2025 Winter Special

Recommended 2025/11/11

Kesennuma is a treasure trove of gourmet food in winter!

Every year around this time of year, we hold a popularity poll for Kesennuma's two major winter ingredients, oysters and swordfish. This year, we've made it even more exciting by adding shark fin! We're holding a gourmet campaign called "Everyone's Choice Kesennuma Winter Gourmet Awards," featuring these three ingredients. Visit Kesennuma, enjoy gourmet food, and win some fantastic prizes.
We will also introduce tours where you can enjoy the "ki-arashi" (wind storms) that can only be seen in winter, experiences where you can experience fishing culture and port town culture, and accommodation plans with exclusive benefits for Kesennuma Cruise members.
Enjoy the winter in Kesennuma with Kesennuma gourmet food.

swordfish

Fatty swordfish is a signature winter delicacy in Kesennuma. It's tender whether served as steak, stewed, or fried, and its melt-in-your-mouth texture can be enjoyed as sashimi. Swordfish harmonica, which also appeared in the film "Sunset Sunrise," is a delicacy that's currently in the spotlight. It's in season from October to March, so be sure to try it while you're there!

Shark fin

Kesennuma is known for its shark fin, which is one of the best shark fin production areas in Japan. It can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, including whole simmered dishes, soups, ramen, and shark fin rice bowls. It's a luxurious and warming dish perfect for the cold winter.
