Matsumae Castle Town Tuna Festival

Bluefin tuna cutting show and direct sales featuring premium tuna caught off Matsumae

Experience Matsumae's bluefin tuna at fisherman's prices! This autumn gourmet event is held every mid-September.
The festival's highlight is the premium bluefin tuna that's rarely available even to locals. Tuna that has braved the rough waters of the Tsugaru Strait has firm flesh and rich fat, creating an exceptionally delicious taste. In addition to the popular annual bluefin tuna cutting show and direct sales, there are also food stalls where you can enjoy Matsumae's seasonal seafood and tuna dishes.
