The former head of Tokyo’s famed Tsukiji fish market visited a market in Sydney on Friday to advise the facility on its soon-to-commence redevelopment.
Hiroyuki Morimoto said the cultural differences between fish markets in Japan and Australia mean there are many areas where the two countries can learn from each other.
The iconic but rundown Tsukiji fish market was relocated to Tokyo’s Toyosu waterfront district in October, taking with it roughly 900 businesses.
