Last time, I stopped by on my way back from my trip to Wakkanai without knowing it was their regular closing day on Wednesdays, which was disappointing. This time, I visited to purchase gift items, mainly "kombu with eggs" which can also be used as sushi toppings. Unlike online sales, you can freely combine items like Kazuchi and Hotachi in a Smile Gift Box. I bought them as gifts as they are light and easy to give to guests from out of town. Buying Kazuchi at the direct sales store was cheaper than purchasing it outside the city, and I also got gift items at a good deal. On the day of my visit, they were having a customer appreciation day where you could participate in a lottery for ¥500. I didn't win anything, but I received Hotachi (¥540) and Kazuchi Pretzel (¥250). I also bought a pack of 20 slightly imperfect Kazuchi for ¥600, which is perfect for snacking at home. I definitely want to visit this shop again on the next customer appreciation day.

【20230117 Visit】I found a unique snack at the Rumoi Tourist Information Center's souvenir shop. It's smoked cheese with herring roe, a specialty of Rumoi, the top landing port in Japan. You can tell it's delicious even without trying it. As expected, when I tasted it at the rest area of the roadside station, it was unexpectedly tasty, so I ended up eating it all (；・∀・) Later, I found out that there was a direct sales store near the roadside station, so I went to see if there was anything else good to buy. I couldn't find Kazuchi, so I bought pretzels in Kazuchi flavor. I really wanted to buy herring roe, but I'm on a train journey... ・Kazuchi (7 pieces) ¥430 *Purchased with PayPay at a local souvenir shop ・Kazuchi Pretzel Black Pepper 5-piece value pack ¥950 *Purchased with a credit card at the direct sales store

A few years ago, Kazuchi was featured in various media outlets, including Matsuko-san, and it was constantly sold out. Now, it seems that you can even buy Kazuchi at convenience stores. Kazuchi and Hotachi, made with scallops, cost 500 yen, while the new Ebichi, made with shrimp, is a bit cheaper at 450 yen. Each pack contains 7 pieces, but they are likely to disappear quickly. I took a bite and found the rich cheese flavor with a hint of shrimp to be quite nice. This is the type of snack that goes well with beer or red wine. Is Kazuchi still the best in terms of texture and overall quality? Next, I'll try Hotachi! Thank you for the meal~♪

I saw a sign at the Caldi store asking "How many can one person buy?" so I decided to purchase it to see why it's so popular. I bought the following item (excluding tax): - Kazuchi 430 yen I tried it at home and it had a nice crunchy texture with plenty of mentaiko, making it very delicious and perfect as a snack with beer or sake! It's not often found in stores, but I occasionally come across it, similar to the mini Hokkaido festival lineup at supermarkets. I also compared it to Hanabatake Bokujo's version. I preferred the cheese from Hanabatake Bokujo, but Kazuchi had more mentaiko in it. I would definitely buy it again if I see it.

I often see Inohara Suisan's "Kazuchi" featured on TV. It is a popular item at high-end clubs in Ginza. It took me 2 months to finally get it as it was always sold out. It is a bit pricey now, at 500 yen for a pack of 7 pieces. Inside the cheese, there is plenty of smoked cod roe. It has a strong cod roe flavor, which pairs well with the rich processed cheese taste. It is definitely a great snack to go with drinks, as it has a rich flavor. It's best to enjoy it slowly with a drink. It was worth the wait, as it has a unique taste. Just be cautious of the high price due to its popularity.

I was able to get my hands on that rumored "Kazuchi"~♪ It has been selling out since it was featured on a popular TV show! I saw it on a different show the other day too. It seems like this hard-to-get item has become more accessible now. It's a snack of herring roe and cheese created by Izumi Suisan, a shop in Rumoi. "Kazuchi" costs 486 yen and comes with 7 pieces in a pack. The bite-sized processed cheese is packed with herring roe. The smoky flavor and crunchy texture are really good! This is addictive! Perfect for beer snacks~♪ But there are only 7 pieces, so you have to savor them carefully... Oops, I realized after eating 4 pieces in a row...

I heard from someone that due to comments made by Matsuko and others on TV, there is a shortage of a certain product. People from Honshu are asking for it but can't find it. Even famous department stores are sold out. However, I heard that it is being sold at a certain famous department store in Susukino. Although it was not in the expected section, I was able to get it. It's called "Kazunoko Cheese" and it's rich and delicious. It's addictive, but there are only 7-8 pieces in a bag so it disappears quickly. If you don't like the popping texture of kazunoko, you might not enjoy it. Thank you for the meal.

