Matsumaezuke

Matsumaezuke (松前漬け) is a pickled dish native to Matsumae area of Hokkaido.

It is made from fresh ingredients of Hokkaido. Swipe surume (dried squid) and konbu with wet cloth and then cut into thin stripes with a scissor. Kazunoko should be chopped into small bits and carrot and ginger must be sliced into smaller and thinner stripes than surume or konbu. These ingredients should be mixed with sake, soy sauce and mirin that were boiled once. Several slices of red pepper may be added. This should be stored in a cool location for a week before eating.
