The several small restaurants inside and around Omi-cho Market serve kaisendon — raw seafood rice bowls — that represent some of the best-value eating in the city. The bowls are typically piled with whatever is freshest that day: crab, shrimp, sea urchin, salmon roe, and sliced raw fish over seasoned rice.
Arrive by 11:30 if you want a table; the most popular stalls sell out by early afternoon. Prices range from about ¥1,500 to ¥3,500 depending on the combination. The market stalls selling ingredients will also make up a bowl to order if you ask — pick your fish and they prepare it on the spot.
