Hiraichi Scallops
Located in the center of Mutsu Bay, Hiraichi Town is the birthplace of scallop aquaculture. The challenges taken by ancestors who established the technology for collecting juvenile scallops using attachment devices laid the foundation for Aomori's scallop industry, which has now developed into a major industry worth over 10 billion yen. Boasting the highest landing volume of farmed scallops in Japan, with approximately 60,000 to 80,000 tons landed annually, it is truly a 'town of scallops.' Within the bay, where nutrient-rich water flows from the Hakkoda and Shirakami mountain ranges, the scallops grow slowly by feeding on plankton. Toughened by the cold temperatures of the northernmost part of Honshu, the meat is firm, thick, and full of sweetness. Whether served as sashimi or grilled, you can fully enjoy the excellence nurtured by Hiraichi, the holy land of scallops.
