All 11 stores stand in a row a fish store, a marine artifact and an eatery.

It's a car from Tsuchiura-shi, about 1 hour. There is "Naka-minato fishing port" in Naka-minato located in southeastern area in Hitachinaka-shi, Ibaraki, and much seafood is landed every day. It's "Naka-minato fish market" to neighbor the fishing port. It's possible to have complete set of seafood in season and enjoy a purchase and a meal casually including the place fish which could be caught at Naka-minato and a suburb. A ship goes back Naka-minato fishing port from fishing over the morning, and competition is performed in the morning, so much fresh seafood is in line and is bustling with many local people and tourists throughout the day before and behind the lunch.

It's satisfied with the Assorted Seafood Rice Bowl which dished up an ingredient for sushi in season boldly.

A "Naka-minato Seafood circle" one "place fish filling! Local specialty, !! warming Rice Bowl", 2178 yen. Tuna, sea urchin and salmon roe are a basic, fillet of white fish is seasonal replacement.
A "Naka-minato Seafood circle" one "place fish filling! Local specialty, !! warming Rice Bowl", 2178 yen. Tuna, sea urchin and salmon roe are a basic, fillet of white fish is seasonal replacement.

There are 7 restaurants to which sushi with seafood and seafood on rice in season are offered in a fish market. I also recommend "Naka-minato Seafood circle" at the inside, "place fish filling! Local specialty, !! warming Rice Bowl". The ingredient for sushi as much as 13 from which rice is concealed is mentioned luxurious Assorted Seafood Rice Bowl including place fish. For fillet of white fish of red snapper to be warmed over a fire, delicate fat can be felt. To be offered together with thick red snapper soup stock again, you give favorite seafood a ride and are able to replace it with sesame boiled rice with tea. I'll look for a favorite store while taking a walk through the inside of the hall because the proud menu is also even at other restaurants.
