Best Restaurants in Tsukiji (2026): Dinner You'll Still Be Talking About

Tsukiji is good for the outer market, sushi for breakfast and rolled omelettes, and the restaurants people save most are Tsukiji Sarashina no Sato, Sushi Iwa and Kitsuneya. Ranked from 18 places we track here, creator picks first.

Updated · 18 places we track in Tsukiji, all first recorded in March 2026

The wholesale market has moved to Toyosu, but the outer market stayed and it is still the place for fish before lunch. Marutake does the rolled omelettes, Kitsuneya serves gyudon before dawn, Sushizanmai never closes, and Tsukiji Sushicho is a standing sushi bar. Tsukiji Hongan-ji, the temple behind it, is worth five minutes. Go early, because most stalls wind down by early afternoon.
