やいろ亭 (Yairotei)

Tucked inside Kochi’s lively Hirome Market food hall, Yairotei is a go-to counter stall for the region’s signature dish: bonito tataki, seared and salted to order.

No-frills and cash-only, with just 15 seats, it draws a steady crowd of locals and tourists grazing their way through the market. A newly minted 2025 Tabelog Hyakumeiten honoree, it follows Hirome Market’s own irregular schedule rather than a fixed weekly day off.
