🗺️ ToreTore Marketとれとれ市場

ToreTore Market is the largest seafood market in the western Japan region, directly operated by the Katata Fisheries Cooperative. The market is filled with local fresh fish caught from SUSAMI town and the Kushimoto coast, high-quality sea bream farmed by the fisheries cooperative, as well as fresh catches from major fishing ports across Japan. If the timing is right, you can also buy the famous "KenKen Katsuo" from Kishu and the quite rare "Mochi Katsuo." ToreTore Market hosts an impressive tuna cutting show every day. Skilled cutters expertly slice dozens of kilograms of hon-maguro (bluefin tuna) and Katsuura tuna into smaller pieces, such as large belly and medium belly cuts. The entire process is full of energy and the fish is sold fresh on the spot. In addition to purchasing various seafood and local agricultural products, indulging in seafood delicacies is also a major pleasure of visiting the market. You can enjoy seafood rice bowls and sashimi platters filled with fresh fish and shellfish at the food court "ToreTore Yokocho," or take the seafood and other ingredients you buy at the market to the "BBQ Grilling Area" for fresh grilling.
