The Tore Tore Market is directly managed by the Katata Gyogyo Kyodo Kumiai and boasts the title of the largest seafood market in all of west Japan. On the main sales floor you’ll find high-end sea bream cultivated directly by the fishing co-op, regional varieties caught fresh from the neighboring Susami and Kushimoto area, and live catches from major ports across Japan. If you time it right you may even lay eyes on the rare Mochi-Gatsuo, the Kishu-made kenken brand of bonito.
You won’t want to miss the daily tuna-cutting show. From bluefin tuna and Katsuura tuna, the show starts when a fish butcher approaches the oversized multiple tens of kilograms heavy fish and begins to divide it up. The finished cuts are then made available for direct sale.
After shopping the seafood its time to enjoy a meal. At Tore Tore Yokocho you can try the seafood ricebowl, packed with fresh delights. Another popular option is to take your fresh purchases to the BBQ corner to grill up on the fire grills.
Nearby you’ll even find spots like Katata Fishing Pond where you can rent everything you need to enjoy some easy fishing on an open-sea fish farm, or Tore Tore no Yu, a famous daily drop-in hot springs that uses source waters from Shirahama Onsen while offering swooping views over the Pacific Ocean from the open air bath. Put a pin in this market as a place to base your travels and enjoy an easy-going time away.
