The Thousand-Year Sea Bream

The rainy season lingers.

One morning,

The Thousand-Year Sea Bream

appeared.

Not a fish that lives

for a thousand years—

but a story that does.

And the story begins.

A Fish with a Thousand-Year Name

Its vivid crimson color and auspicious name

have long made Sennen-dai

a symbol of rare encounters and good fortune.
