Aralenko (Shrimp, Squid, Shotturu)
This dish captures the bounties of the Akita sea in bite-sized rice crackers (arale). Akita Inafuku Rice Cake, based in Akita City, uses 100% Akita-grown glutinous rice to bake these crackers, which are seasoned with three flavors: shrimp, squid, and 'shotturu,' a traditional Akita seasoning. Shotturu is a fish sauce made by fermenting fish such as sandfish (hatahata) in salt, an indispensable flavor for Akita's hot pot dishes. Its savory umami is deeply infused into the fragrant crackers. With a crispy, light texture and a lingering seaside aroma, they are perfect with tea or as a snack with alcohol. Please enjoy the food culture of Akita by comparing the three different flavors.
