The number of stores opened has decreased to one-fourth of the average year, but charcoal-grilled saury is sold for 200 yen per fish to the first 300 people, and visitors will enjoy the greasy saury. I was tasting it.
A mother in her thirties, who visited with four family members, said, "I'm grateful for this opportunity because saury isn't caught so much these days and I can't put it on the table very much."
Mr. Kazui Nakajima of the Miyako Tourism and Cultural Exchange Association said, "The number of saury is smaller than usual, but I am glad that you can enjoy the taste of the season. I hope that the infectious disease will be resolved and the amount of landed saury will be restored. I will. "
