    呼子朝市通りにある木屋さかな市場です。 休日の晴れた朝に伺いました。 店頭でも揚げ物類が販売され、食べ歩きもできますが店内で頂くことに。 定食500円と格安です。 焼きサバは肉厚ふっくら。本日の刺身も500でボリューミー。歯応えもあり良かったです。

Away from the fast-paced cities of mainland Japan, Kyushu’s Saga prefecture offers quaint towns and cities known for their traditional crafts, particularly ceramics. Rich in kaolin (a type of clay), Saga became the homeland of Arita ware, a delicate, decorative porcelain that is now celebrated worldwide and can be discovered in the towns of Arita, Imari, and Karatsu.
