"Rishiri kelp" The peak season for fishing on the coast of Wakkanai, Hokkaido "Slightly unfished" 22:30, July 30
The kelp fishing along the coast of Wakkanai City, Hokkaido is at its peak, and the landing is being done every day at the port. However, the growth of kelp is slow, and it is a little unfished so far.
Rishiri kelp, which can be found on the Wakkanai coast and Rishiri Island, is very popular as a high-quality, high-quality dashi stock.
The coast of Wakkanai is at the peak of fishing now, and fishing boats that had just finished fishing for 30 days returned to the port one after another, landing a pile of kelp.
According to Dokken Wakkanai Fisheries Research Station, this year's kombu kelp is slow to grow due to lack of sunshine due to overcast and rainy weather in June.
Tatsuhiro Sasaki, a fisherman, said, “There are a lot of insufficient kelp and the quality is poor.
Wakkanai coastal kelp fishing continues until late September.
