IseShimaSummit was held in ShimaCity, Mie Prefecture on May 26th and 27th, 2016! Here we will introduce the accommodations of each country's leaders, the spots they visited during the spouse program, and the meals provided.
First, what is ShimaCity, where IseShimaSummit was held? It is located in the southern part of the Shima Peninsula in Mie Prefecture, and the entire city is within Ise-Shima National Park. It is a satoumi town blessed with beautiful nature and an abundance of seafood, and has been called ``Miketsukuni,'' meaning a country that dedicated food to the imperial family and court since ancient times. The venue, Kashishima Island in ShimaCity, is the largest island in Ago Bay, known for its pearl cultivation, and is dotted with lodging facilities, leisure facilities, and pearl product shops. https://www.kankomie.or.jp/season/feature_59.html
The restaurant is proud of its traditional hospitality and seafood French cuisine, so much so that people travel from far and wide just to enjoy this French cuisine. It's a spectacular dish that you'll want to taste not just once, but over and over again (the photo is different from the one taken at the summit).
On the morning of the 26th, the place that welcomed leaders from all over the world was IseJingu (Naiku). Prime Minister Abe welcomed us in front of UjibashiBridge. I think you were able to enjoy the solemn atmosphere that can only be found at IseJingu.

On the same day, the G7 IseShimaSummit Spouses Program was held, and Prime Minister Akie Abe visited IseJingu with the spouses of representatives of Germany, Canada, and the EU. Children from local kindergartens are also welcome! Source: G7 IseShimaSummit official website
At the spouse program luncheon on the 26th, students from the food preparation department of Soka High School, which is known oka "high school student restaurant," provided hospitality including cooking! The ingredients are mainly from Mie Prefecture, and we offer menus unique to Mie Prefecture, such as steamed abalone from Shima, conger eel cast in burdock from Ise Bay, grilled KumanoJidori(TheLocalBrandChicken) in the Matsukaze style, and Shinjo Ise shrimp (boiled bowl).

In the spouse program, we visited MikimotoPearlIsland in TobaCity. Mikimoto is known around the world, but it is on Mikimoto Pearl Island that KokichiMikimoto succeeded in cultivating pearls for the first time in the world. https://www.kankomie.or.jp/spot/3180.html
After being welcomed by a local, we were given an explanation of the pearl museum and a chance to experience pearl extraction. Source: G7 IseShimaSummit official website
You can watch ama divers perform at Mikimoto Pearl Island! You can hear the ama divers in traditional white Isogi diving from the boat into the sea, catching the pearl oysters, and rising to the surface, making a whooshing sound.
Matsusaka beef, also known as ``meat art'', is recognized as the best beef cattle in Japan due to its excellent quality, traditional farming in a rich natural setting, and the introduction and management of the system. It has also received praise from around the world.
The nutrient-rich waters of Ise Bay and the Kuroshio Current grow delicious Ise shrimp. The flesh is transparent and has a firm texture. The more you chew, the more the sweetness spreads. It can be boiled, baked, or raw. It is truly the king of shrimp that can be cooked in any way.
In Mie Prefecture, the ria coast has developed mainly in the Toba and Shima regions, and the rocky reef area is a good fishing ground for abalone, and the ama fishery is practiced there.
KumanoJidori(TheLocalBrandChicken) is a chicken raised in KumanoCity City, which is a cross between the "Yakido" gamecock native to Mie Prefecture, the "Ise Akadori" branded chicken from Mie Prefecture, and the "Nagoya Cochin". The meat has a strong red color and is highly elastic, and is characterized by the richness and flavor that is typical of free-range chicken.
Many of the sakes served at the summit were made in Mie Prefecture. It was also reported that there were many inquiries about Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten's ``Saku'', which was served at the working lunch, and Ota Sake Brewery's ``Hanzo'', which was served at the working dinner. http://www.mofa.go.jp/mofaj/files/000160773.pdf (Ministry of Foreign Affairs HP PDF file)
Many types of sake were offered, including Motosaka Sake Brewery's ``Ise Nishiki'', Takijiman Sake Brewery's ``Takijiman'', and Hayakawa Sake Brewery's `` tabika''.
By the way...The temple and shrine that Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and his wife visited on the 25th, the day before the summit, is ``Aomine Shofukuji Temple'' in TobaCity. This ancient temple is located on the border of TobaCity and ShimaCity, and is known as a place of prayer for maritime security. The Mifune Festival is held every year on January 18th according to the lunar calendar, and the festival is crowded with people as dedicated big catch flags are lined up all over the place. https://www.kankomie.or.jp/spot/3047.html
There were so many foods and drinks from Mie Prefecture that we could not introduce them here, and we were able to promote them to people all over the world. There are many highlights, including IseJingu and Kashiwajima, as well as food in Mie! Please come to Mie Prefecture, the location of IseShimaSummit, which is drawing attention from all over the world.
