Tsukumi Tuna
Dip glossy, shining tuna lean meat into a special sauce and place it on hot rice. The 'Hyuga-don,' where sesame and egg yolk cling to the fish, is Tsukumi's pride, created by local fishermen. Hodo Island, located off the coast of Tsukumi City, was once a highly prosperous base for deep-sea tuna fishing. It is said that the tuna fishing industry, which began in the mid-Meiji era, boasted the highest landing volume in Japan as a single fishery cooperative at its peak. Hyuga-don originated from the 'makana' (staff meal) created by these fishermen to quickly get nutrition while at sea. Fresh tuna is still landed today, decorating local restaurants with sashimi and zuke-don (marinated tuna bowls). The Hodo Island Tuna Festival is also a lively event. Please savor the taste of the men of the sea.
