■ Umikara, the closest market to the water’s edge in Japan, was created for the future of the Takahama fishing industry

Takahama, home to Umikara, was once a thriving fishing port. However, the industry has long faced severe headwinds as catches have decreased and the fishers have aged. Umikara was born out of a desire to help the Takahama fishing industry, even if in a small way. For this event, it is offering for sale seafood caught by Takahama fishers, convenient dried products that can be easily defrosted and cooked, and King Crab, the taste of the Japan Sea in winter.

■ The best of “Made in Kyoto” products from Shoku-no-Miyako at Tango Kingdom, one of west Japan’s biggest roadside stations Shoku-no-Miyako in Tango Kingdom, one of west Japan’s biggest roadside stations, offers a wide range of products found only in the Tango region. At this event, we will be selling the Kyoto brand Kyotamba Takahara Pork shabu-shabu set, Osama sausages made of Kyotamba pork and Kotobiki salt from Kyotango, and craft beer made with 100% hops from Yosano, Tango district.

Going forward, ANA X will continue to contribute to regional revitalization by communicating the charming products of regions throughout Japan to our customers through new services in line with the times. We certainly hope you will look forward to the appealing lineups we will assemble for ANA LIVE SHOPPING too going forward. Note 1: A system in which live viewing and product purchasing are possible simultaneously.
