Hirome Market

ひろめ市場

Kochi · Shikoku

Hirome Market is a covered food and drink hall on Otesuji in central Kochi city, where independent stalls share long communal tables. Tosa specialities including seared bonito are cooked to order at the counters and carried back to the shared seating. It stands a short walk east of Kochi Castle and opens an hour earlier on Sundays than on other days.

Why we picked it

A single roof over dozens of small Tosa food stalls with no table service and no reservations, used mostly by residents.
