    Wakayama Higashimuro-gun Taijicho Taiji 3171-7
    This supermarket is located opposite and slightly to the left of Taiji Fishermen Association. It is directly managed by the fishing association, and sells fresh fish and processed goods such as dried food. In addition to whale meat, which is recommended to be eaten as sashimi, there is also a wide variety of bacon, de-boned fish, and canned food which is perfect for souvenirs. The store draws many local customers because it sells fresh ingredients at reasonable prices. Another appeal of the store is the wide variety of other goods apart from seafood, such as vegetables, clothing and everyday sundries. The store's whale meat is also sold online.

    9月に「白鯨」に宿泊し、鯨料理と温泉を楽しんだ。 白鯨と漁協スーパーは少し離れているが、漁協と漁協スーパーは隣同士で、潰れたスーパーを挟んで町役場などは中心の町内のご近所である。 ふるさと納税という制度があって、うまく使う能力のない自治体から、魅力的な物品や企画を提供できる自治体に納税先を自由に選択できる制度でもある、と見ることもできようか。 2019年の太地町が企画したふるさと納税は何の魅力...

  • Yamasaki Shuhoen
    Shopping
    Wakayama Hidaka-gun Minabecho Kitado 222
    "This shop, located a short distance north of JR Minabe Station, has been making and selling various foods using Japanese plums exclusively from Wakayama since 1855. Particularly recommended is the shop's signature Fujiume, which is also a registered trademark of the shop. The product's name literally means ""Forbidden Plums,"" and is derived from the fact that when it was presented to a lord as a present, he praised it and ordered more to be made yet also forbade the commoners from making it for themselves. Producing this exquisite food is labor-intensive: Japanese plums are pickled in salt and further marinated in sugar, then wrapped in shiso leaves and pickled again for an additional three months. The shop can export its goods internationally for people living overseas. Some of the other products the shop sells include umeboshi pickled plums as well as plum extract and garlic marinated with plum paste and dried bonito flakes."
