Visiting respectfully
- Local etiquetteFor a katte-don, buy rice at a rice stall (Ouchi Shoten, Rofuan Kuniki or Joypack Chicken), then add toppings from the seafood stalls. If you don't eat raw fish, the grilled-fish set meal at Ichibatei inside the market is recommended.Checked 25 Sept 2026 on the official site
- Local etiquetteStalls will sell smaller amounts if you ask, and will cut fish to order. Items bought at several stalls can be shipped together from the last stall (chilled and frozen goods may need separate parcels). Only Marusui Kawamura Suisan serves raw oysters to eat inside the market.Checked 25 Sept 2026 on the official site
