Harbor House Kaname

Japan's Three Scenic Spots: Matsushima. Many people picture the calm scenery of spring and summer, but fishermen know. 'Winter in Matsushima is the true peak season.' In this season, when the air freezes and the sea is at its clearest. The quiet bays nurture life-filled, exceptional flavors. Celebrating its 33rd anniversary, our inn has prepared a special thank-you plan to share Matsushima's unique winter experience with you, offering normally charged 'fishing experience' activities at [practically no cost]. ——Why should you visit Matsushima in winter? Because it offers a 'live experience' that you cannot find anywhere else. Experience ①: Harvesting the Seaweed Trio with Your Own Hands. An ideal location with the pier right in front of you. Board Captain Sakurai's boat, feel the icy sea breeze, and harvest the 'jewels of the sea' available only in winter. Wakame: Exceptionally fresh! The earliest harvested wakame, known as 'Japan's fastest harvest'. Akamoku: Packed with Fucoidan, a healthy component. Also gaining attention as a superfood. Aosa: Exquisite and rich aroma. Becomes exceptionally delicious when made into tempura. Experience ②: Eating freshly harvested seaweed on the same day. The essence of the experience lies on the dining table after the harvest. The 'wakame shabu-shabu,' which turns into a translucent emerald green, is a winter specialty of Harbor House Kaname. The aroma and texture of freshly harvested seaweed are a luxury allowed only to those who visit in the cold winter. ——With 33 years' worth of gratitude This winter, enjoy this special fishing experience (approximately 60 minutes) for free, along with the usual one-night stay including two meals.

"We want you to know the true deliciousness of wakame." This is a winter-exclusive plan unique to a fisherman's inn, born from such a desire. The main feature of this plan is the 'early-harvest fresh wakame' grown in the sea right in front of you. The moment it's dipped into the hot broth in front of the guests, it transforms from brown to a vivid emerald green. This astonishing change and the 'crunchy' texture that can only be enjoyed at the production site provide an unforgettable, moving experience. Furthermore, we offer 'seasonal oysters,' currently at their plumpest, with the volume and freshness unique to a fisherman's inn. From classic vinegar oysters to gratin loved by children, and even oyster hotpot that warms to the core, we deliver a true oyster extravaganza.
