Shiretoko souvenir

Hello! This is Tsuyama, writer of Shiretoko Dai-ichi Hotel.

What kind of souvenir would you like to buy when you come to Shiretoko? In Shiretoko, there are not only souvenirs of fresh seafood from Okhotsk, but also souvenirs made from wheat and fruits from Shiretoko, which is also World Heritage!

Also, in 2015, a character "Toko Shiretoko" inspired by an animal brown bear representing Shiretoko was born from Shari-cho, where the Shiretoko Dai-ichi Hotel is located. Since its appearance, many goods have been sold as souvenirs and have become very popular!

However, large Shiretoko, what kind of souvenirs are available and where can I buy them? I think there are some questions. Therefore, in this blog, we introduced 11 kinds of Shiretoko souvenirs recommended by Shiretoko Dai-ichi Hotel staff, as well as information on where they sell and prices!

I want to buy souvenirs and memorable souvenirs that everyone will enjoy, a precious trip to Shiretoko! If so, please refer to this blog.

1. Shiretoko souvenir of marine products

Speaking of Shiretoko, it's a marine product first! "Kani" and "Salmon" landed in Utoro can be eaten locally, but it is also the best souvenir!

Actually, this is the only story here, in 1972, at the specialty store "Kajiwara Fresh Fish Store", which first started selling marine products in Utoro, you have your own crab boiled just before shipping, and you can ship it to your home without freezing it.

The price is market value, but hair crabs are about 10,000 yen for a set of about 600 g2, and taraba crabs are about 5,000 yen for 1 kg. By the way, hair crabs can be eaten at the restaurant of Shiretoko Dai-ichi Hotel for now! (However, advance reservation required)

In addition, "Marua Nojiri Shobu Shoten" sells salmon and mackerel "Sazanami Salmon" made using Okhotsk salmon from Shiretoko! The more you chew, the more salmon flavor overflows, and it is perfect for the sake tidbits.

The price is 190g 1,480 yen, and you can ship it, but the shipping cost is about the same as the main unit. So when you visit Shiretoko, it is a dish that you definitely want to buy at once.

Finally, if you want an unusual seafood, we recommend "Shiretoko Chep Manju" from "Marmiya Omiya Shoten". Chep is "salmon" in Ainu language, meaning salmon bun.

It is a unique dish unique to Shiretoko, which uses local wheat from Shari-cho and wraps chan-chan-yaki of a chep (autumn salmon) caught in Utoro. The individually packaged Chep Manju is affordable at 324 yen each, so it is perfect for souvenirs for friends!

2. Shiretoko souvenir of processed venison

Next, it is a "venison processed product" recommended for those who are looking for rare souvenirs! Even if you are not good at gamers, Shiretoko's venison is properly processed by a specialist and has a taste that is easy for anyone to eat.

In Shiretoko since 1985, due to protection policies and changes to the habitat, wild Hokkaido Sika Deer rapidly increased and forest damage began. Therefore, venison processed products were developed to coexist with the wild Hokkaido Sika Deer.

The venison is rich in linoleic acid and DHA that cleans blood, and the fat content is one tenth of beef and the meat is perfect for women. Here, we will introduce the "venison jerky" manufactured by Utopia Shiretoko.

The more you chew the venison jerky, the more you chew, the more you enjoy the taste of the ingredients, so it is perfect for sake tidbits. One bag costs 540 yen and can be purchased at Utoro Sirietok in roadside rest area.

In addition to venison jerky, Utopia Shiretoko sells a lot of products manufactured in Shiretoko called the TOTTAN series, such as scallops and salmon chips! It is also recommended to compare the taste.
