Mirage of Uozu
From spring to early summer in Toyama Bay, a phantom-like landscape appears over the sea—a mysterious natural phenomenon unique to Uozu City, which is renowned for its mirages. Uozu has been known as a famous spot for mirages since before the Edo period, and even today, many people visit to catch a glimpse of this illusory scenery. The local gourmet you must taste in Uozu is "Bai-meshi." This is a seasoned rice dish that fishermen catching whelks (bai-gai) used to eat as a quick meal during work. The savory umami of the whelk permeates every single grain of rice, resulting in a simple yet deeply flavorful dish. After gazing at the mirage, enjoy some warm Bai-meshi at a seaside shop. It is a moment where you can fully savor the blessings of Uozu's sea and local life.
