JAL Hometown Support Team Niigata Prefecture Representative Shirase
When I joined the company, I underwent ground training and learned airport and reservation operations at the Niigata Airport Branch and the Niigata (city) Branch. I remember very well that at that time, I received a booking for a honeymoon to Singapore through JAL Pack.
After training, he began working on international flights, and his career spans more than 30 years.
The Charm of Niigata Prefecture
Niigata Prefecture's classic attractions are its rice and sake, but it also has old farmhouse communities and farmstays that make the most of nature, as well as a thriving initiative that combines SDGs with the "Crested Ibis Certification System," which uses reduced pesticide farming methods across the island to protect the Sado crested ibis, and "farming methods that nurture living creatures."
The Sado Island Gold Mine was officially nominated domestically in February for inscription on the World Heritage List in 2023.
The local souvenirs chosen by the Niigata Prefecture Hometown Support Team are...
"Salmon Shiokara" and "Salmon Shiokara with Fresh Kanzuri"
Price: 1,080 yen for 200g bottle / Sold by: Sanko
The fatty belly meat of Atlantic salmon is aged in "shiokoji," a sweetened form of carefully selected koji. The thick texture is accented with domestically produced salted salmon roe.
Salmon is deeply rooted in Niigata's food culture, and Sanko takes pride in its advanced salmon processing techniques.
Another excellent dish is "Shiokara Salmon with Raw Kanzuri," a traditional Myoko spice made by adding chili peppers, koji, yuzu, and salt and aging them.
Available for purchase at Niigata Airport, etc.
