Kawasaki Aquarium's first special exhibition of the shiny golden kawasui.
What kind of creature comes to mind when you think of a creature that shines in gold?
After seeing this special exhibition, you might start imagining "catfish."
From April 20, 2021 to June 30, 2021, “Golden Fish Expo ~Golden Catfish Discovered in the Tama River~” will be held at Kawasui Kawasaki Aquarium in Kawasaki City. Golden fish from all over the world are on display here, but for the first time ever, a golden catfish found in Kawasaki City is on special display.
This golden catfish was caught in the Tama River (Takatsu Ward, Kawasaki City) in June 2020. It was then donated to the Nigaryo Seseragikan and is currently on display at the Kawasui Kawasaki Aquarium. A name was solicited from the public, and the name was ``Tamadan,'' a combination of ``Tamagawa x Catfish.''
When you meet Tamazun in person, he is truly golden, just as his name suggests. When the light hits it from above, it reflects and sparkles, making it look even more golden. It is called the Yellow Varieties because it has very little pigment in its body, and is said to be rare nationwide.
What a charming tamadan
In addition to Tamazun, there are nine other types of fish on display in a special space, including ``Asian Arowana,'' ``Dorado Cat,'' and ``Golden Tetra.'' They're all really golden. The reason why they are golden varies depending on the type, such as the glow caused by microorganisms that are acquired on the body, or to make it easier to find pairs, but the reason why they are golden is that they have not yet been accurately identified, which is a mysterious phenomenon that makes them unique to living things. It arouses my interest.

The fun doesn't end even after you've finished viewing the exhibits.
First, you can make your own original tote bag in the space attached to the exhibition booth. It's also really fun to decide on your own design and color and take on the challenge of making your own one-of-a-kind tote bag.
Even adults get really addicted to this.
Furthermore, after enjoying the exhibits and making your own original bags, we recommend that you sample the limited-edition golden menu at the on-site restaurant and cafe. The menu is so extensive that you'll be spoiled for choice, including drinks, soft serve ice cream, and waffles related to the Golden Fish Expo, so it's fun to show off your photos and bags while eating the limited menu.

It's a 1-minute walk from the station and directly connected to the underground shopping mall, so you can go there without getting wet even on rainy days. In addition, we have taken strict measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, such as temperature checks at the entrance and disinfectant installed at various locations.
