Nigiri-zushi in Japan first appeared during the Edo period (around the time of the industrial and civil revolutions and the establishment of world capitalism) and became popular among the general public. During the Edo period, nigirizushi made from fresh seafood caught in Tokyo Bay is called “Edomae-zushi” and is characterized by sophisticated techniques and attention to ingredients. It is also said that the unique culture of Japanese sushi restaurants is that they have counters. This is a unique culture born of Japan being surrounded by the sea.
Aomori Prefecture is surrounded by four oceans: the Pacific Ocean, the Sea of Japan, the Tsugaru Straits, and Mutsu Bay, and is known as a treasure house of fish. The omakase course at sushi restaurants offers an abundance of seafood that matches the characteristics of each sea, prepared with the utmost care and hospitality. Please come to Aomori to experience the traditional sushi culture that Japan is proud of.(Limited to 1 group)
