Where Japanese Caviar is made — Kobayashi, Miyazaki

Japan is not well known for Caviar, the sturgeon fish are quite famous in Russia and the Caspian Sea but it was in the 1980s that Kobayashi City in Miyazaki worked with Russia to try to farm them for Caviar. Why Kobayashi? It has some of the cleanest water in the world, spring up naturally from the ground, the water filtered by the sand making it ideal for raising sturgeon known as Chouzame (蝶鮫 or チョウザメ) in Japanese. They successfully bred them to make Caviar in 2004 (平成16年) and Kibayashi is now exporting the caviar around the world. I’ll introduce you to the sturgeon and location as I scout it out for another episode. Where is this?
