There are 2 tamago sellers on the same street, we initially lined up for the one with a longer line when we saw that this place had less people lining up, tamago was cheaper (¥150 for 1 stick vs ¥200 for the other stall), and staff looked friendlier / warmer reminiscent of your favorite aunties and uncles during family reunions

While we don't have a comparison because we ended up not trying the one with the longer line anymore, this place did not disappoint because the tamago was soooo good! Best tamago I've tasted in my life and best food I ate in Tsukiji market, hands down

I was a little confused about where to stand to wait for this since it looks like they cook in batches and then distribute to those waiting. One or 2 other people were waiting, and there were a lot of people just lingering about or in other lines in this crowded area of the market.

I stood across the street where it was allowed so I could eat - there are many signs around preventing people from standing at business entrances. Too many people standing in line for the tuna stand are making the...
