Introduction of initiatives

(1) Cultivation and sales of Akamoku

　　In response to the decline in the catch of Sakura shrimp, we started cultivating Akamoku in 2020 in collaboration with Yui Fishing Port, Wakashio Research Group, and Fisheries Technology Research Institute to provide a source of income for local fishermen and processors. The harvest and sales volume of Akamoku has been increasing year by year, and the efforts have spread not only to the local Yui fishing port but also to Toi fishing port and other fishing ports in the Izu area.

Akamoku cultivation

(2) PR of local marine products

　　In addition to exhibiting at department store product exhibitions across the country, we also exhibited at large-scale exhibitions such as supermarket trade shows and FOODEX to promote local marine products such as sakura shrimp, whitebait, and red mok.

Sales situation

The Next Development

We hope to continue building a system that can provide a stable supply by improving Akamoku cultivation techniques and increasing the number of producers by communicating the appeal of Akamoku to those involved in the fishing industry. I would also like to promote Akamoku nationwide, along with sakura shrimp and whitebait, and increase its recognition as a specialty of Shizuoka.
