I think the fresh food is better in Tsukiji, and the kitchenwares are certainly better, and you can probably get better fish (for home) and kaisendon (for there). <br /><br />Ameyoko has the Asian specialty stores (basement of the building at the north end, behind the Doraemon statue), the spice stores, and the kinda menacing guys selling cheap fish (I've never tried it - looks to good to be true, so probably isn't!). Plus in Ameyoko I like the inside stores a lot - the funny clothing, leather, silver jewelry and cowboy shops, pens and gadgets. I would probably eat at the famous gyoza place next time I'm in Ameyoko even though there are cheap kaisendon places there too. <br /><br />Seems like I'm having trouble comparing. I never thought of them as similar, but you're right. Anyway, Tsukiji for fresh stuff+kitchenware, Ameyoko for museums+dried and ethnic foods+weird shopping (and Kappabashi closeby for the best in kitchenware).Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634199045147895899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902059134415809021.post-83782106461893243752010-03-26T03:45:37.571+09:002010-03-26T03:45:37.571+09:00Very nice.
