Tatehana Wharf Morning Market
-
- Morning markets are all about making connections with local people, trying out a variety of fresh food, and having the pleasure of finding a bargain or rare item not found outside the local area. In Aomori, and especially in Hachinohe, there are several highly-rated morning markets all worth going to, although if time is of the essence and you can only try one, we suggest you head to the Tatehana Wharf Morning Market. Tatehana Wharf Morning Market This is one of Japan’s biggest outdoor markets and draws massive crowds as well as a long list of vendors from around the prefecture. Farmers, chefs, craftsmen, baristas, and fishermen gather every Sunday at the Tatehana Wharf parking lot and open up their tents in sync with the sunrise (in the summer usually around 5am). You might think this is early and not a lot of people would show up at this time, but soon after the sun is up, the locals are also walking into the wharf to get first dibs at the endless food offering which obviously includes seafood, ever so popular in this part of the country.

Where to Eat in Aomori Prefecture
-
- On a trip to Aomori Prefecture, when it comes to eating out there are more options beyond trying the traditional dishes that make up Aomori’s soul food list. If you want to take a break from the soba and ramen dishes famous in the region, we have some recommendations covering Aomori City as well as other areas around the prefecture. Hotate Goya Hotate Goya At Hotate Goya, right next to Aomori Station, you can catch your lunch and eat it too. For 500 yen, you can try your luck and catch as many scallops as you can within three minutes from the two tanks available at the restaurant. Once the three minutes are up, you can then choose to grill the scallops yourself, eat them as sashimi, or as nigiri sushi. If you go empty handed the owner will throw in a couple of scallops as your consolation prize. If fishing scallops is not your thing, there are other local seafood specialties like the sashimi donburi and grilled fish to name a few. Hotate Goya is open all year round from 11am to 7pm, or until 8pm from May to August. Hotate Goya Aomori Gyosai Centre Aomori Gyosai Centre Auga Ichiba Market is not the only place in Aomori City where you can find seafood on the cheap. A couple of blocks south from the market, the Aomori Gyosai Centre awaits customers who not only want to eat fresh seafood, but also take pleasure in making their personalized Nokke-don (the local version of donburi or rice bowl and seafood set). Most of the stalls inside the centre are labelled either with a blue flag (those selling seafood) or an orange flag (those selling rice). As you walk in, you can purchase ten tickets for 1,300 or five tickets for 650 yen. Ticket in hand, you then exchange the tickets for sashimi and/or rice, and voila, create your own personalized meal, and then enjoy it at one of the eating areas. It does not get any simpler and fresher than that. Aomori Gyosai Centre Oomanzoku Sashimi Oomanzoku Sashimi To get to Oomanzoku you’ll have to do a bit of travel and then some. To be more precise you’ll have to get to Oma, the most northern point on the Honshu Island and a town famous nationwide for its tuna. For 3,300 yen, you can enjoy a tuna donburi set including three different kinds of tuna, miso soup, and Japanese pickles. The tuna in Oma and at Oomanzoku is delicious all year round and even more special from October onwards when the tuna season begins. Either way if you are exploring the area, this place is a must. Oomanzoku is open everyday from 8am to 6pm. Hakuri Tabai Hanbey Hakuri Tabai Hanbey This izakaya is part of a nationwide chain created to provide low cost izakaya fare while transporting its customers back to the Showa Era. In Hirosaki City you will find this charming izakaya tucked along Kakumikoji, Hirosaki’s izakaya street and covered with movie posters and signs. Inside, you will definitely feel like you are stepping back in time, and aside from the 50 yen yakitori sticks, the restaurants nostalgic atmosphere and friendly staff will easily keep you entertained for a few hours. Hakuri Tabai Hanbey is open from 5pm to midnight from Sunday to Thursday, and until 1am Friday and Saturday. ©NAVITIME JAPAN. Travel Info Check out our travel tips to make your trip better!

