The opening day for sea urchin in Shimokita。Although it is called the coast of Shimokita Peninsula, it is quite wide.、There are also considerable differences in coastal environments.。pacific coast、Tsugaru Strait side、Mutsu Bay side、sandy beach、sandy rocky area、Iso、sheer cliff、rough sea、Like a calm sea。This is the sea in front of the village of Shiranuka on the Pacific coast.。A rocky environment between a sandy beach and a cliff。

The sea here is a sea where even women and children (in a physical sense) can collect sea urchins (same as in other areas, you cannot collect sea urchins without fishing rights).。It is said that there was a time in the past when it was possible to pull the hem up to the knees.。Nowadays, you probably can't harvest just by rolling up the hem.、As you can see, if it is about waist deep (about 1m)、It is still possible to collect enough。Looking out to sea、Some people do it by skin diving in wet suits.。This requires a lot of physical strength。If it is further offshore, it can be collected by boat.。

The taste of the sea urchin here is outstanding.。1 in Shimokita、The taste is second to none.。In Japan as a whole, sea urchin is more delicious in the north than in the south (and it seems to be the same around the world).、Even in Shimokita, there is a rocky environment.、There seems to be quite a bit of variation due to the influence of tides, etc.。I feel like the sea urchin from Rishiri Island tastes very similar to the one here.。Countries where people eat raw sea urchin like the Japanese、region from a global perspective、Apparently there aren't that many (see the expression "sea urchin meat")、I've heard it before、The edible part is actually the egg, not the meat.。Fertilization begins around the time of Obon.、Milk-like sperm can be seen inside the shell.。From the perspective of resource conservation、Lifting the ban on collecting at this time will cause problems in the future.)。

How to eat it other than raw food、In other countries, it is baked、make it a sauce、It seems to be mixed into dough and eaten like bread or cake.。Sea urchin is used as a base, and abalone, scallops, etc. are placed in thick 10-year-old scallops.、``Miso Kayaki'', which is made with miso-flavored eggs, is definitely worth a try.。Worldwide, the number of people who eat sea urchin seems to be quite small.、From a sea urchin lover's point of view、I'd be grateful if it didn't become too popular.。like bluefin tuna、If demand increases、I'm sure I won't be able to eat it eventually.。

Sea urchins are omnivorous、Apparently they eat not only seaweed but also dead fish and other fish.。However, basically, sea urchins cannot grow without abundant seaweed.。Abundant seaweed cannot grow without clean sea.。In other words, improving the natural environment of the sea、(Of course) This means that you can eat safe and delicious sea urchin.。

A caterpillar is in front of me、I am crossing a concrete road about 2.5 meters wide.。Quite a rush? is。Of course that is too、A jet-black caterpillar is crossing the white road surface, almost defenseless.。Assuming that the body length of an insect is approximately 5 cm, it is converted to a human length.、Since it is 50 times your height, it becomes 1.7m x 50 = 85m.。For example, crossing the road in full view of natural enemies、Is it like swimming 85 meters across a sea full of great white sharks?。

There was a hairly catarpillar on the road. He just crossed the road about 2.5meters wide rapidly. Of course that was too risky way for him of its natural enemy like a bird. It was so distinguishded a black body on white concrete. If his height convert into a human, 2.5 meters will be 85 meters long. This crossing road was like swim across the sea acting great white shark for 85 meters, I wander.

There are grasses and trees on the side where the caterpillar originally lived.、Looks like a similar environment。cross the road at risk、what kind of need is there?。There can be no such thing as a noble will.。But it's true that something made him (or her?) do what he did.。what makes it so、If you just say it's instinct, it's useless.。

On the side he had been was similar environment to the other, there’s a lot of trees and weed both. Why he wanted across the road ? What was necessity for him there? It is impossible that they have a free will. Although something mede him to do that is fact. What is it?

According to recent brain science、There is also such a thing as the will of us humans.、It's actually very uncertain、0.5 seconds before you are conscious of doing ○○, your brain has already made a decision.、It seems that the "will" is nothing more than an illusion of confirmation (one popular theory)。If you think about it that way, humans don't have anything as noble as will.、I guess it's no different than a caterpillar crossing the road.。

According to latest brain science, our human’s free will is doubtful actually. Our brain already decide everything before to be concious ourself less than 0.5 second. Our poor conciousness have an illusion that we identify ratification with our free will. So that means a catarpillar as same as human from the viewpoint of have not a will either.

The important thing here is "experience"。based on experience、a certain "feeling"。That is for living things、In other words, it seems to have an important meaning for us as well.。

An experience is important at end. The sense of sort that based on experiences, it looks important for every creature include of us.
