We are not going to be drinking the groundwater. We are not going to be washing the fish in the groundwater," Ito said. "Safety has already been declared."

Gee. Well I guess THAT takes care of it. Its safe, because it has been DECLARED!

Eh, right! So, where DOES the water come from that is used throughout to clean fish, chopping blocks, and floors???

And what exactly "could have been handled better"? The actual move. Seems it was alright with a few glitches.

Quite appreciate the comments at the end of the article. I don't of anyone who has expressed great pleasure or called this a vast improvement.

Then entire 17 years long political push by the TMG to move those low life fish workers with no power out of the way for future pocket-lining development of that land next to Ginza?

The design may be better for the delivery systems and the wholesale workers, but the rest is a boring shell of what used to be a wildly mixed, energetic, chaotic and wonderful place. Seems very boring and inconvenient now. No one really can be expected to trust the "Toyosu brand"...no matter if it is fatuously insisted upon as the "Tsukiji brand". I am not buying my fish from there, but from a Sagami-wan dealer in the retail section. Does not go through Toyosu, no thank you.

"I really don't want to eat contaminated food," she said. "A market that needs to open with a safety declaration is a bit strange."

I wonder when she decided to pull her head out of the sand? I always thought that everyone in the country knew about the problems at the new site. Guess I was wrong!

I suppose she would rather have it open with a big arsed question mark hanging over it!

"I really don't want to eat contaminated food?" Could they have found anyone denser to interview?
