My family of 4 enjoyed a wonderful morning/afternoon with our awesome guide Tak. Tak took us around Tsukiji market to visit the various food stands. He knew which food stands to go to based on what we wanted to eat (sashimi, tamago, unagi, raw oysters, etc.). There is no way we could have navigated the marketplace by ourselves. I highly recommend Tak who was knowledgeable, funny, and energetic. Tak also took us to stands that sold tea, spices, and knew the owners so we could sample their goods. We stopped by a great market that sold dishes/bowls/cups and we purchased a few items that were very reasonable. Later we had a sushi lunch and walked around Ginza. I am Japanese American (understand only a little Japanese) and I would have been lost in Tsukiji without Tak. It is so important to make the most of your time so having a personal guide is critical. FYI, we have two teenagers and they also had a blast. Thank you Tak!
