Best season to travel to Japan

Zazamushi in Japan 2024-2025

Most often eaten in winter, zazamushi might be the strangest dish you have ever tried!

Best time: late November–February

It is not so easy to get stonefly larvae from the Tenryu river. In order to harvest this snack, one has to be a licensed hunter which mostly takes place in winter.

The catch becomes a special delicacy boiled down with soy. It is also available canned if you fancy taking some home!
