Visit the Yura Fisheries Cooperative Association's unique fish auction with a professional fisherman and broker who also supplies fish to famous fish markets such as Toyosu Market, high-end restaurants, and Michelin-starred restaurants. Experience the lively fishing town of Yura Port, a natural harbor with the largest variety of fish landed on Awaji Island. Yura Port is located in the exact center of the eastern side of Awaji Island. With the Kitan Strait stretching out before it and a wide fishing ground stretching from Osaka Bay to the Pacific Ocean, Yura Port is known as a natural harbor, and in addition to high-end fish such as sea bream and conger eel, about 150 types of fresh seafood are landed each season. This time, you will sneak into the Yura Fisheries Cooperative Association auction, which is usually only open to those involved, together with a professional fisherman who also supplies fish to markets and high-end restaurants nationwide. This is a valuable private tour experience that is held once a day and is limited to a maximum of four people. You can watch the auction right next to the fishermen, have them guide you around the fishing port, and enjoy the atmosphere of the local fishing town, with the people working energetically at Yura Port. [Yura Fisheries Cooperative Association auction] The fishermen themselves line up crates of fish one after another on a wooden platform. The fishermen instantly select the fish, quickly write the purchase price in chalk on palm-sized rectangular plates, and throw them one after another into a designated box-like area, where the person inside the box wins the bid to the highest bidder. This is a unique system of the Yura Fisheries Cooperative Association. It only takes a few tens of seconds, but you can see the tension and speed of the professional scene with your own eyes. This process is repeated over and over, and once again the fish are selected, the price is decided, and the bill is thrown in. During this time, fresh fish are brought in one after another from the boats docked at the port. This auction continues for about an hour. In the past, on days with a large catch, the auction would continue until the evening. ■Schedule10:30 Meet at Yura Fishing Port (Market) (Meet Awajishima Suisan Yamaguchi, a professional fisherman)10:35 Take a tour of Yura Fisheries Cooperative Association with Yamaguchi, a professional fishermanFirst, he shows us one fresh fish after another caught in the waters off Awaji Island, such as sea bream, flounder, horse mackerel, hairtail, octopus, abalone, and turban shells, before they are shipped to markets at high prices.
