Yoshida Town in Shizuoka Prefecture will hold a collaboration with Nijisanji virtual liver Nanase Suzuna and recipe media Delish Kitchen. On September 9 at 20:00, a YouTube live on Suzuna's channel will present original recipes using the town's three specialty products: eel, shirasu, and negitoro. A Delish Kitchen nutritionist devised the recipes, and the stream runs from introduction to tasting. The products are also offered as furusato nozei return gifts.
Nanase Suzuna joined Nijisanji in August 2024 as a member of the unit Speciale. Her channel counts 305,000 subscribers as of August 24, 2026, and her regular weekday morning stream "Ohasuzu" and game playthroughs sit alongside cooking streams built on her stated cooking skill. The September 9 live puts that skill to work with recipes from a Delish Kitchen nutritionist, covering introduction through tasting.
Yoshida Town sits in central Shizuoka on the Oi River and Suruga Bay, with a population of 28,701 and an area of 20.73 square kilometers. The eel is raised in Oi River water, the shirasu is landed at Yoshida fishing port, and the negitoro comes from local tuna processing plants. All three are available as furusato nozei return gifts through Rakuten.
