Tasting experience Yaizu and traditional Yaizu lucky charm "Santoku" making

[TUNALABO]

Yaizu is the birthplace of canned tuna in Japan. TUNALABO is a workshop where the owner, who ran a small restaurant in Tokyo for many years, carefully makes each “Otsuna” (tuna marinated in oil) from the best ingredients available. “Otsuna" is a tuna gem born from an idea unique to Yaizu. Perfected through trial and error by combining carefully selected tuna and oil with Yaizu's deep sea water, “Otsuna” is carefully prepared one by one at this workshop.

The name “Otsuna” is derived from the Japanese word “otsunagari,” which means a bond between people. In the store, visitors can sample 13 varieties of this unique tuna. It is also popular as a souvenir or gift.

[Yaizu Santoku]

This is a traditional lucky charm from Yaizu. A town of pelagic fishing, this lucky charm makes sure fishermen out at sea will be safely reunited with their loved ones.

To friends who are leaving, children moving out of their parents' homes, to be a family again in the next life - everyone has their own wish to be reunited. Come and make your one and only original lucky charm in the world.
