No. 1: [Shiretoko Misayemon Honpo] Salmon roe in soy sauce (80g) 3 kinds set
Order from: Shiretoko Misayemon Honpo (60 Kasuga-cho, Rausu-cho, Menashi-gun, Hokkaido)
The No. 1 ranking of delicious “salmon roe” in Hokkaido is the “3 kinds of salmon roe in soy sauce” set from Shiretoko Misayemon Honpo. It is so exquisite that we can assure you that there is no better salmon roe than this. This soy-sauce-soaked salmon roe is made in an environment where production can begin 15 minutes after the purchase of fresh salmon (roe) landed at the Shiretoko Rausu Port. The freshness of the salmon roe is outstanding because it is hand-pulled, washed, sorted, and pickled by hand on the same day. The quality of the roe is also a matter of great concern. The roe is carefully selected to ensure that the skin is neither too hard nor too soft, and each piece is then sorted using tweezers, a process that can be quite tedious. The texture of the large, uniformly-sized salmon roe is superb. The salmon roe, soy sauce, and pure rice wine are the only ingredients used to season the salmon roe, and no additives such as chemical seasonings, coloring agents, or preservatives are used. The key to the flavor comes from three carefully selected authentic soy sauces: Marushima Soy Sauce (light), Yamaki Brewery (fresh shibori-gouzo), and Marunaka Soy Sauce, each with a different color, aroma, flavor, and deliciousness. Reservations are recommended to make sure you get a chance to try it, and they usually start around September. It is the highest quality salmon roe that we can really recommend.

Order from: Yayoi Suisan (10-9 Wakamatsu-cho, Hakodate, Hokkaido)
No. 3 in the ranking of delicious salmon roe in Hokkaido is Yayoi Suisan’s “Soy Sauce Pickled Salmon Roe” and “Salt Sauce Pickled Salmon Roe”. While salmon roe sold on the market is generally seasoned and frozen, Yayoi Suisan uses a method called “fresh freezing,” in which it thaws the salmon roe without seasoning, seasoning it each time it is sold, and shipping it out. The greatest feature of this method is that the salmon roe can be enjoyed freshly prepared at any time. The salmon roe is thin-skinned, soft, and melts in the mouth, and the salmon roe used is limited to those caught off the coast of East Hokkaido. The only ingredients used in the soy sauce pickles are salmon roe, soy sauce, and kelp extract, and no sweeteners such as mirin (sweet sake), chemical seasonings, or preservatives are used. It is seasoned with a special sauce made from a custom-made soy sauce base and Rausu kelp broth. The ingredients for the “Salt Sauce” are salmon roe, salt, and kelp extract. It has a simple salty taste with the flavor of kelp and goes great with white rice. It is truly amazingly delicious, and once you get a taste of it, you may never go back to regular soy sauce marinade. Both flavors are wonderful, so please try both. I strongly recommend it.

Salmon roe and Sujiko
They are very useful for celebratory occasions and as a coloring of chirashi zushi (sushi rice with a variety of ingredients).
In Russia, “ikura” is a Russian word for “fish roe”.
In Russia, salmon roe = salmon roe regardless of the type of fish.
In Japan, however, salmon roe is mainly called “ikura”.
In contrast to musuko, which are immature and soft roe,
The eggs that have matured to the point where they are hard enough to be broken into pieces are called “ikura”.
Sujiko” is expressed by the Chinese character “sujiko”.
It refers to the roe contained in the ovary of a fish.
Salmon and trout roe are sold as sujiko, and like salmon roe, it is seasoned with salt or soy sauce.
What are the differences between the two?
The most important difference is the shape!
Whether or not they are broken up into pieces.
The degree of maturity

How to store it?
Refrigerate and eat up within 3 to 5 days after opening.

When thawing, transfer to the refrigerator and defrost slowly.
It is best to eat them within a month or so before they freeze and burn.
In order to eat it up deliciously,
We recommend refrigerating and eating them as soon as possible.
