A Hokkaido delicacy made by drying squid shiokara (salted fermented squid). The more you chew, the more umami comes out, so it is better suited as a snack with drinks than as a sweet treat. It is on the salty side, but it is also easy to buy in bulk and hand out.

What Japanese buyers say

The one reviewer, a fan of shiokara (salted squid), found this dried version very tasty, with flavor that deepens the more you chew, better as a snack with drinks than a sweet, and quite salty. It is cheap enough to buy in bulk and hand out to coworkers.
