Along the Kitakami River, a 2-story market stands at the heart of Ishinomaki City.

The merchandise section on the 1st floor provides fresh seafood from Ishinomaki Port. In different seasons, the resident divers bring sea urchin and abalone they caught. Check out the vegetables brought by local farmers everyday. There are processed seafood and produce as well. The local specialty corner is set up which offers products from areas inside and outside the prefecture that supported the reconstruction of Ishinomaki after the Great East Japan Earthquake.

The 2nd floor has a spacious food court, Genki Shokudo, which serves seafood from the waters around Kinkazan Island, one of the world’s three major fisheries. Their set meal and ramen with Kinka mackerel is a delicacy only available here. Seafood rice bowls with generous ingredients in season are popular, too. You can sit on the terrace seat and enjoy the Ishinomaki nature and the seafood.

Highlights

  • Seafood landed in the rich fishing grounds is a must-see.
  • Some vegetables are available only in this market.
  • Savor the seafood at the food court.

    The 3/11 earthquake and tsunami devastated Ishinomaki City in Miyagi Prefecture, destroying many businesses, factories, and workplaces. The local seafood processing industry also faced the challenge of losing its sales channels. To help local businesses rebuild their livelihoods while revitalizing commerce and tourism in central Ishinomaki, local companies and other related businesses worked together to develop this market.

    Ishinomaki Genki Ichiba opened on June 30, 2017, primarily selling fresh local seafood, processed seafood products, agricultural products, and local specialties. It also has a dining area where visitors can try local Ishinomaki dishes. It is more than just a place to shop and eat; it also has a mission to help revive local industries, create jobs, and draw people back to the city center.
