The Fish Market Street is lined with 11 large fresh fish stores on Route 402 along the Sea of Japan.
Fresh fish from the Sea of Japan and other seafood from all over Japan gather here.
The freshness of the fish and the abundance of products available always attracts customers who drive from the Tokyo metropolitan area and downtown Niigata to buy fish.
"Hamayaki" is Teradomari's specialty, grilled seasonal fish, squid, scallops, etc. on skewers over charcoal. Sitting in the sea breeze while enjoying the "Hamayaki" is a unique experience.
