Suzu City in Ishikawa Prefecture is located at the very tip of the Noto Peninsula, which juts out almost into the center of the Sea of Japan. It's a city blessed with beautiful nature, featuring clear waters and an endless coastline. This historic region has served as an important port connecting Izumo, Sado, and Ezo since ancient times, and Jomon pottery and rice fields have been cultivated here since early times. It's said that the ancient culture of the Noto region may have originated in this city. The region's specialties include seafood such as Kanō crab and golden rock oysters, as well as matsutake mushrooms. The city also focuses on local sake brewing, and the Suzu City Sake Festival is held every year in June, where visitors can enjoy sake from all over Japan, including the city's own.
