Since Nagano prefecture is not close to the sea, it was difficult for them to get fresh seafood. This traditonal long-term preservative food called "shiomaru Ika" and cucumber in sweetened vinegar is Nagano's "soul food". The traditional refreshing taste inherited with each family is so delicious and addictive! It goes well with sake and is loved by both Nagano and Suzaka people.
