Witness Blue Fin Tuna Cutting at Wakayama’s Kuroshio Market

#japantrip #wakayama #wakayamamarinacity #japan #kansai Wakayama's Kuroshio Market is one of the must-visit places in Wakayama, the place is constantly thronged with tourists to check on the freshest Tuna (one of the leading Tuna ports in Japan lies within Wakayama Prefecture) as well as fresh seafood options. Visit the right time and you will get to witness the Tuna-Cutting show, it takes about 15 minutes and the fresh Tuna meat will be up for grabs. Visitors can purchase a piece of Chutoro and a piece of Otoro Sushi for 1,000Yen. We also took the opportunity to try some Seafood Don. The White Bait Fish Don is a local delicacy unique to Wakayama, it is typically enjoyed with Umeboshi. We tried that and it was not as delicious as compared to the usual Seafood so my recommendation- go for the usual ones, Tuna appears to be a wise option. If you are traveling on budget, go for the side cuts of Tuna Sashimi, they offer the same quality and satisfactions. Right opposite to Kuroshio Market, there is a farmer's market where you get to find some local fresh produce. One particular item that you should try would be the Wakayama Black Sesame Persimmon (seasonal) which is peculiar in physical appearance (dark, sandy texture in the middle) but unbelievably sweet and tasty. We bought ours- a sizable and good quality at 500Yen each. Address: 1527 Kemi, Wakayama, 641-0014, Japan Business Hours: 10 am to 5 pm. Opens Daily.
