1Omicho Market
At Omicho Ichiba-kan, you can see, taste, and shop all in one place. Your guide explains how to navigate the market, spot seasonal highlights, and read price tags, while introducing Kaga vegetables and local seafood such as sweet shrimp (amaebi), nodoguro, and seasonal snow crab. Enjoy small tastings as you stroll—freshly fried croquettes, rolled omelets, traditional sweets, and cut fruit—and we’ll help with take-away purchases and souvenir choices. If you wish, we’ll guide you to the 2nd-floor dining area for a sushi or seafood-bowl lunch, advising on queues, budget, and the best toppings on the spot. The venue is fully indoors with no admission fee, and it’s family-friendly with elevators plus nursing and diaper-change facilities—easy for strollers and first-time visitors alike.

The guide explains how to order and helps you choose a bowl that suits your taste. You’ll learn simple details about the broth, noodles, and why this shop is popular among locals. A quick but authentic experience of “everyday Kanazawa” through a warm bowl of ramen.
