Freshly Boiled Within 10 Minutes: Complete Inside Tour of Kamaage Shirasu

About this event

Held at Iwaya Port on Awaji Island, the 'Freshly Boiled Within 10 Minutes: Complete Inside Tour of Kamaage Shirasu' offers special access to tour auction areas and processing facilities that are normally off-limits to the general public. Parents and children can trace the complete journey of shirasu (whitebait) from winning auction bids and processing through to the dining table. The highlight of the tour is tasting freshly boiled kamaage shirasu within 10 minutes of processing—a delicacy rarely tasted even by market insiders. If timing permits, participants can also try 'Chirimen Monster Hunting' to find tiny octopuses and squids mixed among the shirasu. It is a valuable opportunity to deepen understanding of food education and local industry, making it ideal for summer vacation independent research projects. The tour lasts approximately 2 hours and is limited to 10 groups per session.
