Search for Yaizu and the Yaizu Sakana Center always comes up. Yaizu has a fairly sizeable port, and all kinds of fish are landed there – tuna, sakura shrimp, shirasu and so on.

The entrance

It is big. Looks like a lot of tourists come here as well.

Inside

Naturally, the parking lot is huge too.

The set-meal menu at the place you walk in through

There is a large restaurant near the entrance selling all sorts of things. That said, there are plenty of places to eat inside the market too, so you do not really have to eat here.

Inside the market

The mood is a bit different from the bustling fish markets in Korea. A market aimed at tourists, I suppose.

This kind of atmosphere

Still, there were a few things worth a look.

The tasting corner

Chanja, kimchi and so on

They were selling spicy salted seafood. The prices do not look all that cheap.

Boiled snow crab

Looks good.

A kaisendon specialist

Plenty of things that look tasty.

Inside

There are a fair few people.

Today’s kushiage, and a standing sushi bar

A place like this looks good too.

Freshly fried seafood skewers

Kaisendon

This place has plenty of lavish kaisendon as well. Then again, I eat seafood often enough as it is, so I do wonder whether it is worth coming all the way here for it.

Maguro-don and Yaizu ramen

Shida-kei is a regular shoyu, but the ramen actually called Yaizu ramen is apparently a bit richer and has katsuobushi in it. Next time I should look for a place like that.

ROYCE’ chocolate

They sell this sort of thing too.

All sorts of dried seafood

I thought about buying something, but since I had not come by car, hauling it home was awkward. I will have to wait for the next chance.
