As a seafood lover, I purchased the most popular scallop soup for souvenirs, as well as the kelp soy sauce from the Shimbashi Fishing Cooperative and the dashi kelp from the Minami Kayabe Fishing Cooperative. I tried the kelp soy sauce from the Shimbashi Fishing Cooperative right away, and it goes well with pork shabu-shabu, sashimi, and anything else. Personally, I recommend souvenir condiments like these because you can continue to enjoy the goodness of the local area even after your trip. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I visited this shop in October 2019 to buy souvenirs. They sell fresh sea urchin, salmon roe, and dried fish. Although the sea urchin and salmon roe were quite expensive, they are not easily available on the mainland. So, I decided to splurge and purchased them, sending them via cool delivery service. I quickly made a sea urchin and salmon roe bowl at home and ate it. I had never tasted such delicious sea urchin and salmon roe before. The staff were kind and helpful, offering advice on fish selection. I highly recommend this shop for souvenirs.

I saw this shop selling fresh ikura, unlike many other places where they sell frozen ones. I brought it home with an ice pack and enjoyed it the next day on top of freshly cooked rice. It was still delicious the day after. I also bought some "salmon flakes," which were very fatty and sweet, perfect for snacking with alcohol. We also had hokke delivered to our home. It feels like we're having a Hokkaido food fair at home for a while. Thank you for the delicious meal!

■Visit Date: July 2, 2019 ■Items Received: Salmon Jerky ■MEMO I visited on July 2, 2019. It was on my way back from a business trip to Hokkaido, and I visited to buy souvenirs. A colleague at work recommended this shop, saying they have delicious dried seafood, so I decided to check it out. My wife enjoyed the salmon jerky as a snack with her drinks. It had a perfect texture and flavor, and went well with the alcohol. I also bought some hokke (Okhotsk Atka mackerel) jerky for my team at work, who enjoy drinking. They gave it a great review. It's nice to see that not only sweets, but also these kinds of items, are appreciated as gifts. It was a truly unique delicacy.

This year, the price of salmon roe soy sauce pickles is high. This time, I had some extra time before boarding the plane from New Chitose Airport to Haneda Airport, so I bought salmon roe soy sauce pickles (bottled) as a souvenir for my children at this store. The deciding factor for the purchase was being able to taste it and confirm the flavor. The taste was delicious as they used kelp soy sauce which made it smooth and tasty ^^ It was also well received by the children ^^

I bought some octopus delicacy to go with the money I received as a gift. It was like a tough version of dried salmon. I've bought from this place before but didn't review it last time. I just added a few words. It's called "Takotoba." It made me think of Takotoba made with salmon. I was curious about octopus-made Takotoba, so I decided to try it. "When you go ashore to drink sake♪ The always salty delicacy♪ But when you arrive at the northern fishing grounds♪ You find a surprisingly friendly octopus Takotoba delicacy♪ Together, we roll up the octopus♪" It melts as you chew, so you need to take your time with it. It might be stressful for impatient people. It has a nice flavor without being too salty. I really liked it. You can enjoy it endlessly with drinking, chewing, drinking, chewing, and so on. Overall rating: 3.4 Taste: 3.4 Service: 3.2 Atmosphere: 3.0 Value for money: 3.2 Drinks: - Location: New Chitose Airport Terminal Building 2F, Chitose City, Hokkaido.

At New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido, it's time to shop for souvenirs before boarding. The airport is so big and overwhelming, it's hard to know what to choose. I found something at a Hokkaido seafood shop called "Salmon Skin Karaage." Salmon skin is a favorite of mine, even better than the meat itself. Having it fried like karaage was a unique treat. For a drinking enthusiast like me who believes salmon skin is better than the meat, this was the perfect dish. I didn't hesitate to get it. When I enjoyed it as a snack for drinking back in Tokyo, the crispy texture was simply irresistible. It paired perfectly with beer, making it the ultimate snack.

