Due to the effects of the new type of coronavirus, the amount of hamo caught in Kyoto’s summer season has been decreasing. The Gion Festival, also known as the “Hamo Festival,” has been partially canceled this year. It is said that hamo become better after drinking the rainy season, and hamo starts to become fatty when the rainy season ends in July. In the olden days, when there was no transportation, peddlers from Akashi Port in Hyogo Prefecture and Awaji Island would fill their baskets with seawater and bring in the fish alive. This is how the fish of Kyoto were provided for.
