Hokkaido Scallop Butter Soy Sauce Flavor

The product is part of the "Hokkaido" series, which focuses on Hokkaido-produced ingredients, and will be available again in 2022 to coincide with the peak season for scallop fishing in Hokkaido, following its successful appearance in the spring of 2021.

It is reported that Hokkaido scallops and butter produced in Hokkaido are used to enhance the flavor of the scallops. The packaging has been changed to blue, a color that is easy to recall at a glance to remind people of the scallop butter soy sauce flavor. The new color is a refreshing blue that evokes a spring-like seasonal feeling. It is also said to be eye-catching and easy to recognize when placed alongside the Hokkaido Rich Butter Flavor and Hokkaido Sour Cream Onion Flavor, which are also part of the Hokkaido series.
