Saiki Fish Market — location in Préfecture d'Oita, Saiki

Préfecture d'Oita · Saiki

32.9597°N, 131.9011°E

Saiki City on Oita's southern coast is one of Kyushu's major fishing ports, particularly renowned for tuna and mackerel. The city's waterfront direct-sales fish market opens to the public when visitors can purchase ultra-fresh sashimi from market vendors, watch tuna cutting demonstrations, and eat at no-frills market cafeterias serving rice bowls topped with whatever came off the boat that morning.

Saiki's fishing fleet operates in the Bungo Channel where the Pacific meets the Seto Inland Sea — convergence of currents creates rich fishing grounds.

Guide d'initié

**Tuna demonstrations:** Tuna cutting demonstrations and sales typically happen in the morning hours — check locally for the current schedule, as auction/demo access for visitors can change. **Market breakfast:** Order kaisen-don (海鮮丼, seafood rice bowl, ¥1,000–1,500) at one of three market cafeterias. The toppings vary by daily catch but always include tuna, local white fish, and ikura (salmon roe). The rice bowls are massive — enough for two meals. **Regional speciality: Gomadashi:** Saiki's signature dish is gomadashi (胡麻だし) — ground sesame paste mixed with soy sauce, mirin, and local white fish, eaten over warm rice or somen noodles. Market stalls sell jarred gomadashi (¥600) as take-home souvenirs.
