The covered market is staffed by lively vendors who have mastered their dishes of choice, in most cases, their dishes have been carefully handed down for generations.

English menus? Any menus at all? Even if you can read Japanese, some of the hand-written calligraphy menus here can be difficult to decipher. This is the reality of an authentic Japanese market and it can make navigating and ordering food a bit overwhelming (cause almost all vendors don't speak any English at all, but don’t worry because we have you covered! Our local guides will order for you, explaining the ingredients and cooking methods, making the whole experience seamless.
