Island in Tokyo Bay, Japan
Tsukudajima (佃島, "Tsukuda Island") is a small island in Tokyo Bay, facing Tsukiji to its west. Originally, Tsukudajima was a tiny island at the mouth of the Edogawa river in Tokyo Bay. It was inhabited by a fishing community who migrated from Osaka in early 1600s.[1] It is home to the famous dish Tsukudani (佃煮).[2] Next to it was built on reclaimed land the high-rise district of Tsukishima.
