Today we went to the Katsuren Fisheries Association in order to learn about mozuku, Uruma City’s specialty food. Mr. Furugen taught us about how mozuku is grown, processed and shipped to grocery stores and other prefectures. We enjoyed tasting the mozuku and touring the facility. K2s were able to ask questions about the seaweed and were very interested to hear the answers.
