Arayo Main Store

This facility is the headquarters of a local Ishikawa fisheries company. The company both makes and sells marine products on-site. The company is particularly famous for its pickled blowfish ovaries, a rare delicacy found nowhere else in the country. Ordinarily, the ovaries of the blowfish are highly toxic, but a traditional three-year-long pickling process renders them perfectly safe to eat. This production process is only allowed to be carried out in Ishikawa Prefecture. The company also began offering factory tours in 2018. Every Saturday, those who have made an advance reservation can see this highly restricted process. After the tour, you can also try the company's products in the adjoining cafe.
