It is also processed in various ways and is popular as a Souvenir.

〇 Look at the river, eat the river
If you take a leisurely stroll along the Shimanto River, you can see eels and scampi shrimp submerged in water from the Submersible Bridge. Depending on the season, you may meet people fishing for sweetfish in the river or fishing in riverboats. There may be a gori fishing device lined with stones on the riverbank, or the harvest of green nori is just taking place at the mouth of the river. If you take the time to look at the Shimanto River, you will encounter something "river and human activities". And at night, you can enjoy the Ingredients harvested by the contraptions you actually saw in the river at the restaurant. It is a different way to enjoy the "familiar" Shimanto River.

〇 Introduction of traditional fishing methods
・Fire fishing of sweetfish
Set up nets to cross the river in advance, and wave a Bonfire from the top of the boat at night. Surprised by the raging band of flames, the sweetfish flees and is driven into the net. Nowadays, it is often done using LEDs, but the principle is a traditional fishing method that has not changed since ancient times. sweetfish are also caught in Other by various fishing methods such as casting nets and fishing.

・Scampi shrimp fishing
If you look from the Submersible Bridge near the water's edge, you can see a series of PVC pipes evenly spaced. This is a fishing gear called "Korobashi" that collects scampi shrimp. In the past, it was made of wood, but over time it has changed to a Ingredients that is easier to handle. Standard scampi shrimp are brightly colored and eaten with karaage. In addition, it is useful as a Township taste, such as resembling a large raised cucumber.

・Eel fishing
　There are Styrofoam and plastic bottles floating in the river without streaming. This may be a landmark of Korobashi catching eels. Eels, which are sensitive to odors, do not enter resin contraptions, and wooden korobashi is still used even now.

・Gori fishing
If the riverbank is lined with stones that dammed the water, it may be a gimmick for Gori's Noborio Toshiue fishing. In the Shimanto River, the juveniles of Numatitib are called "gori" and are popular as a taste of early summer from Spring. Standard is to eat it as karaage or tsukuni.
