At New Chitose Airport, you can find a variety of products, including room temperature, chilled, and frozen items, mainly from specialty seafood stores such as Sato Suisan, Hokkaido Kitaren, and Sake no Marugame.

Scallop, crab, and sea urchin souvenirs | Fresh seafood and luxury items also chosen as gifts

These are high-end fresh seafood souvenirs that are popular as gifts, including not only boiled crab and shredded crab meat, but also fresh sea urchin that is only available during its peak season. They are sold at stores such as Hokkaido Kitaren, Umidokoro Matsuba, Shima no Hito, and Sapporo Uoichi, and are generally taken home frozen.

Snacks, delicacies, and dried food souvenirs | Dried delicacies and processed foods such as kamaboko that can be taken home at room temperature

Bite-sized and easy to eat | Temari Salmon Roe

Manufacturer: Sato Suisan Co., Ltd. / Distributor: Sato Suisan

The unique feature of "Temari Sujiko" is that the raw salmon roe is cut into bite-sized pieces before pickling. This allows the salt and seasonings to penetrate more evenly than with regular salmon roe, resulting in a milder flavor. Enjoy the popping texture and use it in various ways, such as placing it directly on warm rice or using it as a filling for rice balls. You can purchase it at "Sato Suisan" on the 2nd floor of the domestic Terminal Building at New Chitose Airport domestic flights

How to choose seafood souvenirs from Hokkaido

Finally, here are three key points to keep in mind when choosing seafood souvenirs.

Check the recommended time for the cooler bag and ice packs.

Even with a cooler bag and ice packs, seafood souvenirs that require refrigeration or freezing can only be kept cool for a limited time. Consider your flight time and travel time home, and check if you can transfer them to a refrigerated or frozen environment at home within the time indicated by the ice packs.

Choose based on whether it's frozen, refrigerated, or stored at room temperature.

Seafood souvenirs come in a variety of types, from room-temperature types that can be taken home as is, to refrigerated types that require refrigeration, and frozen types that can be transported chilled or shipped by baggage delivery. It's recommended to choose according to how you plan to take them home: "room-temperature/dried goods if you want to carry them on board as baggage," and "frozen types shipped if you want to enjoy them at home at your leisure."

Choose based on the recipient and occasion (side dish for rice, snack, gift).

Choosing a gift that suits the recipient and the occasion will make it more appreciated. For someone you want to use at their everyday meals, salmon and salmon roe are good choices as accompaniments to rice. For those who enjoy alcohol, snacks and delicacies are recommended, while for special gifts, high-end fresh seafood such as crab or sea urchin would be a good choice.

The following article introduces recommended souvenirs based on the recipient and occasion, so please refer to it as well.
