A delicacy that adds abalone to Hokkaido's matsumae-zuke (a pickle of kelp and dried squid). The umami is so rich it will change your impression of matsumae-zuke, and it makes plain white rice go down easily even without any other dishes. Recommended as a gift for anyone who loves a good rice accompaniment.

What Japanese buyers say

The one reviewer, who had never been impressed by matsumae-zuke (kombu and squid pickle) before, was stunned by how delicious this abalone version is and says it makes white rice disappear with no other side dish; they did give it a low value rating.
