Hokuchin Gold Surume Somen (ゴールド するめソーメン) 32g — dried squid, seasoned to draw out its umami and cut into fine, easy-to-eat strands. Hokuchin calls it a classic dagashi — the inexpensive everyday snacks Japanese shops have sold to all ages for generations — and the squid's umami spreads gently the more you chew. The maker suggests a little mayonnaise alongside it if you like. Ready to eat.
About Hokuchin
Hokuchin Co., Ltd. (株式会社ホクチン) is a Kanazawa-based (Ishikawa) maker of grilled fish, dried seafood, and chinmi snacks from Japan's Hokuriku region; its "Gold" (ゴールド) line is a range of seafood otsumami.
What "surume somen" means
Surume (するめ) is dried squid, a classic Japanese chinmi (珍味, savoury delicacy) eaten as an otsumami — the small snacks enjoyed alongside beer, sake or whisky. "Somen" borrows the name of Japan's fine wheat noodles to describe the cut: the squid is shredded into slender, noodle-like strands rather than left in wide strips.
