Japan’s Hidden Foodie Destination: Hasshoku Centre
Embark on a culinary adventure with us as we take a short but unforgettable stopover at Hachinohe Station and explore the legendary Hasshoku Centre, one of Japan’s largest and most vibrant indoor markets! This isn’t just a market visit; it’s a sensory feast, a hands-on cooking experience, and a glimpse into the heart of Japanese seafood culture.
Our journey began with a scenic Shinkansen ride from Sendai, where we watched the landscape transform into a breathtaking sea of snow fields, setting the stage for our winter adventure. Upon arriving at Hachinohe Station, we quickly stored our luggage and hopped on a local bus, eager to reach the renowned Hasshoku Centre.
The Hasshoku Centre is a true spectacle, a bustling hub of fresh seafood, local produce, and culinary delights. We were immediately captivated by the sheer variety and quality of the offerings, from glistening fish and plump shellfish to colourful vegetables and regional specialties.
One of the most unique and exciting aspects of the Hasshoku Centre is the opportunity to purchase fresh seafood and grill it yourself over a charcoal stove. We couldn’t resist this hands-on culinary experience, and we’ll take you through the entire process. From selecting our seafood to having it expertly prepared by the vendors, we’ll show you how easy and enjoyable it is to cook your own meal in this vibrant market.
We’ll share our experience of choosing from the vast array of seafood options, highlighting the freshness and quality of the ingredients. We’ll also showcase the grilling process, from lighting the charcoal to savoring the delicious aromas and flavors of our cooked seafood. The cost of using the charcoal stove includes plates, chopsticks, seasonings, and wet hand towels, making it a convenient and affordable dining experience.
But the Hasshoku Centre isn’t just about seafood. We also discovered a vendor making fresh red bean sweet buns, a warm and comforting treat that was perfect for the winter weather. We’ll show you how these delightful buns are made and share our reactions to their sweet and satisfying taste.
Throughout our visit, we were impressed by the friendly vendors, the vibrant atmosphere, and the overall quality of the Hasshoku Centre. We’ll share our tips for navigating the market, highlighting the must-try foods and the best ways to experience this culinary gem.
