Abashiri is the birthplace of frozen surimi! !
Alaska pollock, the raw material for kamaboko, was once Japan's number one catch. However, it loses its freshness quickly, and if it is frozen as it is, it will discolor. Therefore, in 1960, Abashiri was the first to commercialize "frozen surimi" developed at the Hokkaido Fisheries Research Institute (Abashiri City). In post-war Japan, it is counted as one of the three major food-related inventions: the electric rice cooker, instant noodles, and frozen surimi.

Nipopo
The etymology was named after the Karafuto Ainu people's ni popo (child of a small tree). People living in northern lands made wooden dolls and displayed them in their homes or carried them around as talismans to protect themselves from hunting injuries and family illnesses. In 1954, Abashiri city made a prototype and sold it among the inmates of Abashiri Prison. The material is Sophora (Paprika, leguminosae), which grows in cold climates. The material is hard and rich in fat, and the surface becomes glossy when stored for a long time. -
