saba kaido 鯖街道 makerel highway
From Obama (Wakasa, Fukui) to Kyoto, 出町柳 Demachiyanagi.
also called
Wakasa Kaido 若狭街道
Fukui is famous for the
makerel road (saba kaidoo 鯖街道、さばかいどう- saba kaido) transporting fish to Kyoto.
Therefore many simple makerel dishes have been prepared in busy fishing times.
The road leads from the port of Obama at the Bay of Wakasa to Kyoto, about 75 kilometers. The fish was salted and packed in Obama and then carried over night to the city. It was then just rightly marinated and folks waited in line to buy it.
Other routes for transporting saba are also known. Many farmers exchanged their newly harvested rice to get some fish for the autumnal autumn festival and their Saba Sushi.

Obama was also the endpoint of many ships from Asia trying to reach Japan during its long history. So embassies and their presents for the emperor and aristocrats in Kyoto also travelled along this road, the final step of any "Silk Road" through Asia or via the ocean.

Miketsukuni and Saba-kaido Road: Cultural heritages linking the Japan Sea
to Nara and Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan
The province of Wakasa was situated along the Sea of Japan's coastline in what is now Fukui Prefecture. It was referred to as miketsukuni (a region that produced food offerings for the Imperial Court) and played an important role in providing foodstuffs such as sea salt,mackerel, and other marine products to the ancient, landlocked capital of Nara and Kyoto. Wakasa's role as a source of supplying the foodstuffs led to the development of a unique culinary culture. The coastal hub of Wakasa also connected the sea trade from China and Korea to the inland trade routes.
Local ports and castle towns sprang up and flourished along this route. Traveling tradesmen brought with them festival customs, entertainments, and Buddhist culture that soon spread far and wide into rural farming areas and fishing villages. This ultimately resulted in distinct cultures and customs evolving in the different villages and hamlets. The ancient thoroughfare is now called the saba-kaido (Mackerel Road) and here visitors can experience nature, eat delicious traditional foods, attend festivals, as well as view traditional houses and roads that hearken back to the earlier days of great prosperity. ...
... Several highways which have been referred to as "Saba-kaido" in recent years connecting Wakasa Province and Kyoto played an important role not only in supplying foodstuffs but also in exchanging various goods, people, and culture. "Saba-kaido" refers to a highway supplying marine products and fish such as mackerel called "saba" in Japanese to the Imperial family and Imperial court in Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan. Cultural exchange initiated by the connection with the Imperial Court and the aristocracy in Nara and Kyoto permeated the entire civilian life both in rural farming areas and fishing villages in Wakasa Province through the interaction of people taking these Saba-kaido highways and developed into rich cultural heritages such as old temples and shrines, unique streetscapes, folk cultural assets along Saba-kadio highways of Wakasa region whose rich and diverse cultural aspects can hardly be found elsewhere in Japan.
- Starting point of Saba-kaido Road
... In the early Muromachi Period (1336-1573), early European ships carrying rare animals such as elephants and peacocks landed Obama port for the first time in Japan. It took one month for these rare animals to be delivered to Kyoto through Saba-kaido Road and this long journey to Kyoto is said to have greatly surprised people along the road.
... In the early modern age, Obama Ichiba, or Obama market, was established by Takatsugu Kyogoku,

Wakasa guji 若狭ぐじ Japanese Tilefish
kind of red seabream (amadai) 甘鯛 amadai
Salted guji has been carried to Kyoto via the Mackerel Road (saba kaidoo) together with mackerels. In the Bay of Wakasa, cold and warm currents meet and is is a rough terrain for fish, so they are fatty.
