Bounties of the Ariake Sea in Uto
When you pour salt into the holes lined up in the tidal flats, the knobbed whelks pop their heads out. When freshly caught and grilled, the savory aroma of the sea and the umami of the shellfish burst forth. Uto City faces the Ariake Sea and is famous for shellfish such as knobbed whelk and clams. In spring, clam digging using salt to harvest whelks is a beloved activity for tourists. The vast tidal flats of the Ariake Sea, characterized by large tidal ranges, serve as a rich habitat for these shellfish. Additionally, the Okoshiki Coast in Uto is known nationwide as a stunning scenic spot, where beautiful curved tidal flats emerge after the tide recedes. These are the shellfish of Uto, nurtured by the Ariake Sea tidal flats. Please enjoy the seasonal flavors of spring to your heart's content, along with the fun of clam digging.
