Savor Fresh Seafood! Toyosu Market's Food Scene

A visit to Toyosu Market isn't complete without enjoying market dishes made with plenty of fresh seafood. The market is home to 39 restaurants serving a wide variety of food, including sushi, seafood rice bowls, tempura, eel, soba, Chinese cuisine, Western dishes, and curry.

The dining areas are mainly divided among the following 3 districts:
