Located in the northern part of Saga Prefecture, Yobuko is a small coastal town known for its beautiful sea, fresh seafood, and relaxed atmosphere. Facing the Genkai Sea, the town has long been supported by fishing, and even today, it offers visitors a glimpse into a traditional seaside lifestyle.
One of the highlights of Yobuko is its morning market, known as the Yobuko Morning Market. It is considered one of the three major morning markets in Japan. Along the narrow street by the harbor, local vendors sell freshly caught fish, dried seafood, and handmade products. Walking through the market, visitors can feel a close connection to the local people and their daily lives.
However, what truly makes Yobuko famous is its squid. Yobuko squid is known for its exceptional freshness. It is often served as “live squid sashimi,” where the squid is prepared immediately after being taken from the tank. The body remains almost transparent, and sometimes it even moves slightly on the plate. This unique presentation surprises many visitors from both Japan and abroad.
After enjoying the sashimi, the remaining parts of the squid are often cooked as tempura. This allows visitors to experience different textures and flavors from a single dish, making the meal both memorable and satisfying.
Another popular spot in Yobuko is Hado Misaki, a scenic cape where visitors can enjoy grilled seafood while looking out over the ocean. Fresh squid, turban shells, and other seafood are grilled right in front of you, creating a simple yet rich dining experience shaped by the sea.
For those who prefer a more comfortable setting, restaurants such as “Manbou” are well known for their squid dishes, including squid shumai and squid somen. These dishes offer another way to enjoy the flavors of Yobuko.
From the lively morning market to the quiet beauty of the coastline, Yobuko offers a unique combination of culture, scenery, and food. It is a place where the sea is always close, and where visitors can experience the true taste of Saga.
