Omicho Market, often referred to as Kanazawa's Kitchen, has been the cultural and culinary heart of the city for centuries. The market's origins date back to the Edo period, over 280 years ago, serving both local residents and visitors with a variety of fresh food. It's well-known for its abundance of seafood, which is brought in from the Sea of Japan, reflecting Kanazawa's coastal geography. Over the years, Omicho Market has grown and now hosts over 200 stalls that sell fresh fish, fruits, vegetables, and regional specialties. The lively atmosphere and the interaction between sellers and buyers reflect a bustling economy that has sustained the traditional food culture of Kanazara.
