Come to Toyama Shinminato Fisherman’s Market and feast on freshly caught red crabs!
#MarchGoodPlaces2025
Come to Shinminato Kikitokit Market to eat red crabs! The Fisherman's Market, located at Shinminato Fishing Port in Toyama Prefecture, is in a remote location close to the sea and looks like a tourist fish market. People come here specifically to eat the famous local red crabs, which are about the same size as snow crabs and are characterized by their rich soup. It is a specialty of the San'in coastline.
There are many stalls in the tourist market that provide cooking services. I bought two red crabs to steam. The meat is so sweet and fresh, and the soup is even more delicious. There is no need to dip it in sauce at all. It’s great to just fish it out and cook it right away! There are also some special local products in the market, such as white shrimp ice cream? Very interesting.
In terms of transportation, if you don’t drive, there are buses from Toyama Station that can take you directly there, or you can go to Gaogang and then change to the road railway, which takes about 40 minutes to get to Toshinminato Station, which is about 6 minutes’ walk, so it is basically quite convenient.
