Kouratei Seafood and Crab Restaurant

Kouratei is a dining venue inside Nihonkai Sakana Machi, with a focus on crab and seafood from the Sea of Japan. Its official site presents seafood dishes and grilled options, and distinguishes the restaurant from the group’s separate retail shop inside the market. That distinction matters when checking maps or calling: this profile refers to the dining room, not the takeaway counter.

Diners’ comments praise fresh crab, grilled fish and the chance to turn a market visit into a full meal. Other visitors feel that the price or experience does not always meet expectations, a useful consideration in a venue with several alternatives and menus that change by season. Before ordering a particular crab or a special dish, ask the price and whether the product is seasonal or from another source; not every seafood item in the market is necessarily a local catch.

The address is 1-1531 Wakabacho, inside the market, with free parking and bus access from Tsuruga Station. Closing time follows the facility: from July through December 2026, the market plans to close at 5:30 pm on weekdays and 6:00 pm on weekends, but its calendar can change and individual businesses may finish earlier. Kouratei lists no regular weekly closing day of its own, though it closes when the market shuts for maintenance. It is an option for visitors focused on crab or grilled fish who want to compare choices nearby.
