​​Kanazawa Central Wholesale Market opened in 1966 as the first central wholesale market in the Hokuriku region. Since then, the market has been responsible for the stable supply of foodstuffs within and outside the prefecture, and boasts one of the highest transaction volumes in Japan. Since the prices of perishable foodstuffs such as fish and vegetables tend to fluctuate greatly depending on weather and production conditions, and their nature makes it difficult to store them for long periods of time, Kanazawa City built and operates the central wholesale market to ensure fair and reasonable transactions and hygienic handling.​
