泊った肥前の国民宿舎ではあえて朝飯を食べずに呼子へ。9時頃の到着でもまだまだ営業中の呼子の朝市(11時まで営業との事)、お土産を物色し大漁旗が旗めく漁港を歩き、お目当てのイカ料理！漁港目の前、朝市からもすぐの"いか本家"へ。豪勢な御膳がメニューに並ぶ中、注文したのはイカ丼といかしゅうまいにいか墨餃子。いかは新鮮で柔らかく優しい味。これでも大満足の朝ごはん！唐津から近くコンパクトな街なので、立ち寄り... more »

In the national residence of Hizen was deliberately eating breakfast to yobuko. Yobuko still open by the arrival of about nine o'clock in the morning (11 a.m. and open thing), walking, fishing and hunting for souvenirs, big catch flag flown looking squid dishes! The front of fishing, from the morning of "how original" to. Around a lavish platter menu, we ordered how squid and rice dumpling to go ink dumplings. How is a fresh, soft and gentle taste. This great breakfast! From Karatsu near compact city, so great care. Enjoy a refreshing breakfast relax time!

這裡的店好多都是早上營業, 一到中午就都關門了, 所以最好爭取時間到來。還以為可以看到晒魷魚的景象, 可能因為季節關係所以不見。這裡有很多魷魚的產品售賣, 還有即買即吃的烤海鮮。 more »

Many of the shops here are in the morning and are closed at noon, so it is best to fight for time. It is also possible to see the sun squid fish, which may be due to the seasonal relationship. There are a lot of squid fish products sold, and that is, eat the roast seafood.

イカ好きにはたまりません。朝一自体は小さい規模ですが、色々安く買えます。昨年立ち寄ってまた今年もリピートしました。ワカメやじゃこも新鮮です。おばちゃん達が頑張って売っているのでついつい買ってしまいます。 more »

Squid is irresistible. Morning 1 itself is small, but you can buy things cheaper. The last year has also repeated this year. It is fresh wakame seaweed and small fishes. Women who are hard sells because I buy them.

Many local food, processed seafood, and snack that you can eat right away. There is a shop selling fishcake donut and squid deep fried balls, worth trying. And a food truck selling squid burger. Even fresh sea urchin, salty but tasty.

Really need to reach there early. I reached there at 11am and Eventhough the market closes at 12noon, there are only very few shops, stalls that are open. A bit disappointing as it was a long drive from Fukuoka.

Yobuko Morning Market is a good place for those who likes seafood and vegetables. It offers a wide range of many delicacy. In my case I tried 'cassis' ice cream which tasted bit sour like berry while my friend tried the yellow one which is called 'Yuzu' it tasted like lemonade, a good one indeed. This market faces a big body of water so you might as well try and see the 'Nanatsugama'.

If you want to see local people's living, here is the good place to be. Local people selling live-fish and squid, preserved fish and squid, fresh vegetable. There are also a restaurant where you can order the live-squid and a small shop name 朝一しゅうまい (Asaishi Sumai) selling a Sumai (squid ball).
