If you want to have a morning meal in Obama

Open from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. When you come to Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, be sure to visit the Obama Osakana Center and enjoy morning activities. Markets are attractive places where local seafood is gathered, but depending on where you go, you may find yourself saying, "What? It's pretty expensive..." and some people feel a gap between the tourist prices and the local market prices. However, some places are quite expensive, and many people may feel a gap in price between the local seafood and the tourist attractions. For such people, I recommend "Obama Osakana Center". The Osakana Center's specialty is its "reasonable" prices.

I can't help but mutter to myself, "What...cheap! you will involuntarily mutter

Dried himekago (dried yellowtail): 600 yen for 16 fish *Price is current at the time of the interview (February 16, 2023).
On this day, six red flounder were 500 yen (about 83 yen per fish), and 16 dried himekasago were 600 yen (about 37 yen per fish). Cheap.... The more they sell in bulk, the cheaper it is, so sharing is also recommended.

Not only fish!

Akai Shoten" is a grocery store that sells mainly locally grown fruits and vegetables. Since it was mid-February on the day of our visit, they had a lineup of wild vegetables.

There is also meat!

Croquettes from butcher shops are delicious, aren't they? Tsujihiko sells side dishes such as croquettes and menchikatsu! Cheap as ever!

The locals recommend tofu!

Tofu from "Kodou Shokuhin", a bean-rich limited company
When I told my friend that I was going to Obama Osakana Center, my friend who lives in Fukui City recommended "their tofu is delicious! When I told my friend that I was going to Obama Osakana Center, my friend who lives in Fukui City recommended it to me! The tofu is dense and dense, with a rich flavor.... The tofu itself was so delicious that I ate it without adding any soy sauce. I could sense the high quality of the additive-free production. The clean water in the area must be the reason why they can produce such a high quality tofu.

Regular closing days differ depending on stores. Please check in advance.

What did you think? Although small in size, the Obama Osakana Center is a market where all the local delicacies are gathered. It is a place where you can enjoy breakfast, lunch, eating and shopping, and much more. Please stop by when sightseeing in Obama.
