Farming of Buri, or Japanese amberjack has been practiced in Taiki-cho. In recent years, they’ve created their own brand of Japanese Amberjack called Ise Buri, which is farmed by using a special blend of feed made with Shizuoka’s green tea, citrus fruits, and seaweeds.
Bekko-Zushi, a sushi made with amberjack, is one of the traditional dishes in Taiki-cho. The name Bokko, which means tortoiseshells comes from how the glossy amberjack on the sushi rice resembles one.
