Wakame tasting and sale by local fishermen Akita Oga February 23, 20:27
Last September, at the “National Enrichment of the Sea” competition held in Akita Prefecture, a sampling sale of seaweed handed by the Empress and raised by local fishermen was held in Oga City, Akita Prefecture.
The sampling sales event was held at Funakawa Fishing Port in Oga City in line with the Emperor's birthday, as seaweed seedlings including those handed by the Empress grew and the harvest season reached. Was.
At the venue, there was a corner where you can sample the seafood shabu-shabu that was just harvested on the 21st, and many people formed a line before the start.
Oga seaweed at this time is soft and turns bright green when blanched. Visitors were carrying wakame in their mouths with the freshly boiled scent.
Approximately 200 kilos of seaweed were sold in small portions, and within one and a half hours from the start, 330 bags were sold out.
A man from Akita City said, "I ate while remembering His Majesty the Emperor and Empress came last year. I hope they will be able to stay calm and healthy."
Wakame harvested off the coast of Oga City will be sold at local supermarkets and other stores starting this month.
