Kashiwa Market Public Open Day

Kashiwa Market is hosting Public Open Days to encourage local residents and consumers to become familiar with the public market and to revitalize the venue. On these special occasions, visitors can shop inside the normally restricted seafood hall, enjoy unique market experiences, and take part in hands-on programs. At the most recent events, around 3,000 guests attended. In November, highlights include a guided tour of the seafood market, where market professionals share tips on how to select fresh fish and explain the differences between wild-caught and farmed varieties—with tasting opportunities included. Seasonal seafood such as bluefin tuna will be available at wholesale seafood retailers, while the adjoining food hall offers products like meat, seaweed, tea, and condiments—perfect for the autumn season. Fresh local produce sold by Kashiwa farmers will also be on offer. On-site restaurants serve sushi, ramen, and other dishes, creating a lively and delicious atmosphere unique to the market. This is a great opportunity to savor seasonal flavors and enjoy exclusive market experiences with family and friends.
