Trails to Tsukiji
"Trails to Tsukiji" is a show that focuses on Japanese food available at Tokyo's iconic Tsukiji Market where every kind of fresh food is gathered from around the country.


Our focus this time is on the pepper manganji togarashi, a traditional Japanese vegetable that originates in Kyoto. Manganji togarashi may look spicy, but it's actually sweet, and is so well regarded it's even used in gift exchanges. We visit a group of farmers preserving this local specialty and a chef of Italian cuisine who uses it in a variety of exciting dishes.
