A downtown seafood market where narrow aisles are stacked with hairy crab, king crab, scallops and salmon on ice. Small counters in and around it serve rice bowls heaped with sea urchin, salmon roe and crab from breakfast time. It is small, a 20-minute loop, so think of it as a place to eat one great bowl. Vendors push samples hard; check prices before you commit to anything big like a crab.
