Whales of Higashisonogi
"One whale enriches seven bays." There is a town where this saying has been passed down. Higashisonogi Town, facing Omura Bay, is a village of whaling culture that flourished as a hub for whale collection for over 300 years, from the Edo period to the Taisho era. It is said that Gidayu Fukasawa, a retainer of the Omura Clan, learned advanced net-catching whaling in Kishu and began whaling in the fishing grounds of the West Sea using this area as his base. Even today, whale meat remains rooted in local family dining tables, enjoyed through various dishes such as sashimi, bacon, and whale cutlets. In recent years, a new specialty called "Whale Yaki" (grilled whale) has also emerged. Experience the deep whale food culture nurtured by Nagasaki in Higashisonogi, featuring the refreshing umami of the lean meat and the melting texture of the skin.
