Omicho Market, Kanazawa Overview

Around 200 stalls under one roof, trading since the Edo period and still the city's kitchen rather than a visitor attraction dressed up as one. Winter is snow crab season and the reason many people time a trip around it; the rest of the year it is sweet shrimp, yellowtail and sea bream. Several counters will build you a kaisendon on the spot. Free to walk through, and the obvious lunch stop between the castle and the chaya districts.
