【HOST: YASU 】 I am the 5th generation of Kanesa Katsuobusi Co. and the representative of Slow Food Mt.Fuji. I am the only remaining producer of “Shio-katsuo”, which is registered on Slow Food Ark of Taste. Shio-katsuo (Bonito preserved in salt) is salted bonito fish preserve that is the original form of Katsuobushi, which is essential ingredient of Japanese cuisine. Also, I am the only one who has the skill of the straw decoration of the fish for new year festivities. I have been actively working to promote this local food culture by educating children, developing new recipes utilizing Shio-katsuo, joining food events nationally and internationally. 【HOST: Yuka/executive director】 I'm in charge of applying for and contacting experiences. Slow food Mt.Fuji introduces the rich food culture of the area receiving the blessings of nature.
