Some reviews are AI-translated.
The morning market is famous for its fresh seafood. The variety is impressive—king crab, sea urchin, salmon, and more. You can order a seafood rice bowl here, and everything tastes so fresh and delicious.
You can see live king crabs, hairy crabs, and snow crabs—the famous three kinds—right in front of you. Since it's the source, the prices are much cheaper. The salmon roe and sea urchin seafood bowls are especially a great deal—big portions and super satisfying.
