OWNER INTERVIEW
The chef tells us
about the specificities of his shop and the charm of Mochimune
A traditional preparation that does not use any additives.
Kaneuchi's dried fish is sold the day of its arrival. Additives such as preservatives, amino acids or vitamin C are not used. The only ingredients used in the preparation are salt and soy sauce and this method has been preserved for over 40 years.
Obviously, weather changes with the seasons and we cannot get the same type of fish all year long. Without any rest, we need to get the best fish for the period. It's a very hard job but we really want to deliver the best products to our customers.
A barbecue on the seafront
We have set up a BBQ area to enjoy the freshly caught fish.
It's great to have a barbecue while contemplating the seashore of Mochimune and Suruga Bay. It is allowed to bring meat or drinks for the barbecue so do not hesitate to come with your family or friends.
A Town Where Tradition Has Been Kept
In recent years, we've had the opportunity to set up booths at department store events, delivering our proud dried fish to many customers across Japan. However, I hope people can visit Mochimune at least once.
Not just our store, but Mochimune is home to many shops that embody the spirit of preserving traditional practices. Each shop has its unique characteristics, and combined with the nostalgic streetscape reminiscent of the Showa era, I find it incredibly appealing. It's the diverse personalities that come together to form the charm of this town.
Recommended Spots in Mochimune
On Mochimune's west side, the scenery at Okuzure Coast is incredibly beautiful and highly recommended. It's common to see people walking along Mochimune Beach early in the morning, and the morning views here are exceptional. The sight of fishing boats departing all at once is something you definitely should experience at least once.
Along the eastern side of Mochimune Port, there's Hiranokai Park, which features a popular large shipwreck-themed playground. On weekends, it's bustling with families enjoying the park with their children.
We are looking forward to meeting new visitors.
