Maguro from Sotogahama
Sotogahama Town faces the Tsugaru Strait at the northern tip of the Tsugaru Peninsula. This is a hidden gem for tuna fishing known only to those in the know. In the waters off Cape Tappi and Mimaya within the Tsugaru Strait, warm and cold currents collide, creating an area with very fast tidal currents. It is said that the tuna raised by being tossed about in these intense currents have firm flesh and high quality. Local fishermen carefully catch each fish one by one using pole-and-line fishing with squid as bait. While the tuna from neighboring Oma is famous, the tuna landed in Sotogahama from the same strait is equally impressive. It features meltingly smooth fat and a robust umami in the red meat. If you encounter it during your travels in Tsugaru, please give it a taste. It is a powerful flavor forged by the northern sea.
