There is also a ``Children's Mock Auction'' that only members of the expedition can participate in, and I think this is an event that you would definitely want to give your children a chance to experience!

I asked the fishmonger at the market!

We spoke to Makino Shoten, a fish shop located in the Hokusei Wholesale Market.
``Normally, the general public cannot enter the market, but on this day, the fish sellers were able to come inside.
At our restaurant, tuna and salmon yaburi are very popular. Salted salmon kama will be sold in bags again this year. We are looking forward to seeing many people as we will be working with all the fishmongers in the market to prepare some great value items! ”
apparently! Please come to the market.

This is how Ichiba Morning Market always gets excited. Tuna lovers must not miss the dissection show by the fishmongers inside the market, which is always very exciting. The dissected tuna will then be sold, so please target your favorite part and get it before heading home. The fruits and vegetables available at the market are fresh and delicious. Please enjoy this atmosphere.
Even if the weather is bad that day, you don't have to worry because it's basically inside a building or under a large eaves.

Actually, I used to take my children to Ichiba Morning Market every year when they were small.
I was so happy every time, and I have fond memories of that as a parent as well. Of course, this is a wholesale market event that can be enjoyed by adults as well as children, so please come and visit us.
