Japan is well known for its high-quality fish, but most of us only encounter it in the grocery store or served in a restaurant. Today, Shizuka is going right to the source and visiting the Japanese port town of Katsuura, to see how they bring in high-quality katsuo, aka bonito fish every day.

A Day in a Japanese Fishing Village

Of course, no trip on byFood is complete without tasting the local cuisine! Shizuka visits three restaurants to sample the fish caught in the morning. Chopped, fried, served raw or boiled, this top-quality fish is not to be missed! From the sea and onto the table, this Japanese fishing village in Chiba prefecture is a great example of the pride and dedication that goes into this staple of Japanese cuisine.

Japanese spiny lobster risotto
