Filling up on fresh seafood

If you are looking for seafood at the market inside the museum, you may get hungry.
The Shinminato Kittokito Market has restaurants such as "Kittokito Tei" and "Ushio no Ie". At Ushio-no-ie, you can enjoy Toyama's famous black ramen, white shrimp salt ramen, and local croquettes such as white shrimp croquettes and Himi beef croquettes. We recommend that you compare the croquettes!
This time, we went to Hamayaki Corner "Hamakaze" where you can have fresh seafood grilled on the spot, and take out the special oyster sushi!
The sweet and spicy sauce and oysters were a perfect match and a hearty dish!

We also ate our take-out takaki sushi here.
This area is also an event hall where various food and product-themed events are held throughout the year.

Finally, time for souvenirs!

There are not only rice crackers and sweets made from Toyama's seafood, but also trout sushi, surume, fish cakes, dried fish cakes, etc. There are so many varieties to choose from that it is hard to decide which one to go for.
I bought the "Shiroebi Kakimochi," a classic Toyama souvenir!
The crunchy texture of the rice cracker with a salty taste was very delicious.
Toyama's specialties are plentiful!
Shinminato Kitto Ichiba is a must-visit place for those who love to eat.