The Kazuchi was delicious. I bought it as a souvenir during my business trip to Shibetsu Town at Kushiro Airport. It cost 500 yen. I enjoyed the limited edition Black Nikka Highball, perfect for drinking with alcohol. It made me pleasantly tipsy at the airport.

In October in Tokyo, my wife brought back a souvenir from Hokkaido and we all enjoyed it as a snack. It's from Ibara Suisan in Rumoi. It's shaped like a Kazu cheese coin, with salmon roe scattered throughout. When you bite into it, you get a smoky flavor, rich cheese taste, and the popping texture of the salmon roe. It's seriously delicious. The company specializes in salmon roe, and this snack they created is amazing. The combination of traditional salmon roe and smoked flavor is top-notch. It's so good that we finished it in no time. I think it's because a traditional salmon roe shop made it, the tuning is perfect. This snack is a work of art. It's available on Amazon, and I think it will become very popular. I see a lot of food products in my line of work, but this one is truly outstanding. The company's website also shows their high level of consciousness. I would love to visit the company, hear about their ideas, and the story behind the product. Thank you for the delicious treat.

When it gets hot, my symptoms worsen, as I have a designated rare disease by the government. There is still no cure for my rare disease, but I temporarily improve when I receive "blood products" for 5 consecutive days. I was hospitalized 5 times last year for treatment of my rare disease. I was hospitalized for the second time this year on April 4th, but was discharged 73 days ago. I have made a reservation for my third hospitalization this year due to worsening health, and will be admitted as soon as a ward is available. Your supportive comments are always a source of encouragement for me during my hospital stays. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Moving forward, I plan to mainly post reviews of past visits that have not been reviewed yet. I will limit new visits based on my health condition. This is my second review, so I will briefly introduce "Ihara Suisan," a company based in Rumoi City in northern Hokkaido. Their popular product "Kazuchi" has been featured in the media frequently. It used to be difficult to obtain due to limited stock, but it has become more available recently. I happened to see it being sold at my regular supermarket. I bought it as a snack to go with lemon sour. ■ Kazuchi 1 bag 7 pieces Actual measurement 1 piece 4g (excluding the outer bag) Base is processed cheese with smoked smelt roe providing a nice texture Price: 580 yen (tax included) Both smoked smelt roe and processed cheese are great accompaniments to alcohol. Kazuchi is a golden collaboration of these two ingredients. It promises deliciousness and is a perfect snack. I think Kazuchi is a good "Hokkaido product." I want to enjoy my evening drink before being hospitalized. (laughs) Next time, I wonder where I can buy Kazuchi. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Hello, I'm Chi, a reviewer in the "Other" category! I saw MYF's review and went to check it out. It turns out they are from the same company as Kazuchi. "Hotachi" is a great snack because the flavor seeps out as you chew on the scallop. It's a bit pricey since there are only 7 pieces in a pack, but it's worth it!

I purchased this snack at a convenience store in Rumoi City. When I stopped by the Michi-no-Eki Rumoi, I noticed a smoked kazunoko and cheese combination called Kazuchii being sold as a souvenir in Rumoi. I don't usually buy souvenirs, so I skipped it. Later, I found the same product at a convenience store in the city and decided to buy it as a snack to go with alcohol. I thought it was Glico's Pretz, but it was actually sold by Ihara Suisan, a company known for kazunoko. The taste was cheesy with a strong cheese flavor. The kazunoko seemed to be of lower quality. It was delicious. Surprisingly, there was no information about the manufacturer on the box, but the shape of the box resembled Pretz. The back of the box read, "Kazuchii has become Pretzel." Kazuchii is a combination of kazunoko and cheese. The ingredients include flour, shortening, corn grits, sugar, starch, margarine, salt, wheat gluten, seasoned herring roe, processed cheese, creaming powder, cheese powder, soy sauce powder, bonito dashi, yeast, yeast extract, fish sauce powder, kelp extract powder, gelatin, seasoning (amino acids, etc.), sodium phosphate, flavoring, leavening agent, silica, trehalose, acidulant, sorbitol, carotene color, (contains wheat, milk, gelatin, and soy in some parts). Each box contains 45g (2 bags of 22.5g each) and should be stored away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. Sold by Ihara Suisan Co., Ltd., located at 1-24 Funamachi 1-chome, Rumoi City, Hokkaido 077-0005.

