"Kameda's kaki-no-tane squid soy sauce mayo flavor"

Speaking of Hakodate, it’s “squid”! So, first of all, we picked up products related to "squid".

For alcohol lovers, we recommend the Hakodate-only Kaki-no-tane "squid soy sauce mayo flavor." Kaki-no-tane flavored with grilled squid and soy sauce mayonnaise. The aroma of squid is light and the sourness of mayo goes well with beer!

The good thing about this is that it comes in individual packages of 6g x 12 bags, so you can quickly eat the only amount you want.

Abe Shoten “Original Mori Specialty Ika Meshi”

Abe Shoten's "Ikameshi Bento", a famous ekiben in Morimachi, Hokkaido, is now available in a retort bag! Depending on the size of the squid, it contains 2-3 squid.

To eat, just warm it up in hot water or in the microwave! My recommendation is to boil it in hot water for a soft finish. It takes a little time (15 minutes) in boiling water, but I highly recommend you try it in hot water.

The sauce is added afterwards, so you can adjust it to your liking.

"Hakodate Ekiben Ika Meshi"

Among the many squid meals, my favorite is Hakodate Marunama Suisan's "Hakodate Ekiben Ika Meshi.'' Just warm it up in a hot water bath or in the microwave!

They use fresh squid and Hokkaido rice "Fukkurinko'' and "Kaze no Ko Mochi." The key points are the chewy texture of the rice and the soft texture of the squid. You can enjoy the simple taste of this dish, cooked using the traditional method.

There are many different types of "Ika Meshi'' with different flavors, so be sure to try them out and compare them.

Camembert cheese × squid
"Cheese squid"

Among the wide variety of squid snack products, Daito Foods' Cheese Squid is especially recommended.

There's plenty of camembert cheese inside the two-bite size squid. It's a simple combination, but the creaminess of camembert and the texture of squid are a perfect match. Please enjoy pairing it with white wine or beer.

This is what you want! "Hakodate Kogane"

If you're looking for Sakiika, we recommend Yamaichi Foods' Hakodate Kogane!

They use Hokkaido-grown Japanese squid with the skin on and process it without using synthetic preservatives. It is characterized by a seasoning that brings out the natural flavor of squid. The more you chew, the more the flavor of the squid spreads throughout your mouth. Once you start eating it, you won't be able to stop.
