Sakura shrimp, a specialty of Shizuoka City. The unique structure of Suruga Bay, where clear streams flow from Mt. Fuji and the Southern Alps, is suitable for its growth, and Shizuoka City is the only place in the world where you can enjoy it raw. Fresh sakura shrimp are known for their sweetness and melt-in-your-mouth flavor, and are also delicious when fried in a kettle or kakiage. The sun-drying, which can only be seen during the short fishing season, is a unique and spectacular sight.
