The venue will feature hearty beachside-style grills and oyster roasts, tai-meshi (sea bream rice), seafood curry, fried fugu, and other dishes prepared with fresh catch. Sake that pairs well with fish and a variety of kitchen cars add to the lively atmosphere of a seaside market.<\/p>\n<p>Hands-on programs offer opportunities to learn about the ocean and environment while having fun. Activities include crab fishing and sea urchin cracking experiences, crafts using recycled plastic, a fresh fish filleting show, mochi-maki (rice cake tossing), quiz contests, and talk sessions with fishermen.
