Did you know that there is a new sightseeing spot in Osaka?
That’s “Nakanoshima Fishing Port”.
“Nakanoshima Fishing Port” has just opened on April 2nd, 2015, therefore it is a spot that is yet less know by foreigner tourists as well as Japanese locals.

To this fishing port are delivered fresh fish and seafood from other ports in Hokkaido, Mie, Hyogo, Tottori, Miyazaki and Kagoshima.
Also, since the fish and seafood are delivered while still alive, you can have them while still very fresh.

We were hungry so we went towards the cafeteria.

You can choose from two areas for enjoying your food.
One of them is this area covered with a roof.

Another one is this area where you can enjoy your view of the sea.

This is the food menu.

This is the drinks menu.

First we ordered raw mackerel sashimi.

The texture of the mackerel when you taste it is very elastic, and there was no unpleasant fish smell whatsoever.
It is very tasty!

Then we began our barbecue.
On the grill we cooked scallops,

we cooked turban shells,

we cooked oysters and ate them.

All of these were very fresh, we were impressed how tasty they were.
You can have scallops even without flavouring them with soy sauce or such, they are tasty just by themselves.

Also, when you do a barbecue, cinder may fly, so please wear this jumper.

Then we ordered Kaisendon – a bowl of rice topped with raw fish sashimi.

Everyone had a chance to taste fresh fish together with delicious rice.
All of you should also taste this fresh fish once!
