Pursue the Finest Oma Tuna, AKA the "Black Diamond"! Try Single-Line Fishing for Some of Japan's Finest Oma Tuna.
Oma tuna is jet-black, can grow up to 3 meters long and weigh up to 400 kilograms, and is a top-grade fish that is also known as the "black diamond." The area around Tsugaru Strait passes by Oma in the northernmost point of Honshu and is a treasure trove of high-quality saury, mackerel, squid, and other seafood. The Oma tuna, which thrive on eating these sea creatures, are considered to be the best tuna in all of Japan. In fact, at the first auction at the Tsukiji market in 2019, Oma tuna fetched a record price of 333.6 million yen!
In this single-line fishing experience, participants can try their hand at actual tuna fishing under the guidance of real Oma fishermen. This is no ordinary sightseeing experience—here you will have the chance to reel in the miraculous Oma tuna with your very own hands! But remember, whether or not you actually catch any Oma tuna all comes down to luck. Fishing enthusiasts and beginners are welcome, as you will be fully guided on the best ways to fish.
You will also learn how to cut up the tuna before having the opportunity to eat what you just caught. You will be taught in the unique local fashion—a truly high-end and authentic Japanese food experience.
In case of rain, the fishing tour will instead consist of a visit to observe the landing and packing of tuna. You can still enjoy various enriching activities to get the full experience of tuna in Oma.
An interpreter guide will accompany you on this tour. A private cab can be used for transportation from the meeting point.
This tour is only available in Oma, a mecca for tuna fishing. Experience the miracle of catching tuna in Oma together with us. -
