Kuroshio Market

Kuroshio Market (黒潮市場, Kuroshio Ichiba) is the heart of seafood excitement in Wakayama’s Marina City. Famous for its live tuna cutting shows held three times a day, the market lets you witness a whole tuna expertly filleted in front of your eyes. Learn about the different cuts, including the prized otoro, then purchase the freshest sashimi straight from the stage to your plate.

The market also offers a wide selection of seafood, Wakayama specialties, and souvenirs. Hungry? Choose your favorite catch and grill it yourself over a charcoal fire in the open dining area. From fresh sashimi to hands-on BBQ, Kuroshio Market delivers an unforgettable culinary experience that captures the true taste of Japan’s fishing culture—all in a vibrant, coastal setting.
