learning about the sea
We asked Mr. Hiroyuki Yamamoto, President and CEO of Kagawa
Prefectural Fish Market Co., Ltd., about the characteristics of the Seto Inland Sea and the fish that can be caught in the Seto Inland Sea.
He shared information about the Seto Inland Sea and the fish in the Seto Inland Sea, which he knows because he has a deep connection with fishermen and the Seto Inland Sea. I learned that the taste differs depending on the season,” said a voice.

Sabakeru Report
We invited Hitoshi Yamanaka and Mikiko Yamanaka of the Geneviève Cuisine Cooking School, who we are familiar with every time, as instructors, and gave a demonstration of how to cook and an actual cooking experience.
Among the participants, there were many who were handling fish for the first time, but they were all doing very well. One of the participants who experienced it said, “It feels very delicious to cook with the fish that you cut yourself.”
