Shark Fin
Take a spoonful of simmered shark fin with your soup spoon. The plump fibers melt on your tongue, as the thickness of the collagen and the savory flavor of the infused dashi spread throughout your mouth. Kesennuma is the top city in Japan for shark fin production. Approximately 90% of the sharks landed in the country gather at this port, and about 80% of domestic shark fin is produced here. It is said that shark fin production in Kesennuma has continued since the Edo period, and its quality is highly acclaimed as being "the best in the world." From hot simmered dishes to thick, velvety soups, the jiggly texture of the shark fin, having absorbed the dashi, is irresistible. It is a luxurious treasure of the sea that the port town of Kesennuma proudly presents to the world.
