Seafood lovers won’t want to miss this one! The best seafood from all over Japan will be on offer at the
region’s largest fish-eating event, held at Hibiya Park near the Imperial Palace in Tokyo’s Chiyoda
ward, starting November 19.
Back for 2021 after a year off during the pandemic, “The 7th Japan Fisherman’s Festival 2021 ~ National
Fish Market & Fish Market Festival”, and the local seafood at “Discover! Fukushima Fish Festival” runs
for three days from November 19 to 21 at Hibiya Park.

The best-seller every year is the “Overflowing Salmon Roe bowl”. It’s a super-luxury rice bowl with the
rich flavor and bubbly texture of brilliantly colored salmon roe, which seems to overflow from the
dish.
Hokkaido recently suffered a record low catch of salmon, triggering salmon roe prices to soar. To
counter this price problem, the organizers used their own route to procure trout roe instead.
While trout eggs are a little smaller than those of salmon, their texture and taste are not inferior.
They are being offered at cost, instead of for profit, at ￥1,800 JPY (about $15.00) for a mini bowl and
￥2,600
JPY (￥23 USD) for a full-sized bowl. There are plenty of other choices as well!
The event is being held at one of the most accessible parks in Tokyo. Entry to the park is free, but
entry to the event costs ￥200 JPY (about $1.75 USD).
全国各地の魚介料理が味わえる国内最大級の魚食イベント「第７回ジャパンフィッシャーマンズフェスティバル２０２１～全国魚市場＆魚河岸まつり～」と、福島県産の魚介を使った料理を楽しめる「発見！ふくしまお魚まつり」が１９～２１日の３日間、千代田区の日比谷公園で開催される。お薦めメニューを紹介する。
例年、売り上げトップを争う人気メニューが、「こぼれいくら丼」（こぼれいくら海越）だ。濃厚でプチプチ食感のイクラを器からあふれるほどに超ぜいたくに盛り付けた。
北海道のサケが記録的な不漁に見舞われ、イクラが品不足で高騰するなか、「マスイクラ」を独自ルートで調達した。サケのイクラよりも少し小ぶりだが、食感や味わいはまったく遜色ない。価格はミニ丼で１８００円、並が２６００円で、採算度外視で提供する。
