SABA

Overview

Our saba journey begins at Tokyo's Toyosu Market. We then visit Kyoto Prefecture for some festival food that remains a key part of local tradition before heading to Obama, Fukui Prefecture, at the other end of the Saba Kaido, a historic trade route. Regional synergy continues to this day, with sake lees from Kyoto playing a key role in aquaculture at Wakasa Port. Also discover the expanding world of canned saba, and cook outside with our reporter, Michael, using organic veggies from his farm.
