1.Season of fish and shellfish
When traveling in Japan or abroad, what I would like to know more about is the “season of food” in each region. I want to know more when, where, what to eat.
Since the seasons of each foods vary from place to place and each season, you may not be able to eat the specialties of the travel destination you visited. In the future, in order to reduce disappointment, I tried to find out the season of foods in each area.
I would like to provide you with information on the “season of food”, especially the “season of fish and shellfish”. This is because travelers to Japan are very interested in Japanese food. I want you to eat more delicious food during the delicious season.
2.When, where, and what to eat
We searched 87 kinds of “fish and shellfish” seasons from various site information such as fish market. In addition, we researched the catch from the data released by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (data for 2019), and created a matrix by totaling the top 5 catches by prefecture for each seafood. As a result, I knew when, where, and what to eat.
3.The best months to travel to Japan are July, June, December, November
In conclusion, if you travel to Japan based on the months when there are many “seafood seasons”, the best months are July, June, December, November, and August from the top. July corresponds to the season of 35 kinds of fish and shellfish, and similarly, there are 33 kinds in June, 32 kinds in December, 30 kinds in November, and 29 kinds in August. Personally, I had the impression that fish are delicious in winter, so I wasn’t surprised at the variety of seasons in November and December, but the variety of fish and shellfish that are in season in summer I was surprised.
For those who like seafood such as sushi and sashimi, it may be helpful when deciding on a travel destination.
Next time, I will report where to go in July to eat a lot of delicious seasonal fish and shellfish.
