This time we explore the Omori area, a bayside district tucked into the southern edge of the city along Tokyo Bay. Once a thriving aquaculture hub specializing in nori, the edible seaweed, it preserves a deep connection to the ocean. James Farrer (Professor, Sophia University) visits one of the numerous local nori wholesalers, then encounters a group cultivating the crop using traditional methods. Later, he climbs to higher ground and learns about Omori's history as a tourist destination. Join us as we dive into this coastal neighborhood.
