Über diese Trap
Kuromon Ichiba is a covered food arcade near Nippombashi, and it changes character through the morning. Go between 8:30 and 9:30 for the freshest seafood and the local buyers, because after 10 more stalls switch to tourist portions on sticks. Eat at the counter or standing area each stall provides, since walking and eating blocks the narrow arcade. Bring cash, as some old-school stalls do not take cards, and arrive for an early lunch because popular seafood counters sell out before they close.
