Kuroshio Ichiba

黒潮市場

Wakayama · Kansai

Kuroshio Ichiba is a lively seafood market at Wakayama Marina City where whole bluefin tuna are butchered in daily tuna-cutting shows and served as sushi and sashimi minutes later. Fishmonger stalls, a rooftop barbecue terrace and bay views make it the anchor of Wakayama’s seafood coast.
