Sado Kaifu Winter Yellowtail Big Catch Festival

About this event

The "Sado Kaifu Winter Yellowtail Big Catch Festival," where visitors can savor winter yellowtail (kanburi)—the representative winter delicacy of Sado—will be held at its venue, Washizaki Fishing Port. Freshly caught winter yellowtail from offshore can be purchased at prices below retail market rates, attracting many tourists from outside the island. At the venue, guests can enjoy an array of yellowtail-focused events, including the traditional winter yellowtail race and special ara-jiru fish-head soup (for a fee) made with locally grown vegetables and fresh yellowtail. Cherished as a signature winter tradition of Sado, this festival offers a lively day to savor freshly caught winter yellowtail while feeling the energy of the local community.
