Seafood and green tea is the speciality here and it remains crowded with local residents and tourists all the time. Japan is presently experiencing winter season but even this cold climate could not prevent customers from coming to this soft ice cream shop, located just outside the market. The most popular soft ice cream here is the black coloured ‘squid ink’, which has remained as a best-seller for more than 20 years.
