Shishamo (Smelt)
Many of the shishamo you see in supermarkets are imported Capelin. However, true 'Hon-shishamo' can only be caught along the Pacific coast of Hokkaido. The Hidaka coast is one of the precious production areas for this authentic variety. Like salmon, Hon-shishamo are born in rivers in the spring, grow in the sea, and return to their natal rivers in the autumn to spawn. They are characterized by a plump, reddish appearance unique to this Japanese species, offering a flavor that is worlds apart from the imported varieties. When grilled, the roe-filled shishamo bursts with tiny, popping eggs and the savory umami of the fragrant flesh fills your mouth. Please come and experience the authentic taste that can only be enjoyed in its place of origin.