Since then, Kazuchi has come to Tokyo many times! No matter how many times I repeat, it's always delicious, and it disappears quickly... Those days, I found "Hotachi" made with my favorite scallops. I have to buy this, I have to eat it! It's true that there are only 7 pieces in one bag, but the texture of the scallop and the packed umami spread as you chew. It's a taste that makes you want to keep chewing forever. It was delicious. I'll buy it again. Thank you for the meal.

Kazuchi's sister product, Kazuchi Pretzel, is well-known and delicious. When I was feeling unwell from food poisoning, my daughter brought me some to eat. It's a good snack for when you don't feel like eating much. The taste is also delicious. Of course, I also like the classic Kazuchi, Ebichii, and Hotachii.

I bought one more snack along with Jagapokkuru, which is Kazuchi Pretzel. It is made by Ihara Suisan in Rumoi City, Hokkaido, a famous company known for making kazunoko (herring roe). Rumoi used to prosper from herring fishing and coal mining, but when I visited before, there was no trace of its past glory. Kazuchi Pretzel is a snack made by mixing cheese with kazunoko and shaping it into a pretzel. It's perfect for enjoying with beer as a snack. It tastes really good, with a strong cheese flavor and just the right amount of saltiness. I highly recommend it.

On December 20, 2021 (Monday), I received the Kazucchi from Iihara Suisan that I had ordered as a New Year's holiday snack. The last time I ordered was in June, and this time it arrived for the New Year. I ordered "Kazucchi 10 bags" and "Nuruchi 3 bottles" from Iihara Suisan Co., Ltd. Kazucchi is a snack for alcohol, but this time I also purchased Nuruchi for the first time. Each bag of Kazucchi cost 498 yen, and each bottle of Nuruchi cost 730 yen. My usual breakfast consists of bread with margarine, cheese, lettuce, or jam, but I sometimes get tired of it. Trying something different for breakfast, like spreading Nuruchi on bread, was delicious. It's nice to order and enjoy Kazucchi every year-end.

I was eating "Kazuchi Pretzel" from Kazuchi of Ihara Suisan, which I received in the evening of September 28, 2021 (Tuesday). "Kazuchi Pretzel" is a German-origin baked pastry bread sold by Kazuchi of Ihara Suisan. It resembles Pretzel, a German-origin baked pastry bread. In Japan, the representative one is Glico's Tomato Pretz. It looks similar to Pretz but the taste is Kazuchi. It goes well with alcohol. I came to know about Kazuchi from a TV show, and then I purchased it directly from "Kazuchi.com" in June and it was delivered by Sagawa's cool delivery service. I also recently purchased Kazuchi and the paste-like "Nuruchi" in a bottle, which will arrive by the end of the year. I also enjoyed drinking sake with Kazuchi on New Year's.

On a holiday afternoon, I purchased this product at the Seijo Ishii Ofuna Lumine Wing store in Kamakura City Ofuna. With the limited edition sign for one per person and a POP, I couldn't resist buying it. I tried it at home and it was delicious. My family said that the "Kazuchi" product, which is a combination of salmon roe and cheese, is already well-known. The product I bought today, Ebi Cheese for 399 yen (excluding tax), stands out for its delicious shrimp flavor. It's simple, just shrimp and cheese. It's really tasty. I would definitely buy it again if it's available next time I visit. That's the kind of product it is.

I received this from a friend. It's cheese with kazunoko (herring roe) inside. It's a bit oily, but it goes well with alcohol. It pairs nicely with wine, but I think it would also go well with sake. So, probably shochu would be fine too. Definitely a great accompaniment to alcohol.

I watched a TV program that introduced "unbreakable stores" a few times ago, and there was a popular dry goods specialty store in Ginza, the only one in the area - Kazuchii from Inohara Suisan. I found their online sales page called Kazuchii.com and decided to order from there considering the price was cheaper even with shipping. The package arrived from Hokkaido Ishikari, and it was a set of 10 bags of Kazuchii with free shipping. The Kazuchii is a combination of cheese and crunchy herring roe, providing a new and interesting snack experience. It goes well with beer or other alcoholic drinks and would be popular in high-end clubs and bars in Ginza. I also ordered the "Original Tiramisu Chocolate" from Amazon to bring to my workplace as a treat. The feedback was good. The price for the Kazuchii set was ¥4,980 including tax, and each bag costs around ¥498, making it about ¥71 per piece. It's a great snack for drinking at home, and I'm thinking of ordering it again for the year-end.
