When it comes to Japanese cuisine popular among foreign visitors to Japan, sushi is definitely the most popular choice! Among sushi dishes, the rich and creamy flavor of fatty tuna melts in your mouth, captivating many people. In search of such tuna, foreign visitors line up early in the morning at sushi restaurants in Toyosu Market, which boasts the world's largest fish trade volume. Enjoying sushi made with the finest tuna from across the country at Toyosu is definitely the way to go. However, Japan also has “local fish” that can only be enjoyed in specific regions, featuring the “seasonal” and ‘fresh’ flavors unique to each area. These seasonal and fresh local fish can only be savored locally. That's why even Japanese people make the effort to travel to regional areas to indulge in freshly caught “local fish.”
