About the Event
“Umaka Ichiba” brings the charm of a bustling fish market to the city, allowing guests to choose from a variety of fresh seafood such as natural tuna from Misaki, shell-on oysters, and live sea urchins. The name “Umaka Ichiba” is derived from the initial letters of the main ingredients: “uni” (sea urchin), “maguro” (tuna), and “kaki” (oysters), highlighting the event’s focus on these ocean delicacies.
The event space is designed to mimic the lively atmosphere of a port market, complete with flags and banners.
