Across Japan, there are countless local delicacies rooted in the region—local specialties! Former chef and food connoisseur Kuroda travels all over Japan, exploring, tasting, and sometimes even preparing these unique local dishes, learning about their history and background.
This time, we're searching for local delicacies in Toba, Mie Prefecture, known as the "town of female divers and pearls"! Enjoying the breathtaking scenery and refreshing sea breeze, we'll savor the exquisite cuisine unique to Mie Prefecture!
Our first stop is Toba Marche, a showcase of Toba's food culture. A treasure trove of local specialties, it's a feast for the senses! We'll enjoy the bounty of the sea unique to Toba, including the historic "Utase shrimp" (named after a traditional fishing method), "Tekone-zushi" (a fisherman's meal from the Edo period), and the finest "Nori" (seaweed) nurtured by the calm waters of Ise Bay!
Maeharu Research thoroughly investigated the deliciousness of Kuwana's specialty clams, which were even depicted by the ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai! The secret to telling them fresh is... "sound"!? We learned a lot of wisdom from professional fishermen!
Next, we visited "Toba Sazae Street," a popular spot in front of Toba Station! At the lively and famous restaurant "Ama-goya Chisato," we thoroughly enjoyed exquisite grilled seafood, including the colorful "Hiougi clams" and the flavorful "Oosari clams"!
At the regular cooking corner, the luxurious "Ise lobster" made an appearance! We savored the firm, flavorful meat!

あと海女さんが白装束で素潜りするのは、今は完全に観光用途でしかありません。普段の海女さんはウェットスーツを着用しています。素潜りなのは一緒ですが。
後の方で出てくる「桑名のハマグリ」。デカいですよ。でも味は繊細で美味しい。久々に食いたくなったなあ。
黒田くんは学年で言うと私の3つ下。つまりほぼ同じようなものを食べて、同じようなものを見て育った世代。昔はかなりとんがっていて、それも魅力だったんだけど、年令を重ねて丸くなった黒田くんも違う魅力があっていいですね。若い女性が最初に接するおじさんにはちょうどいいのかも?
