A festival to taste the sea urchin, which is a specialty of Sai Village, Aomori Prefecture, which is in season, was held for the first time in three years.
This event is held at this time of the year by the Sai Village Tourism Association to promote the specialty sea urchin, but it was canceled last year due to the influence of the new corona.
Many families visited for the first time in three years to have a sea urchin bowl with plenty of fresh Kitamurasaki sea urchin.
As an infection control measure, the sea urchin bowl was offered only to those who applied in advance, and the visitors enjoyed the 1800 yen sea urchin bowl.
In addition, local fishermen's cooperatives sell raw sea urchins with shells at a lower price than usual, and some of them mailed the sea urchins they bought to friends living outside the prefecture on the spot.
A man in his 40s from Mutsu said, "I'm glad I came because the sea urchins are getting higher these days. I want you to hold it again next year."
A woman in her 40s from Mutsu City with her parents said, "It was just her mother's birthday, so I applied for a unidon bowl with a postcard as a gift. The fresh sea urchin was sweet and delicious. I was talking.
