Duck pot

Duck pot introduction

Ishikawa Prefecture has been one of the nation's leading places for ducks to fly since ancient times, and around Katano Kamoike in Kaga City, “saka net hunting,” where mallards are caught, which is said to have begun as midwinter training for samurai warriors of the Daishoji Domain, is still handed down around 300 years ago in the Genroku year of the Edo period. During the three-month hunting season from November 15 to February 15, the advantage of this “Sakaamigamo”, where only about 200 birds are caught per year, is that by targeting and capturing ducks before meals that take off from the pond to the rice paddies at dusk to eat, decay from internal organs is minimized, and it can be provided without odor. Unlike hunting where you shoot with a gun, “Sakaamigamo” caught in Sakaami does not hurt ducks, so it has no odor, and has sweet fat that is not found on red meat and has a wild flavor not found in those raised on red meat. The characteristic of Sakaamigo is that the original flavor is not impaired, and the balance of meat and fat is good.
