Lake Pukaki

Lake Pukaki is renowned for its pristine surroundings, and especially for its salmon raised in glacial waters, considered the best in New Zealand. Buying fresh salmon sashimi from a small shop by the lakeside and enjoying it while gazing at the lake is truly a unique experience. The freshness of the salmon in the crisp and clear September air is more satisfying than any meal at a high-end restaurant. Thanks to the 'September Travel Grant,' I could enjoy premium ingredients without worrying about the cost. If you visit Pukaki, I highly recommend trying the salmon dishes and having a simple picnic by the lake. It's a perfect healing course where you can capture beauty with your eyes and savor freshness with your taste buds.
