Gourmet fair will be held in with Hagi's "#Setsuki Aji" as the main character!

Maaji, born off the west coast of the Goto Islands of Kyushu, came to the coast of the Sea of Japan in Yamaguchi Prefecture on the Tsushima Warm Current, and some of them lived and raised in the waters off the coast of Hagi (natural reefs and rocks). Here, they grow by eating abundant and high-quality food such as plankton and whitebait, and become a delicious "setsuki aji" with good fat and plump flesh.
Moreover, since Hagi is close to the fisheries, freshly caught horse mackerel is brought to the market and is very fresh ✨

Events include immediate sales of Fresh Freshly caught Setsuki Aji, sale of Setsuki Aji sushi and water processed goods, free tastings of overnight drying, and mochimaki.
