Kochi City, Kochi Prefecture. Hirome Market is a food court where you can taste soul food of Kochi Prefecture. It is a tourist market built on the former residence of the Tosa clan's chief retainer and is a very popular spot with locals and tourists. Hirome Market consists of seven blocks, including the castle square and Ryoma Street, and has many shops such as fresh fish shops, butcher shops, restaurants, miscellaneous goods and clothing stores. Tables and chairs are lined up everywhere, and like a food court, you buy what you like at each shop and bring it to eat. The staff will come to collect the dishes after you've finished eating. I went there around 6 p.m. on a weekday, but it was full and it took about 30 minutes to secure a seat. Since you sit wherever there is an empty seat, if you go with a small group, you will have to share a table. You can enjoy a lot of fresh seafood, including bonito straw-grilled, and it was a treasure trove of food such as gyoza and curry. And the bustle of the market makes the alcohol taste even better. Hirome Market, where many of Kochi's delicious foods are gathered, is a great place to visit. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 📍 2-3-1 Obiyacho, Kochi City, Kochi Prefecture ☎️ 088-822-5287 🚃 15-minute walk from Kochi Station on the JR Dosan Line Business hours 10:00-23:00 (weekdays, Saturdays, and holidays) / 9:00-23:00 (Sundays) *Store opening hours vary by store. #Travelwithme #Kochi #HiromeMarket #Seafood #GourmetTrip #FoodTrip

I ate Kochi Prefecture's bonito tataki! The key to bonito tataki is freshness, so the bonito you eat in Kochi Prefecture had a chewy texture and exceptional flavor! Many restaurants specialize in straw-grilling, and by using straw to quickly roast the fish at high temperatures, they achieve an exquisite balance of "fragrant aroma," "crispy texture on the surface," and "rare inside." In Kochi, salt-grilled bonito is a standard, as well as "ponzu," and with simple seasonings such as salt + garlic + wasabi + yuzu, you can directly taste the flavor of the bonito! Especially if you use sun-dried salt or coarse salt, the sweetness of the bonito stands out. This time, I ate Myojinmaru's bonito! There was no smell of bonito at all, and the aroma and texture of the straw were exceptional and very delicious, so please go! #Spring 0 yen trip

I went to eat salted tataki at Hirome Market. It's the famous Yairo-tei. Apparently they serve it as a boat-shaped platter starting from 6 slices, but since I was traveling alone I only got 5 slices. It was delicious, but a little too salty. The green laver tempura was perfect with sake. #solotravel #Kochitrip #sologirl #HiromeMarket

Hirome Market is located near the Kochi Prefectural Office and Kochi Castle. When you think of going for drinks in Kochi City...! It was so crowded with locals and tourists that it was a must-visit place. Hirome Market was built around the mansion of Hirome Shigeaki, a retainer of the Tosa clan. The locals named it "a shopping street that inherits and spreads the food and business culture nurtured by the Tosa climate." There are many shops in Hirome Market. Chairs and tables are placed in the center, and visitors order products from the shops and sit there, or eat takeout food at the tables. There are many delicious foods such as bonito tataki and Tosa rolls. Many shops close as soon as they sell out, so the best time to go is right after they open. 💡 On weekends, many people come from lunchtime, so it's best to get there early. 📍: Hirome Market 🏳️: Look for the maneki-neko (beckoning cat) and sign ⏰: Mon-Sat 10:00-23:00 Sun 9:00-23:00 *Business hours vary by store* #FuriTabiWinter #KochiTourism #Kochi #KochiTrip #HiromeMarket

Kochi Prefecture is located in the southern part of Shikoku, characterized by its long and narrow terrain stretching east to west. The region boasts a rich and diverse natural landscape, including dense forests and the azure sea. Among the various local seafood delicacies, the most famous is 'Katsuo no Tataki' (also known as seared bonito), where the whole bonito fish is grilled over straw. Kochi Castle, also known as 'Hawk Castle,' served as the administrative center of the Tosa Domain during the Edo period. The castle's keep, main hall, and Otemon gate, built during the Edo period, are well-preserved and designated as a historic site in Japan, making it one of the 100 famous castles in Japan. It is a must-visit destination in Shikoku. Unlike rural areas, the vicinity of JR Kochi Station also has numerous shopping malls, making it convenient for shopping.

Kochi Prefecture is a treasure trove of food. And it is also known as a prefecture of heavy drinkers. A gourmet trip to Kochi City, Kochi Prefecture, such a charming place~𓌉◯𓇋 Kochi's unique food culture is really interesting, and this is the best part of traveling! ▫︎Inaka-zushi Sushi made with vegetables that are rare even in Japan. It is a ceremonial food passed down in the mountainous areas of Kochi Prefecture, and the sushi toppings are made with mountain produce from within the prefecture. This time I bought it at the morning market. ▫︎Imoten Kochi's Imoten is a little different from others. The slightly sweet potato is covered in a thick, fluffy batter. It's very filling. I also bought this at the morning market. ▫︎Yatai Gyoza In Kochi, they say that the best way to end a night of drinking is with gyoza from a food stall (really?) so I went to eat at the popular food stall, Yasubei. I went against the rules and went to the first place. They are small and crispy, and go great with beer! I went when they opened, but it filled up quickly, so I recommend coming early. ▫︎Seared Bonito This is, of course, a Kochi specialty. Freshly seared bonito, cooked right in front of you on a warm grill. I was told that Kochi seared is different, but it really is not at all (it's not piled high)! It was so delicious...♡ At Hirome Market. ▫︎Fried Moray Eel This was my first time eating moray eel. I was surprised that you can eat moray eel. It has a chewy texture and a delicious taste, and it goes great with alcohol...! At Hirome Market. ▫︎Morning When I looked into it, I found out that Kochi's morning culture is actually quite unique! Bread, coffee, miso soup, omelet, spaghetti!? There was a lot of food and I was full. It was my first experience of eating bread and rice together, except at a hotel breakfast buffet!