To be honest, you can buy this item at other stores as well. But the service at this shop was so good that I decided to purchase it here. The crab miso (with real crab meat) costs 756 yen including tax. It's perfect as a side dish for alcohol. I think it contains various synthetic additives (see photo), but it's really delicious. Thank you for the meal!

When returning from Chitose, I always stop by here. And I always make sure to buy... Dried shishamo, 10 pieces, female. It was 1600 yen on this day. Sometimes they are fresh, sometimes frozen, so it's unclear when they are fresh. Whether it's a good deal or not is also unclear (laughs) But it's convenient so I use it. They also have a variety of other seafood available, so even if you forget to buy in town, it can be your "last resort".

Delicious

I decided to buy some dried kelp because I heard it's delicious and good for the body. Among the various options available, I found the chopped dried kelp to be the most convenient. The package instructions suggest soaking it for about 30 minutes before use, and it can be added to dishes like simmered dishes in just 15 minutes. The easiest way to enjoy it is by adding it to miso soup as much as you like. Unlike grated kelp, the chopped kelp retains its texture and provides a satisfying chewiness. It's a bit like chewing, but I found it delicious.

When I told my daughter who lives in Tokyo that we were going on a trip to Hokkaido, she requested that we buy ikura since the whole family loves it. While I usually buy it at the Sapporo outdoor market, this time we decided to visit the Hakodate morning market. In the end, we found Hokkaido Gyoren on the second floor of New Chitose Airport. They offered free samples and we decided to purchase 270g of fresh ikura instead of frozen ones, as they were more popular. The ikura seasoned with kombu soy sauce was delicious, and even our 2-year-old and 4-year-old enjoyed it.

I got the Rishiri Konbu Ramen from the Rishiri Fishery Cooperative Association at a nearby supermarket. It's a cup noodle, and it was on special for 198 yen! This is the rumored konbu ramen that everyone's talking about. I'm so happy! I decided to try it at home right away... I poured hot water and waited for 4 minutes, then added the soup and grated konbu. The noodles are slightly green due to the konbu kneaded in, and they have an incredible firmness! The texture is even better than fresh noodles. And what surprised me was the deliciousness of the soup. It's a salty soup, but it fully brings out the umami of the konbu in a light broth that I ended up finishing completely. I wish I had bought more. Thank you for the meal.

I purchased this as a souvenir during my trip to Hokkaido. It is the number one Instant Noodle in the world, as featured on the Matsuko's Unknown World SP broadcast on October 5, 2012. Matsuko-san also highly praised it. You can buy it online, but I decided to buy it in Hokkaido. It is the Rāmen with Rishiri Kombu. It is a product sold by the Rishiri Fishery Cooperative Association. There are two flavors available, salt and soy sauce, but Matsuko-san ate the salt flavor. I made it exactly as instructed on the back of the package. The package says, "Not an instant ramen," because it is actually "dried Chinese noodles," so you have to boil plenty of water and cook the noodles. So even though it is a packaged noodle, you have to cook the noodles and soup separately. First, I tried the soup... delicious! The soup has a salty taste, more like a sea flavor (laughs). It is a mellow sea ramen with the aroma of kombu. The noodles also contain Rishiri Kombu, so they have a slight green color. It feels like fresh noodles! You can really taste the umami of the kombu. The topping of grated kombu is also excellent. It is very delicious for a packaged noodle! Lastly, I recommend adding rice to the leftover soup for a delicious meal. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I took a leisurely stroll through the Center Plaza at New Chitose Airport. In front of the fish shop, there were delicious-looking fish lined up (*´▽｀*). There were mackerel, herring, saury, Pacific saury, shishamo... all of them seemed like great choices. I wanted to buy them all, but it wasn't possible (sweat). - Whole dried herring 350 yen - Male shishamo (10 pieces) 1,580 yen I reluctantly narrowed it down to two types ( ﾉД`)ｼｸｼｸ... - The whole dried herring is huge!! (￣▽￣;) Well, it's from Russia though... I grilled it on a charcoal grill♪ I kept turning it over many times and managed to cook it. The texture is chewy, with the flavor of plenty of roe, it's just amazing. - Male shishamo These are real shishamo from Hidaka. They are completely different in size and taste from the "capelin" sold in regular supermarkets. Since the eggs haven't been taken out, the flavor of the male fish is exceptional... (*´▽｀*) Honestly, it was an impulse purchase, but it was a great choice. I was able to easily enjoy the fish from the north. I would like to use it again, thank you for the meal.

