Introduction

Located between the train station and Kenroku-en Garden in the Kanazawa tourist area, the fish market with its predominantly retail tourist business model and fresh and diverse seafood products has been warmly welcomed. Most of the market's commodities are for immediate consumption, and popular products such as sea urchins, oysters, horsehair crabs (snow crabs), and sweet shrimps boast quality assurance and affordable prices. The seafood here comes from the Sea of Japan, which has cold water and superior quality over Pacific seafood, making it more delicious and affordable. Furthermore, the market has a variety of fruits, making a simple lunch an excellent solution for half of the hunger, and bringing some back to the hotel for a delicious dinner.
