New Kato

This souvenir shop is located in the Reibun Souvenir Center on Hokkaido's Reibun Island. They recommend their Nuka Hokke, Okhostk Atka mackerel made with just rice-bran and salt; it's sun-dried and smoked with a special method. Since its flavor is very particular, there's a mild version for the uninitiated, as well as a stronger one. There are different ways to eat it, including peeling off the husk and consuming as is or marinating it. Nuka Hokke goes well with beer. Some tourists like this traditional Reibun Island preserved food so much that they buy it as a gift or even for themselves to take home.
