The impact of the sluggish demand for eating out due to the new coronavirus is particularly large for farmed fish and high-class fish. The fair was held for the first time with the aim of re-expanding the declining consumption of the Japan Fisheries Resources Conservation Association (Tokyo), which is created by fishermen's groups and local governments.
 Held at "Hattori Nutrition College" in Shibuya Ward on February 20, three companies in Nagasaki and one company each in Kochi, Mie, Ehime, and Oita exhibited the same part. Each company presented their commitment to production. In the judging, the principal of the school, Yukio Hattori, fisheries officials, and general judges ate and compared sashimi and scored the color, texture, and taste.
Domizutani Fisheries raises about 100 grams of fry caught by fishermen in the prefecture to over 50 kilograms in a large cage with a diameter of 50 meters or more, and harvest about 12,000 fish annually. Before shipping, the company's purse seine boat gives fresh mackerel from Sukumo Bay to improve the quality, and it is said that it can be processed at the group factory in Sukumo City while maintaining its freshness.
President Kaoru Karasawa, who visited the prefectural office on March 19th, reported that "the natural power of Kochi, such as water quality and food, led to the award."

Four companies including the company are working on bluefin tuna farming in Kochi prefecture, and the annual production is about 2,000 tons, which is the third largest in Japan. President Karasawa said, "Even if the production volume does not have a strong presence, Kochi is the best in terms of quality, and the four companies want to develop together."
