thought that 縲薫MG!!!!!!!!縲溝nd immediately ran to the old master窶冱 tuna shop. and apologized. ﾂof course, OGI he was aware the experience of 窶忖nspoken rules窶 . However , he was careless because it was not time zone they ware coming. However, Old masters they never gets angry. ﾂBut!!! This action of 窶徃oing apologously窶 OGI he knew that it would affect his auctioneer life.ﾂ
Every morning, at the fixed time, at fixed place , eat a same menu and go back to work. A story of only about 30 minuets. I love such a wonderful atmosphere. Every morning someone ate curry , someone ate Ramen , someone ate bread…..
they keep on ﾂdoing it everyday for decades. its a special atmosphere of Tsukiji fish market.
However, only staff over the age of 40 know this unspoken rules. The tsukiji fish market where gradual change of generations is carried out, and new Toyosu fish market. there is another rules will start, and the times change.
its less than 8 mouths remaining until relocation. We would like to enjoy old rules and everyday tsukiji scenery.
Finally, Mr. Kakuno( Furukawa of tuna shop窶冱 old master) who was drinking after action of tuna every morning in this seat coffe. ﾂ( the third piece of the photo). ﾂMr, Kakuno has passed away before Tsukiji relocation. Every time i come through here i will feel Kakuno san .ﾂ
I pray from the bottom of my heart that his soul may rest in peace…….
