Top 5 Seafood Markets in Japan

3 Chome-7-4 Tamadaira, Hino, Tokyo 191-0062, Japan

“Was here for an engagement party. Food was pretty good, but the full course seemed like it was a bit too much. Had to take the main course home.”

Japan, 〒001-0024 Hokkaido, Sapporo, Kita Ward, Kita 24 Jonishi, 2 Chome−1−13 ベアーズビル1F ベアーズ２４ビル

“You get really big portions for the price and the taste is unrivaled! During lunch you sometimes have to wait a little bit to get a table, but I’ve never waited more than 20 min”

3 Chome-26-5 Hakata Ekimae, Hakata Ward, Fukuoka, 812-0011, Japan

“Motsunabe that I had for lunch as soon as the store opened! The motsunabe tasted ordinary and wasn't that special, and the saba that I ordered on the side was better than I expected. Above all, the owner(?) was very kind!”

566 Umemitsumachi, Kurume, Fukuoka 830-0048, Japan

“Went there at 17:45pm for dinner and there were two groups of people already in front of us. Be prepared to wait if you are not there early. The place is split into two areas: "fish market" (outer area) and restaurant (inner area). Once you reach, please head to the inner area to tell the staff your name and the number of people you have. You have to wait for your name to be called. The sushi set was superb and it cost only 1430 yen which is cheap. It comes with 8 sushi, one prawn tempera, one chawanmushi, one miso soup and yuzu seaweed. The restaurant is fast paced as the area is small and they have a lot of customers.”

“焼肉百名店！ One of the best places where you can have an extremely tasty wagyu in Sapporo City. Location is great, which means you can take metro to reach that. The service is quite good, all the food has been delivered quickly, with very thoughtful staff that always asks you if you need anything! Apart from the wagyu, the Korean dishes are also excellent, lots of customers ordered that as well. Overall, definitely highly recommended!”

3284-1 Amatsu, Kamogawa, Chiba 299-5503, Japan

“Nice location with parking, Japanese style flooring, fresh sea food. I ate the tentendondon - fried fishes, shrimps and veggies on rice, which was delicious.”

1146 Toshima, Awaji, Hyogo 656-1711, Japan

251-1 Shimoiino, Nyuzen, Shimoniikawa District, Toyama 939-0663, Japan

“Nice oyster and other shellfish and seafood specialty shop. The prices are reasonable and the staff supportive. I would visit here again with guests from outside Toyama.”

Japan, 〒393-0076 Nagano, Suwa District, Shimosuwa, 矢木西３１

“An eel restaurant located along National Route 20 in Shimosuwa Town. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is calm. Unaju comes in pine, bamboo, and plum. Today we had delicious plums for 2,900 yen and Nishikiju (kabayaki and shirayaki) for 2,900 yen. The pickles are Nozawana and Shibasuke. The drinks are also delicious. After the meal, I received 500 yen of pudding, which was topped with blueberry sauce.”

88 Aokusamachi, Kanazawa, Ishikawa 920-0907, Japan

“Best Chirashi don I’ve ever had. More than 15 kinds of fish and seafood, all super fresh. Price was very reasonable too. Strongly recommend”

1 Chome-6-21 Enoshima, Fujisawa, Kanagawa 251-0036, Japan

“GIANT food quantity : ) Unusual in Japan. Quality and taste were both good. Relaxed environment with friendly staff. The place is bit old and out of the main road. We found it easily though using Google maps.”

Japan, 〒104-0061 Tokyo, Chuo City, Ginza, 3 Chome−4−6 正隆銀座ビル 1F

“Overall very good food and great service. I think it would be better if four oysters taste different. I also don’t like the crab which they recommended. They sauce over powdered the delicate crab flavor, plus it’s very hard to get the meat out. I needed up having to really get very dirty with my hands and face which I didn’t intend to coming into this nice place. Pasta was a bit disappointing too with the over size of noodles and not much of anything else. Plus the noodles were just way too soggy. The atmosphere was great and drinks selections were excellent.”

1-8 Arashimacho, Toba, Mie 517-0021, Japan

“Best place for BBQ oysters. Visited more than 5 times and still want to go back for more. Services are superb with friendly staff. 3 hours well spent with friends to chill out and enjoy those delicious all you can eat oysters. My personally favourite place in Mie, full 5 star.”

Japan, 〒104-0045 Tokyo, Chuo City, Tsukiji, 4 Chome−10−5 カネシン水産ビル 1F

“Uni was all very unique and none of the varieties were bitter or metallic like uni can sometimes be. Got to sit and watch the chefs pump out bowl after bowl, they're like machines with how popular this restaurant is. Overall it was delicious but there are probably more interesting sushi to spend your time and money on especially if the wait is very long when you get there. Even when you're seated it will be a long wait until they get to your order so enjoy some sake and watch the show.”

2359-138 Ao, Kujukuri, Sambu District, Chiba 283-0105, Japan

“If you’re looking for fresh sea food then this is the place to go. We saw them take the clams out of the water and put them directly on our grill. The portions are also large I was honestly surprised at the sashimi and tempura that we got.”

Japan, 〒810-0041 Fukuoka, Chuo Ward, Daimyo, 1 Chome−3−6 フラップスビル 1F

“Miso motsu nabe I went alone, but when I entered the restaurant, they explained to me that they could only order motsu nabe for two people, and they were very kind. Ordering was via a touch panel, and the store was clean. The motsu nabe was so delicious that one person could easily eat two servings. It wasn't greasy at all, and the offal was sweet and satisfying. It seems that you can order the closing portion for one person, so next time I go, I would like to order the closing portion as well.”
