Located in Katata, Shirahama, Toretore Ichiba is a seafood market operated by the Kataka Fishery Cooperative Association, which means that the flavor and freshness of the products cannot be beaten.
Inside the lively market, one thing that really stands out is the daily tuna cutting show. Watch the delicate movements of the cutting professionals as they cut and trim the fish, which are caught near shore and have never been frozen. The tuna cut during the show is made available for sale immediately, and it's also possible to taste some of the freshly cut fish. The time for the show is not fixed, but it is recommended to visit around lunchtime to have the best chance of catching it.
The market also features a food court where sushi, seafood rice bowls, ramen, and other foods that are unique to this type of market are available for a reasonable price.
On the outdoor terrace, there is also a barbecue space where guests can enjoy cooking seafood that has been purchased at the market.
In addition to seafood, the market also sells many local specialties and souvenirs from Wakayama.
Located nearby are hot springs, places for fishing, and many other attractions, which makes the area a great place to spend the day.
