朝市の楽しみ｜The Fun of Morning Market

八戸の朝市をなめていた。場外でのっけ丼でも作る程度で考えていたら、300店舗数万人が集まる規模らしい。しかも朝9時には屋台が徹去されてしまうという。確かに朝5時には漁港の岸壁にはすでに車も人もいっぱいだ。優雅にコーヒーとパン、地元の刺身の盛り合わせ、肉まん、採れたて野菜、小物類など屋台もさまざま。人気屋台の焼き小籠包やおでんはすでに長蛇の列ができている。地元の人にとっては日常のような風景のようだ。ボクらはぶらぶらしながらアツアツのコロッケやメンチカツを楽しんだ。でも夕方5時からビール片手だったらもっと楽しいだろうなぁ。（絵と文：サカキテツ朗）

I had underestimated the morning market in Hachinohe. I thought it was just a place to make a rice bowl outside the market, but it turns out that the market attracts several tens of thousands of people at 300 stalls. Moreover, it is said that the stalls are cleared out by 9:00 a.m. Indeed, by 5:00 a.m., the quay at the fishing port was already full of cars and people. There are a variety of stalls offering elegant coffee and bread, assorted local sashimi, steamed meat buns, freshly picked vegetables, and knick-knacks. There is already a long line of people waiting for the popular food stalls offering baked xiaolongbao and oden. It seems to be an everyday scene for the locals. We enjoyed hot croquettes and fried pork cutlets as we strolled around. But it would have been more fun if we had a beer in our hands at 5 p.m. -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
