Surrounded by Lake Kitaura and Lake Kasumigaura, Itako is blessed with abundant waterfront resources, and delicious tsukudani (simmered seafood and vegetables) grace dining tables. "Hashimoto" tsukudani, which preserves traditional flavors, is a familiar taste that can be found at Roadside Station Itako and supermarkets within the prefecture. Many people purchase it as a souvenir and then become repeat customers through online shopping. The most popular item is the candied smelt. With a slightly rich seasoning that brings out the natural flavor of the ingredients, it's perfect with rice. Strawberry jam and blueberry jam, made without any preservatives, are also popular products. Their handmade miso is also a special delicacy that you'll want to try at least once. Carefully grilled unagi (eel), such as kabayaki and shirayaki, are also popular.
