Kakujo Fish Brings the Taste of Hokkaido to Soka
Kakujo Fish, a renowned seafood retailer under Kakujo Holdings Co., Ltd., is set to amaze seafood lovers in Soka, Japan. On June 27th and 28th, the store will feature a live seafood truck delivering fresh scallops straight from the icy waters of Hokkaido. This initiative promises not just exceptional quality but a unique experience for customers looking to savor the ocean's bounty.
The arrival of the 12-ton "Live Fish Truck" will transform the parking lot into a bustling seafood market, reminiscent of a vibrant fish market or aquarium. Families can enjoy this exciting atmosphere while shopping for freshly harvested scallops that will be sold on-site, along with grilled scallops prepared in Kakujo's kitchen truck. This two-day event guarantees quality and freshness as scallops are captured, cleaned, and transported alive, maintaining their firm texture and sweet flavor.
The Journey of Fresh Scallops
The scallops are harvested in Hokkaido and immediately washed to remove barnacles and impurities before being placed into a high-performance tank aboard the truck. The truck, a marvel of engineering, stands 4 meters tall and spans 12 meters in length. Equipped with a cooling system, it ensures the scallops remain fresh throughout their journey from Hakodate, where they embark on a ferry to Aomori, and then drive down the Tohoku Expressway to Soka. This meticulous care results in unbeatable freshness for customers.
A Special Experience for the Family
On the event days, families will find more than just fresh seafood; the sight of the gigantic Live Fish Truck will captivate children and adults alike. Gather your family for an exciting day of shopping and seafood tasting. Live cooking demonstrations will showcase how to prepare grilled scallops, providing helpful tips on how to enjoy these succulent treats.
How to Prepare Hokkaido Scallops
For those who want to try their hand at opening scallops, Kakujo Fish offers easy-to-follow instructions to ensure anyone can enjoy this delicacy. Begin by cleaning the shell with a brush to remove any residual barnacles. Next, use a knife or a specialized shellfish opener to carefully pry open the shells, keeping in mind safety precautions. Once open, these meaty scallops can be enjoyed in various ways, including grilling or steaming to enhance their natural sweetness.
Cooking Tips
- - For grilling, wrap the scallops in aluminum foil and place them on a grill. This method ensures you capture the delicious juices.
- - If you enjoy sashimi, cut the scallops vertically or horizontally to experience different textures and flavors.
- - When cooking the entrails, ensure they are heated thoroughly to enjoy their rich taste as well.
