The popular Uonotana fish market is famous for its catch of the day, known as “Hiruami”, to be sold for lunch time. An array of fresh marine products from the Port of Akashi is neatly displayed for shoppers. The market offers a selection of sushi restaurants and a local dish called “Akashiyaki”, pancake balls filled with octopus.
