It has also regularly been incorporated into school lunches. This delicacy was developed to make use of this shark culture to create products that can be easily eaten without cooking.<\/p>\r\n The\u00a0sharks are dried and processed from fresh blue sharks landed in Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture, and seasoned with Noutaka from Tanaka Sake Brewery in Joetsu and the white wine \u201cZen\u201d from Iwanohara Vineyard. \u00a0The texture is chewy but moderately moist, and people come to really love the unique taste.<\/p>\r\n The price is 660 yen including tax.\u00a0 It will go on sale from Saturday, 17th, July and will be available at Rakuten Ichiba on the Internet, as well as at local stations and souvenir corners of tourist facilities. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n New character “Sameko-chan” printed on the package<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n President Nagano said, “We would like to promote this product, which inherits the shark culture of Joetsu, to the whole country so that it will become one of our original main products.”<\/p>\r\n Nishizawa delicacy sale<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n
