Sea Bream Spectacular Tour
Swim with, learn about, and eat Japan’s luckiest fish
The sea bream (tai) occupies a special place in Japanese culture. A delicious red-tinged fish, it appears in the country’s creation myths, features in many folk tales as a symbol of good luck, and is eaten especially on joyous occasions. This adventure-filled tour lets you get up close and personal with hundreds of glittering sea bream—by swimming with them at an eco-friendly fish farm!
The experience takes place at a fishing village in the town of Minami-Ise, where upon arrival you’ll immediately come face to face with a plump, freshly caught sea bream. You’ll get to form a salt crust for the fish, which will be baked while you’re out at sea.
Then it’ll be time to change into a wetsuit and hop onto a fishing boat that’ll take you across the beautiful bay, past little pearl farming and fishing huts to a net pen housing the sea bream. Hop in and you’ll find yourself swimming and diving in the midst of the school, getting a feel for the life of a fish while being caressed by the wind and waves.
Once back on shore, lunch awaits—of course in the form of sea bream, salt-baked to juicy perfection and served with rice, miso soup, and pickles.
