[Murakami, Niigata] Sakenokura Eitoku is packed with a lot of attention to detail.

Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture. The specialty of Murakami City is the salty Shiohiki salmon. Shiohiki salmon is made from fresh male salmon and salt, and is prepared carefully one by one by hand in the traditional way without any preservatives or additives. I was quite surprised by the salmon hanging at the entrance of the store. It made quite an impact. It is said that the salmon was hung with its head down because they hated hanging, and that in the castle town of Murakami, even salmon could not hold their heads up high in front of the lord. It is a respect for the samurai who made a great contribution to the proliferation of salmon, and is a unique feature of the castle town of Murakami. When you enter the store, there are many products, including Shiohiki salmon. I love the salmon soaked in sake here. I especially recommend the miso flavor, and I eat it soaked in sake, or put it on crackers and eat it with cheese. I always buy it online, but I was finally able to buy it at the original place. Shiohiki salmon is a little salty, but it goes well with rice and also goes well with sake, and it is very delicious. Shiohiki salmon is full of the attention to detail of Murakami, Niigata. Please try it once. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 📍4-5 Shiomachi, Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture #besttrip2023#Niigata #Murakami #Eitoku #Salmon #Souvenir #Gourmet #Useful Travel Info #Winter Travel #Domestic Travel
