“A journey exploring the food and livelihoods
brought by the Sea of Genkai ”
“Karatsu” is written as “唐津” in Chinese characters (Kanji) and means a port leading to the continent. It is said that rice, the center of Japan's diet, was introduced to Karatsu from the continent long ago. Japanese people have devised ways to make the rice even tastier and have pursued ingredients and cooking methods that go well with the rice.
Karatsu is the perfect place to find these ingredients. The plateau provides good winds and a good environment for growing crops. The rich nutrients from the mountains are carried by the great rivers, which also support the rich sea. The people who live here are grateful for the blessings of nature in their daily lives.On this trip, let's use e-bikes to pursue the culture of Karatsu, which has been passed down from generation to generation, such as food, people's lives, and gratitude for the blessings of nature!
