Matsumae Castle Town Tuna Festival

About this event

Held in Matsumae Town, Hokkaido, the "Matsumae Castle Town Tuna Festival" is a gourmet event whose main appeal is enjoying exquisite Matsumae Pacific bluefin tuna—a delicacy rarely tasted even locally—at beach-head wholesale prices. Reared in the rough waters of the Tsugaru Strait, the tuna has firm meat and rich marbling, offering exceptional flavor. The annually popular whole bluefin tuna butchering demonstration and direct sales market will be held, bustling with numerous visitors. Furthermore, stalls offering seasonal Matsumae seafood and various tuna dishes will line the venue, making it an event perfect for the autumn appetite. At the tuna direct sales market, numbered tickets will be distributed, and purchase limits per person will apply.
