Japanese insight

  • The Ultimate Live Sashimi Experience: You absolutely must try the "Ikesu" (live-prepared) sashimi. This was the sweetest and most delicious squid I have ever had in my life.

  • Two Ways to Enjoy: After enjoying the sashimi, they will turn the tentacles (geso) into tempura. It is incredibly crispy and exquisite.

  • Seasonal Varieties: The type of squid depends on the season.

    • Kensaki Squid (Japanese common squid): The variety you’ll most likely find.

    • Aori Squid (Bigfin reef squid): This is the most premium variety. I was shocked by its intense sweetness.

  • The Perfect Pairing: Don't forget to order Japanese Sake to go with this ultra-fresh seafood!

Right in the heart of Yobuko, near the bustling morning market, you'll find this gem where the squid is as fresh as it gets. You can watch as your meal is prepared from the live tank, arriving at your table so fresh it's translucent and still moving. After you've savored the sweet, firm sashimi, the rest of your squid is whisked away and returned as a light and crispy tempura, a perfect two-part culinary experience.
