Nōri

Nōri [仔缶 のうり] is a city located in far northern Saka Prefecture. As of 2022, it had a population of around 11,000.
Nōri was one of the many fishing villages established along what is now the Saka coast starting in the early Chisō period. It was under the governance of the Kamado clan for most of its history and was one of the more significant port towns of southern Kantai Province. However, due to its isolated location on a far peninsula, Nōri failed to develop as strongly as many other neighbouring inland settlements. 
== Geography ==
Nōri is situated on the Nōri Peninsula, a wide jutting piece of land which is located north of Honnami Bay. To the east of the city lies Lake Iwami. As a result of its proximity to the sea, most of the flat land within Nōri is traditionally fertilised with seaweed, which is a unique selling point for many of its agricultural exports.
== Economy ==
Nōri is known for the production of seafood, potatoes, wheat and izan; the local Merako Brewery has been producing the liquor since 1704. The city also has three industrial parks, and a nuclear power station called the Nōri City Nuclear Plant.
