The exterior is fitting for the historic market, reminiscent of the traditional shops that used to be abundant in the area. ◇ Seating Takeout only. ◇ Menu Structure Seafood dried goods seem to be the main focus. I ordered the following: - Bonito (blood removed) (400 yen) → Including tax I often find myself in the kitchen during the New Year holidays, striving to cook delicious dishes, which requires a good dashi (broth)! Therefore, I frequently purchase kombu and bonito flakes from this store, around a few times a year. People often ask, "Isn't it the same as the ones from the supermarket?" But I believe there is a difference, both in terms of quality and sentiment. Now, I'm going to make some dashi! ◆ Strong Points A traditional dried goods store. ◆ Customer Service Very friendly and casual. ◆ Summary I'm not sure if it's necessary to write a review, but I appreciate their service. It's not because there are few reviews for restaurants in Tanka Market! Thank you for the meal! ^ ^
