Since it preys on the native Japanese crayfish, it has been designated as a specified invasive species and has been a target for eradication in Lake Akan for many years.\u003cbr\u003eHowever, despite being a nuisance in the lake, Lake Lobster has a sweetness and rich flavor similar to shrimp and crab, and the dashi (broth) extracted from its shells is exceptional. With a reverse approach, the Akan Lake Fisheries Cooperative has actively promoted Lake Lobster as a tourism resource.\u003cbr\u003eToday, Lake Lobster has become a prominent tourism resource, one of Lake Akan's leading luxury ingredients, attracting interest even from famous restaurants.\u003cbr\u003eAt the event venue, we will offer a soup where you can easily taste Lake Lobster, and for those interested, we will provide recipes for curries, pastas, and croquettes using Lake Lobster soup. We hope you will visit the venue and enjoy it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/1157\/7678\/files\/1_7441b166-8b6e-4944-bd2a-224eae550e31_480x480.png?v=1752561759\" alt=\"\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePayment Methods\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCash, PayPay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSNS Information, etc.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkan Lake Fisheries Cooperative: \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/akan-gyokyo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/akan-gyokyo.com\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHokkai Marimo Seika: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hokkai-marimoseika.jimdofree.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/hokkai-marimoseika.jimdofree.com\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAkan Forest Night Walk \"KAMUY LUMINA\": \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kamuylumina.jp\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.kamuylumina.jp\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAkan Tourism Association Town Development Promotion Organization: \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ja.kushiro-lakeakan.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/ja.kushiro-lakeakan.com\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFuture Event Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMembers of the Shinjuku Park Tower ESG Portal will receive event information as soon as dates are confirmed.\u003cbr\u003eIf you have any requests regarding events, such as \"I'd like to see an event like this,\" please submit them through the suggestion box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you haven't registered yet, please take this opportunity to do so.\u003cbr\u003eRegister \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shinjuku-parktower.easygo.eco\/account\/register\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"新宿パークタワー ESGポータル","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42658072297550,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/1157\/7678\/files\/25072425.png?v=1752735794","url":"https:\/\/shinjuku-parktower.easygo.eco\/en\/products\/7648787365966","provider":"新宿パークタワー ESGポータル","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
