Landing of saury In Nemuro City, Japan's number one, every September, 15 elementary and junior high schools in the city provide saury fish ball soup for "hometown lunch" using local ingredients.
However, the saury did not approach the offshore of eastern Hokkaido, and the landing was expected to be lower than last year, which was the lowest ever, and it was changed to Madara's fish ball juice while record poor fishing continued.
At Nemuro Municipal Naruo Elementary School, on the 30th, 31 children in a group of 6th grade were provided with Madara's fish ball juice, which was a different ingredient than usual, but it tasted delicious.
A 6th grade girl said, "I'm sorry I couldn't eat saury. I want you to be able to get more and serve it for lunch."
Principal Ogawa said, "I can't get the saury, but I want you to remember the taste of the fish that you can get locally in some way."
