Ise Ebi is caught mainly in the Shima Peninsula. It can be enjoyed in various ways, such as sashimi, grilled with its shell split in half, miso soup with exceptional broth, Ise Ebi tempura rice bowl, Ise Ebi curry, and Ise Ebi udon. It is also an essential ingredient for Shinto rituals and celebrations as a lucky charm.
Tekone Sushi
Tekone sushi is a local sushi made by marinating sashimi such as bonito and tuna in a sauce made with soy sauce, and combining it with vinegar rice. Many shops use their original marinade, so the taste varies depending on the shop, making it fun to compare and try different variations.
Matsusaka Beef Sukiyaki
Matsusaka beef is a high-quality beef with a sweet and rich flavor, and it emits an appetizing aroma when heated. Sukiyaki, which is enjoyed by putting vegetables in a pot where the flavor of Matsusaka beef has melted, is exceptional.

Thick udon noodles are boiled until soft, then mixed with a thick and slightly sweet broth made from soy sauce, bonito flakes, and dried sardines.

Iga Beef
Iga beef, raised in an environment where it can stretch out and eat old-fashioned grains and rice straw, has the greatest feature of sweetness spreading when you put it in your mouth. Because it is raised in nature, it has less marbling, and you can enjoy the original flavor of the meat in a healthy way, which is also a characteristic.
Uramura Oyster
They are called "Uramura One-Year Oysters" because they are seeded in the spring and grow until they can be harvested in October. They have no odor, and in the winter, you can enjoy a rich and creamy Uramura oyster with a good amount of meat.
