The Surumail postcards are made from squid created by the Susami fishing co-operative. The recipe for this postcard is not ordinary it consists of dried surume squid that is flattened and packed into the shape of a postcard along with an adhesive label for you to write down a short message, the postage, and delivery address.
These postcards have even piqued the interest of giant corporations such as Microsoft and IBM, and may yet prove to be the savior of Japan’s ailing economy. Competitively priced below $3 a pop, these postcards can be purchased from the Susami post office and the JR Susami station in addition to the Susami fishing cooperative.
