Nihonbashi Suminoe COREDO Muromachi Branch

Mr. Masahiro Ito (commonly known as Ma-kun) is a highly skilled fixed-net fisherman in Kushiura, Karatsu.

Ma-kun was born into a home of fishermen in Kushiura Bay and is a trueborn fisherman who continues to work using fixed-net fishing. The one in the back is the pole-and-line fisherman, Mr. Yusuke Oda. He is a unique pole-and-line fisherman - while working as a chef, he was awakened to the charms of the fishing industry and moved to Kushiura. They are thoroughly pursuing techniques for maintaining freshness and improving taste, such as destroying the fish's spinal cord, removing its stomach, and controlling blood removal as to the species and condition of the fish. Both of them are now indispensable fishermen for the restaurant group, supplying fish daily.
