A market full of all different kinds of fresh foods

About 60 shops in a building 170 meters in length offer, freshly caught fish, produce, meat, dried foods, snacks, sweets, liquor and sundries. Visitors will find a wide array of Hachinohe specialties and souvenirs. Fish shops, especially, offer a variety of fish and shellfish caught the same morning. Visitors can enjoy fish in season, dried fish, freshly prepared sashimi and marine products unavailable elsewhere. Look around at everything, do some taste testing, and choose the products you like.

Restaurants proudly offer dishes made with that morning's catch

The huge market is home to two different restaurant areas, Aji Yokocho and Kuriya Stadium.

Five shops line Aji Yokocho, each with its own unique offerings. Noodles are a particular specialty, and be sure to try some Hachinohe Senbei soup.

Kuriya Stadium is an enormous restaurant that seats up to 600 customers. This is the place to enjoy fresh fish in sushi dishes. Chairs and tables are available for breaks, making it the perfect meet-up spot.

Grill your purchases over a charcoal brazier at Shichirin-mura

After buying fresh fish and meat, take them right over to Shichirin-mura and cook them yourself over a charcoal brazier. The cost includes use of the charcoal stove, plates, chopsticks, seasonings, and wet hand towels. Rice, roasted riceballs, soup and beverages are available separately. Shichirin-mura seats 164. Groups are welcome. (Please do not bring in food purchased elsewhere.)

A full line-up of local souvenirs

The souvenir corner has a good line-up of Hachinohe products, including our famous Nambu Senbei crackers. You'll also find a large array of local sake, including Michinoku Hassen and Hachitsuru, as well as some original sake products available only at Hasshoku Center.
