Ariake Sea Cuisine

Countless rivers flow into the Ariake Sea, which straddles Kumamoto prefecture, Saga prefecture, Fukuoka prefecture, and Nagasaki prefecture, and is regarded as a nutritious sea, and rich seafood is nurtured. There are many rare creatures in the Ariake Sea, which has the largest tidal flat in Japan and a tidal difference of up to 6 meters. “Mutsugoro,” “wallasbo,” “kuchizoko,” “red shell,” etc. are cooked in kabayaki, simmered dishes, deep-fried foods, etc., and you can enjoy ingredients that are hard to eat elsewhere. “Crab pickles,” which are made by grinding crabs (fiddler crabs) that live in the Ariake Sea, are perfect as a snack for alcoholic beverages.
