The market is filled with a wide variety of fresh seafood! After the opening of the crab fishing season, live crabs and bright red boiled crabs line the shelves. The market is filled with the lively voices of vendors, and you can enjoy the atmosphere of an old-fashioned market.
With the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen bullet train in Tsuruga, new stores are opening one after another! Every time you visit, you will discover something new. If you want to enjoy seasonal seafood from the Sea of Japan, this is a great place to enjoy the Gourmet Kaido.
