[ Taste: 5.0 Value: 4.0 Volume: 3.0 Design: 3.0 Portability: 5.0 Shelf life: 5.0 ]

A snack made from Hokkaido scallop mantle (the frilly edge of the scallop) that has been dried and seasoned sweet and savory. The sweet-salty flavor and faint aroma of the sea whet the appetite, making it a moreish companion to beer.

What Japanese buyers say

The one reviewer describes dried Hokkaido scallop frills seasoned sweet-salty, with a faint sea aroma and an addictive texture. They say it goes well with beer and keeps you reaching for more. Bought at the Kakizaki shop in Yoichi.
