Shishamo (a small smelt) that is neither too firm nor too soft, with no strong fishiness, so you cannot stop reaching for more. Perfect with drinks; brought to the office, it was popular enough to disappear in no time.

What Japanese buyers say

The one reviewer bought these dried hime shishamo (small smelt) as a drinking snack on a business trip and found them neither too hard nor too soft, with no fishy taste and hard to stop eating. They bought ten more bags for home; coworkers liked them too, but they suggest they suit individual gifts best. Bought at JR Kushiro Station.
