Daytime auction, a rarity in Japan

At "Shin-Minato Fishing Port" in Imizu City, Toyama Prefecture, not only the early morning auction is held, but also the "midday auction" is held from 12:30, which is rare in Japan! The topography of Toyama Bay is a sharply deep underwater valley from the coast, so the geographical advantage of being able to fish close to the fishing port allows freshly caught fish to be supplied immediately to the market. The seafood on the line is all caught that morning, so it is extremely fresh.

The "red carpet" that can be seen only during the red snow crab season

If you make a reservation in advance, you can go up the stairs to the second floor of Shinminato Fishing Port to observe the lively "noon auction. The "red carpet" of crabs can only be seen during the red snow crab season, which runs from September to May!

You can enjoy fresh seafood at "Shinminato Kitto Market"!

Of course, you can not only visit but also actually eat fresh seafood.
At "Shinminato Kitto Kitto Market" located right next to the fishing port, you can purchase Kitto Kitto seafood, including red snow crab, and eat sashimi and rice bowls at the restaurant. ("Kittokito" means "fresh" in the Toyama dialect.)
