Ainan Ichiba Shokudo (Market Cafeteria)
A market cafeteria directly connected to Fukafura Fishing Port, inside the Ainan Fisheries Cooperative. Serves 'biyabiya katsuo'—the ultimate branded bonito, individually line-caught, bled, and nerve-spiked on the boat—for just 1,000-1,300 yen. During bonito season, food lovers from all over Japan queue up. No frozen fish—all sashimi is served ultra-fresh. Selected for Tabelog Teishoku Top 100 2021.
Reviews consistently say 'best sashimi in my life' and 'can't believe this quality at this price.' A humble port-side cafeteria with unbeatable fish quality. Ranked #1 restaurant in Ainan on TripAdvisor. Tabelog Teishoku Top 100 2021. Over 7,600 saves on Tabelog.
