6 min di letturaEvent Overview
Susa Mikoto Ika Yokocho is an event held in the Susa area of Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, to celebrate local specialties. The event coincides with the direct sales market for the renowned brand 'Susa Mikoto Ika'. It offers a unique chance to experience the local food culture and purchase fresh agricultural and marine products produced directly in the Susa region.
Highlights & How to Enjoy
The main highlight is the opportunity to purchase fresh Hagi-region produce directly. The star of the show is the 'Susa Mikoto Ika' (Kensaki Squid), a premium brand caught carefully one by one by the Susa pole-and-line fishing fleet. This high-quality squid is famous for its translucent texture and can be enjoyed as sashimi or crispy tempura.
