Osakana Kyowakoku (Fish Republic) Ebisu Maru I ate “Raw Shirasu (whitebait) Don and Grilled Spanish Mackerel Don” (Yen950) at “Osakana Kyowakoku (Fish Republic) Ebisu Maru” at Road Station “Awaji”. Both raw shirasu and Spanish mackerel are specialties of Awaji Island. Awaji Island’s raw shirasu (season is May-November) and Awaji Island’s Spanish mackerel (season is September-November) are selected by Japan Fisheries Cooperatives as “PRIDE FISH” in summer and autumn in Hyogo Prefecture. It was a very luxurious experience to be able to eat both “PRIDE FISH” selected from Awaji Island in one bowl. Especially, the raw shirasu was excellent. If possible, I wanted to eat the Spanish mackerel as raw, not roasted.   2. Michi no Ekinaka Shokudo “Raw Shirasu (whitebait) Don and Grilled Spanish Mackerel Don” of “Osakana Kyowakoku (Fish Republic) Ebisu Maru” was very delicious and very satisfying, but I was hungry because the amount was a little small. Therefore, I wanted to eat theread moreOctober itinerary in Japan Day 8 (Hyogo Day 2 Meal edition)

October itinerary in Japan Day 5 ( Fukui Day 3 Meal edition)

October itinerary in Japan Day 5 ( Fukui Day 3 Meal edition) (Sunday, October 24)   Table of contents 1. Breakfast “Ekiben” 2. Lunch “Sushi Masa Main Store” 3. Dinner “Totogen Nishi Maizuru”   1. Breakfast “Ekiben” While waiting for the train at Tsuruga station, I had Ekiben for breakfast. The ekiben is “Tsuruga specialty original Tai sushi” (Yen 1,100). Beautifully colored sushi made with yellowback seabream. The vinegar was slightly moderate, so it brought out the flavor of the yellowback seabream, and it was a very delicious sushi. We had delicious sushi and it was a very satisfying breakfast. Sasa-zuke of Kodai is famous as a specialty of Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, but I think that sushi in Tsuruga City may become more famous as a food that uses the same yellowback seabream. The ekiben package also feels nostalgic and bright, so I think it’s very good. I love Ekiben and want to buy and eat as much as I can when traveling. However, I am disappointed that the sales of Ekiben at local stations are declining due to the recent trend toward higher railway speeds. In 1903 (Meiji 36), Shioso Co., Ltd., which sells “Tsuruga specialty, the originalread moreOctober itinerary in Japan Day 5 ( Fukui Day 3 Meal edition)

We will report the detailed itinerary (railways / buses, timetables, fares) for October after actually going to the site. Nagasaki Prefecture (8 types of seafood) is ranked first, Hokkaido (7 types) is ranked second, and Shimane Prefecture (6 types) is ranked third among the prefectures with the highest catches and types of fish and shellfish that are in season in October. Ishikawa prefecture, Shizuoka prefecture, and Hyogo prefecture (5 types) were in 4th place. Nagasaki Prefecture is considering adopting it for the itinerary idea in November, so this time we will adopt Ishikawa Prefecture and Hyogo Prefecture, which are geographically close to each other, from the top prefectures. If you travel to Ishikawa, Fukui, Kyoto, and Hyogo prefectures in October, the seasonal seafood, local dishes, and local popular dishes that we can eat are as follows.
