If you come to Hachinohe, the largest port town in Aomori Prefecture, the tourist spot ''HasshokuCenter'' is a kitchen for citizens who can enjoy fresh seafood gourmet even on the spot. Here are the points to fully enjoy the ''HasshokuCenter''♪

Hachinohe, a fishery city that boasts one of the nation's leading landings. When you want to eat the fresh seafood that Hachinohe boasts, you want to go to the "Hasshoku Center".

It is divided into a market building and a kitchen stadium, where freshly-fried seafood, freshly-picked vegetables, fresh meat, and dried foods and sweets are lined up.

You can experience charcoal grilling! How to enjoy "Shichirin Mura"

What you want to enjoy at the "Hasshoku center" is the charcoal grilling experience of "Shilin Mura" on the first floor of the market building! It is a delicious and fun popular restaurant where you can buy your favorite fish and shellfish and meat at the market and bake the ingredients for it. The vibrant store is filled with people who enjoy charcoal grilling with a drink like alcohol from the daytime.

When you enter "Shichirin-mura", first of all, you pay a usage fee at the reception and secure a seat. The price includes a loan set (soy sauce, salt, pepper, tongs, senmai-doshi), so you can visit the store empty-handed. When you get a seat, wait-and-wait buying time♪We want to choose ingredients slowly, but the point is to check what we want to eat before reception because it is a two-hour system. Drinks and rice such as sake can be purchased at "Shichirin-mura", so let's go find the main side dish.

First, leave "Shichirin mura" and go to "Iwasho" on the right. The store is packed with fresh seafood. You can buy something you care about, such as large oysters and clams, but the popularity is "Shichirinmura set" 2300 yen (1-2 servings) with plenty of recommended ingredients for the day. It is also a nice point to peel off the oyster shell so that you can eat it as it is.
