SHIZUOKA CITY KANKO NAVI

Have you ever heard of “Shizumae”?

Actually, this refers to fresh seafood caught right off the coast of Shizuoka City
. Fish caught in the Maehama area of Shizuoka City are affectionately called “Shizumae.”

Spreading out before you is Suruga Bay, known as Japan’s deepest bay. The combination
of deep waters and the blessings of the Kuroshio Current creates a very rich marine environment where many varieties of fish thrive.

There’s an abundance of nationally famous seafood, including shirasu (baby sardines), sakura ebi (cherry shrimp), and tuna! The appeal lies in the firm, springy texture and rich
umami flavor that can only be enjoyed because it’s so fresh.

In this video, Aoi Wasabi, a VTuber based in Shizuoka, will introduce the following points in a fun and easy-to-understand way:

Shizuoka City is a city that has grown alongside the sea. Once you
discover its charm, you’ll surely think, “I want to try the food!” and “I want to visit!”
