A good market to visit with many stalls selling local produce- fish, seafood, meats n veggies. It also has many small eateries or stalls within the market where one can eat - seafood mostly or local dishes! Seating is just in front of the stalls on small tables- food is very fresh n delicious n prices are reasonable. Also many stalls selling dried or packed foods which are good for souvenirs or the folks back home. Few notable must trys are a stall selling barbecued A5 Wagyu at 900yen a skewer- expensive but ever so delicious, also a izakaya style open restaurant that has fresh Oden n other dishes with alcoholic beverages(mostly sake/beer) that u can order, the stall selling croquettes is another must try! Also some other very nice eateries at reasonable prices. A visit here is worthwhile as it’s an easy walk down the main road from Kanazawa station - 20-25mins brisk pace. A good stop to snack up or have a drink or two before exploring the beautiful Gardens or famous Kanazawa Castle. There are also lots of local souvenirs to pick up for a reasonable price. The market is not as fancy as some others but nevertheless a very nice location to browse n snack or even pick up some gifts. Highly recommended.

This place is like a traditional market in Japan. They mainly sell varioud fresh seafoods , fruits, and vegetable. If you come there at 2p.m. then you will find a huge discount at some seafood stalls. For example you can find fish which is already packed in a big plastic bag and it is enough to feed two people for three days by only 300 Yen. It is crazy right ??? You can also find a very cheap vegetable shop, Last week I bhought poatoes placed in a big basket , or maybe equal to 1.5 kg by paying 300 Yen only. I also bhought carrots placed in a plate, maybe it is equal to 1kg , with price 200 Yen. It is so crazy. Compare to supermarket price, the fish and vegetable there is way cheaper. I attached the vegetable shop picture. The shop name is aka ko shoten(赤小商店).For foreigner, especially indonesian people In omicho, we can also find some indonesian sauces such as ABC soy sauce, ABC sweet soy sauce, ABC spicy sauce, fish sauce, etc in a big store named Diamond. This store have two floors and the imported food ingridients on the second floor.

// 22 March 2024 The challenge I encountered is that I couldn't locate the name of the eatery I visited in Japan because it's not in English. Here's the spot where we had dinner in the market, close to one of the exits. It's popular among locals, with a Japanese-only menu and cash-only payment. There are several similar eateries in the market offering similar food. While there was a queue in the early evening, when we returned around 7pm, there was no line, and we were seated right away. The miso soup is delicious, and I noticed a repeated note in various restaurants cautioning about bones in the miso soup, advising caution while consuming it. //Edited on 23 March 2024 Bustling on this Saturday morning, attracting both locals and tourists with its wide variety of stalls selling everything from vegetables and fruits to meat and seafood. The market also features numerous eateries offering kaisendon. We tried oden for the first time, although it was a bit pricey due to the inclusion of shellfish; the rest of the dish consisted mainly of vegetables and fish paste.

Plenty to see, buy and eat! Omicho Market is a must do if you are visiting Kanazawa! It is best to visit here in the mornings when the majority of stalls are open as stalls do begin to close from the afternoon onwards. Omicho Market is very crowded, but it is worth it because there is a lot of delicious food to choose from! It is also a prime location for souvenirs as there are shops which sell plush doll items, keyrings and snacks which are ideal for family and friends back home. Keep in mind while you can eat street food bought from the stalls it is best to remain nearby where you purchased your food/drink to use their bin/rubbish disposal unit. Don't use a different shop's bin to dispose of food items/drinks bought elsewhere as that is disrespectful.
