Stretching from the top of Japan's tallest spire, Mt. Fuji, to the bottom of its deepest bay, Suruga Bay, Shizuoka Prefecture enjoys a mild climate that has earned it the moniker "kingdom of food." Boasting the largest variety of agricultural and fisheries products, the prefecture reigns supreme over all Japan. The prefecture is especially renowned for its farm products, including vegetables, fruits (mandarin oranges, melons, etc.), green tea, and wasabi, as well as marine products (Japanese spiny lobster, splendid alfonsino, sakura shrimp, whitebait, oysters, nori seaweed, farmed eels, and more) caught off the rocky shores of Izu Peninsula, Suruga Bay's deep sea waters, and Lake Hamana as well.
