Located on reclaimed land on the banks of Tokyo’s Sumida river, Tsukiji Market is the hub of the Japanese Fish industry. Stocking more than 450 marine products it handles 4,000 tonnes of fresh produce a day. The Japanese consume 1 million tonnes of tuna a year, equivalent to 30% of the total annual global catch.
