A Fishmonger's Tour

The story follows Tasuke, a fishmonger whose business suffers due to a dramatic decrease in sea bream supply, leading to inflated prices. Unable to face his customers, he decides to take a trip to celebrate his first wedding anniversary with his wife, Onaka. During their stay at an inn, they encounter dishes featuring sea bream at remarkably low prices, prompting Tasuke to investigate the local fishing village.

As he delves deeper, Tasuke uncovers that a wealthy merchant is obstructing fish shipments, revealing the tensions surrounding the local fishing economy. A Fishmonger's Tour not only explores personal and professional struggles but also reflects larger societal issues through its jidaigeki lens. With a runtime of 85 minutes, this film is a notable entry in the Isshin Tasuke collection and showcases the work of prominent actors like Kinnosuke Nakamura and Ryūnosuke Tsukigata.
