“Always seeing something, never seeing nothing, being photographer” ― Walter De Mulder Nakaminato Fish Market, including its fishing port, in Ibaraki prefecture, offers numerous fish markets as well as seafood restaurants. Since the port is among the biggest bases for the coastal fishery, the market offers a wide range of fresh fish. Why don’t you try sushi and other seafood dish made of the locally fished ingredients when you stop by this area? Via: http://www.att-japan.net/en/spot/ES001015
