How We Eat Fish with Respect in Japan | Late Summer

Welcome to “Izumi in Japan” 🌿 In this video, I’m sharing a quiet late-summer outing to a river where ayu (Japanese sweetfish) are caught — a small tradition many families in Japan grew up with. We visited a riverside restaurant, watched the water flow through a traditional bamboo trap called yana, and spent a gentle afternoon together. ⏱ Video Index 00:00 – Heading to the river where ayu are caught 01:10 – A riverside restaurant serving freshly grilled ayu 05:28 – A traditional bamboo trap: yana 07:15 – Stopping by a roadside station
