About Maguro Dishes

Katsuura Fishing Port (勝浦漁港, Katsuura gyoko) in Wakayama Prefecture is renowned as one of Japan’s top bases for tuna longline fishing. In Nachikatsuura Town, you’ll find countless restaurants and inns offering dishes made with incredibly fresh tuna. The local community, with a long history of enjoying fresh tuna, has developed a variety of unique ways to savor the fish. The firm, springy texture and rich flavor of fresh tuna simply cannot be matched by frozen alternatives. While ports like Yaizu in Shizuoka and Misaki in Kanagawa are famous for tuna as well, Katsuura Fishing Port boasts the largest haul of fresh tuna in the entire country.
