For the first time, the market will host a 'Market Freezer Tour.' Visitors will tour freezers with different temperature ranges, from 0°C to -45°C, providing a rare glimpse 'behind the scenes' of the market. The -45°C freezer, in particular, offers a special opportunity to experience the world of frozen tuna.
In the marine products building, the market will sell seasonal seafood such as bonito (hatsu-katsuo) and clams. At this time of year, bonito is known for its light flavor, not overly fatty, with a firm texture.
At the flower sales booth (in front of the marine products building), a variety of potted plants, cut flowers, and gardening seedlings will be available for sale, signaling the arrival of early summer.
The produce sales booth (in front of the marine products building) will sell seasonal vegetables and hold popular events like 'all-you-can-stuff' onions and potatoes. Visitors are encouraged to buy early before items sell out.
In addition, the related food products building and on-site restaurants will be open for business. We invite everyone to take this opportunity to enjoy the seasonal offerings that the market is proud of.
Event Date: Saturday, May 30, 2026, from 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM (Free Admission)