Aomori’s Soul Food
-
- Aomori’s soul food is all about hearty noodles and soupy dishes. Maybe because of the harsh winter temperatures or because locals just have a high appreciation for deep flavours. Whatever the case might be, one thing is for sure; these dishes are loved by locals and desired by many visitors to this part of Japan. Here are some options we believe will leave you wanting more. Towada Barayaki Barayaki is a beef dish popular with locals in the Towada area of Aomori. Cow ribs are mixed with minced onions and a sweet and spicy soy sauce (tare sauce in Japanese), grilled on a hot plate and brought sizzling hot to your table. Barayaki can be found in various restaurants around Towada, although the ones from Towadako Backpackers in Lake Towada and from Tsukasa Barayaki Taishu Shokudo in Towada City are at the top of our list. Barayaki Kaiyaki Miso at Osanai Shokudo Kaiyaki miso is one of the most familiar and recognized dishes in Aomori. This is a mix of miso, scallops, eggs, and leeks, cooked and served together in a large scallop shell; a shell that with repeated use, adds even more flavour to this combination of ingredients. Kaiyaki miso is found at various locations around Aomori, and Osanai Shokudo near Aomori Station rises above the rest with the special addition of sea urchin. According to the owner at Osanai Shokudo, the shells were first used a long time ago in fishing boats, where regular dishes could not be used due to the continuous rocking of the boat. Osanai Shokudo is located a five minute walk from Aomori Station. Kaiyaki Miso Aji No Sapporo Onishi Ramen With harsh winters being the norm in Aomori, it is no surprise that warm and soupy dishes feature prominently on restaurant menus around the prefecture. One of the best examples is the milky ramen at Aji No Sapporo Onishi Ramen. This combination of miso, curry, milk, butter, and pork is a powerful and award winning ramen that cannot be left out of a foodie traveler’s itinerary. It is available for around 700 yen a bowl. MilkyCurryRamen Tsugaru Soba at Sancyu Shokudo. Sancyu Shokudo’s tsugaru soba is one of the favourite local dishes in Hirosaki. For four generations, the owners, who are true soba experts, have been making one of the best Soba’s in Aomori. The broth used at Sancyu uses an iwashi (sardine) base, with the sardines carefully dried and cleaned prior to cooking. The resulting broth flavour is wonderful and easy to drink. On top of this, most of the ingredients and side dishes are all hand made from scratch in house. Tsugaru Soba Ganso Myoko’s Tsuyu Yakisoba Over 20 years ago the staff at Ganso Myoko made a mistake and added ramen broth to their yakisoba. Fastforward to today and you get a unique combination called tsuyu yakisoba. Wheat noodles are cooked in a flavourful dark broth that will leave you quite satisfied. If you want the original tsuyu yakisoba then this is the place to be while passing through Kuroishi City. Ganso Myoko is open from 11am to 6pm, and their signature yakisoba will set you back 700 yen.

お盆前の夏の昼過ぎ、港も街も静かで人もわずかでした。地元の人の評判を聞いて行きました。観光名所の岬からは少し離れていて車で数分、看板とナビ頼りでも迷いました。駐車場はあるのかもわからず、港の岸壁に止めました。神社下ので交差点の小路にある小さな店であることは、後でわかります。 ６人くらいのカウンター席に２人で座りました。小上がりにはテーブル二つ。赤シャツの職人さん一人でしたが、静かで紳士的です。全国...

岩木山神社をお参りした後、暑くて喉が乾いたところ、珈琲店に気づきました。夕方だったので、閉店前でしたが、アイスコーヒーを頼みました。スッキリした味わいでおいしかったです。コーヒードーナツも美味しそうでした。

Aomori Main Areas
Centuries-old stories of samurai at Kakunodate and the remains of millennia-old archaeological sites including the likes of Isedotai invite history buffs to delve into Aomori’s fascinating history. As the most northern prefecture on the Japanese mainland, Aomori enjoys a cooler climate, which makes it a welcome escape from the southern cities for combining castles, art galleries, and summer festivals with the great outdoors.
