An offshore coverage event on April 6 at Kyoto Maizuru Kakigoya "Tsurushomaru" front parking lot (Sabaka, Maizuru City) allowed observation of the sorting and harvesting of rock oysters cultivated for 3-4 years from aquaculture rafts in Maizuru Bay. A tasting event was held on April 9 at Michi-no-Eki "Maizuru Port Tore Tore Center," where visitors sampled the freshly shipped rock oysters.
