The popular and affordable croquettes at Saito Sozaiten, where people line up, are made with Danshaku potatoes from Hokkaido. They're crispy outside, fluffy inside, and very flavorful. The portions aren't large, so they're perfect for eating while you walk.

Besides the prepared food shops, you can also browse inside the market and buy some dried seafood as souvenirs. The wakame from Minamisanriku is especially high quality, with thick leaves and a springy texture that adds flavor to dishes.
