A diner on the 1st floor of Ishinomaki Fisheries Center, adjacent to Ishinomaki Fishing Port. Open from 6:30 AM every morning — the real deal for fishermen's meals. Sourcing fresh fish, shellfish and live seafood directly from fishermen, serving seasonal catches the same day. The morning sashimi set is famous for 'impossible freshness and portion size at this price,' drawing visitors from far away. A Showa-era diner vibe with fishermen, market workers and locals all mixed together. TripAdvisor 4.3, #6 in Ishinomaki; Tabelog 3.46/180 reviews, 4,036 saves.

Reviews say 'Fishermen come every day — that proves it's real,' 'The 6:30 AM opening is a godsend,' 'Sashimi freshness is extraordinary — makes sense being next to the market,' 'Cheap, delicious and generous portions.'
