The Ainu, an indigenous people who inhabited the northern part of Japan and part of Russia, produced sacchep, made by drying salmon, as a preserved food and as a commodity from more than 500 years ago. They were deprived of freedom and the right to live in the old way for centuries, and many traditions have been lost. But the Ainu Museum has begun making salmon sacchep again, giving momentum to efforts to preserve Ainu culture.
