Fulfilling Food Professionals’ Purchasing Requests

Marunaka Food Center provides not just fresh fish, but everything from meat and vegetables to dried goods such as seaweed or bonito flakes. In addition, there are restaurants where you can eat fresh sashimi, thinly sliced raw fish. "Leaving nothing to be desired" is perhaps the perfect phrase to describe this comprehensive market.

Outstanding Access and Regularly Scheduled Tours

Only a five-minute walk from Nagoya Station, there are very few markets with such a downtown location to be found anywhere in Japan. Tours also take place, typically on Fridays and Saturdays. (Held when there are 10 or more people. Reservations and fee required.) The content of these popular tours covers professional cooking techniques, how to keep fish fresh for longer, the best ways to use the market, and even food samples. Speaking of markets, the gourmet food here is not to be missed. The restaurants where market staff frequently come and go create a vibrant atmosphere and are part of the market's charm. There are also restaurants that open from early in the morning, making it easy to enjoy the market's gourmet cuisine.