The enjoyable Hokkaido-Hanshin game tour has come to an end. I usually don't buy souvenirs related to seafood, but this time I went looking for something to go with alcohol. [Location] It is located on the 2nd floor of New Chitose Airport. [Purchases] - Soy sauce-marinated salmon roe - Salted herring roe - Sashimi scallops - Miso-marinated squid [Impressions] The individual prices are relatively cheap, so you can buy a variety of items (although the quantity is small). It's great that there are many items available for tasting. Among the items I purchased this time, the miso-marinated squid was delicious. I will definitely use this shop again if I have the chance.

Here in Chitose City, inside New Chitose Airport, I visited "Hokkaido Gyoren" to pick up the "retort curry" that was requested as a souvenir. It took about a month before I could enjoy it (laughs). As always, things that have a long shelf life take a while to be revealed. This time I chose "Hokkaido Gyoren's Specialty Scallop Curry". It uses large scallops caught in Hokkaido's Funka Bay. I could confirm the presence of three whole scallops, so it's safe to say they are included. This dish has a bit of spiciness, along with the sweetness and umami of onions and scallops. Despite being a retort curry, it's quite impressive. Compared to the pork curry I recently had at another restaurant, this one has more depth and is more delicious. Therefore, we all agreed that this local retort curry comes highly recommended. Thanks for the meal!

During the third day of the New Year around 16:45, I went to a local restaurant alone for the first time and ordered the "shredded grilled salmon" dish for a total of 756 yen. The dish was well presented, tasty, and had a good portion size. Since it was a takeout order, there was no waiting time. The customer service was average, and I couldn't quite figure out the customer demographic. The parking lot was easy to access as it was a shared space with New Chitose Airport. It was easy to dine alone. I may consider returning to this restaurant in the future.

[2013.08 Let's start by tidying up seafood with shopping here] Usually I go alone to buy souvenirs for my family, but this time my family of four joined me: lol. Even though we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted, we ended up buying the following lineup: striped Hokke, salted sea urchin, smoked scallops (2 types), autumn salmon delicacies (2 types), white shrimp something, crab miso, etc. As we were enthusiastically shopping, the shop lady suddenly appeared and offered us a taste of something new, which turned out to be the highlight of our shopping trip - salted scallops! They were fresh and lacked the typical ocean smell, earning them a perfect score. In any case, when it comes to seafood at Chitose Airport, this place is the go-to for us. [2012.11 Is this the place to buy with peace of mind despite the higher prices at the airport?] When it comes to Hokkaido souvenirs, seafood cannot be left out. If you have enough time for shopping, you might consider a market or something. However, for those like me who are here on a business trip and don't have that luxury, the only option is to buy souvenirs in bulk at New Chitose Airport. While the standard priced sweets are fine, seafood can vary in freshness and quality, with prices all over the place. Even though Sato Suisan is a bit pricey, this place seems more reasonable to me. That's why I almost always buy seafood here at New Chitose Airport: lol. The must-buy items include salmon roe, available all year round, but be sure to try the new ones in autumn. Hokke, which is usually thick and recommended over the mainland's regular Hokke. Salted sea urchin, a different kind of sweetness from the disinfected uni with alum, a bit expensive but worth it if you can afford it. Smoked scallops, not the hard ones but the soft type that makes for a great appetizer. Other processed products like squid and soy sauce-marinated salmon are also worth trying. Once you start shopping, it's hard to stop, so self-control is necessary at this store: lol. And with that, this November Sapporo business trip series comes to a temporary end: lol.
