11 years have passed since Toyosu Market in Tokyo opened. The new market is generally operating smoothly, but the handling volume of marine products is lower than the previous year due to sluggish consumption, etc., and we will stop using the latest equipment to reduce the handling volume. Has become an issue.

The Toyosu Market in Koto-ku, Tokyo was developed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government for around ¥ 570 billion as a central wholesale market to replace the Tsukiji market, which was popular as a Japanese kitchen.

On the morning of the 11th, one year after the opening, the auction was held at 5:30 am at the tuna wholesale area.

According to the capital, the Toyosu market has been operating smoothly over the past year, but the handling volume of fishery products from November to August after the relocation was about 289,500 tons. It has decreased by about 6% compared to the year.

This seems to be due to the continued sluggish consumption of fishery products and the increase in transactions that do not pass through the wholesale market.

Toyosu Market will respond to a new era of distribution by strengthening temperature and hygiene management, and using only these wholesale facilities that have introduced the latest processing facilities, will limit the reduction in handling volume. Is an issue.
