The old Tokaido post town of Yui lands almost all of Japan’s sakura ebi (cherry shrimp), served as sweet raw bowls and crisp kakiage. A short train ride up the coast, and above the town the Satta Pass gives the classic Hiroshige view of Fuji over the bay and the highway. A foodie’s day trip for repeat visitors.
