Meguro's Sanma Festival Unfished and frozen fish prepared September 8 at 12:08

The annual “Meguro Sanma Festival” is held in front of JR Meguro Station in Tokyo. However, due to the continued severe unfishing, we took an unusual response to last year's saury that had been frozen.

The “Meguro Sanma Festival” is a local shopping street that opens every year after the classic rakugo “Meguro Sanma”.

At the venue, approximately 7000 saury charcoal grills were served free of charge, and a long line was formed in the morning.

In general, we have prepared freshly caught saury in Miyako City, Iwate Prefecture. However, since severe unfishing continues, it is the first response that last year the saury that had been landed and frozen was preserved. I was forced to.

A 70-year-old man from Ibaraki Prefecture, who visited for the third time, said, “It's frozen, so it tastes a little different, but it's delicious.”

Victory Sasaki, Miyako City Fisheries Division, Iwate Prefecture, said, “The unfishing of saury has been as serious as it has never been before. .

The “Meguro Sanma Festival” will be held until 2pm.
