Ika Senbei Karaage (Fried Squid Crackers)

The more you chew, the more the savory umami of the squid spreads. This is a seafood cracker prepared with the expertise of fishermen. It is produced by Echizen Seafood Club, founded by fishermen in Fukui. Fresh squid is seasoned with a secret marinade and pressed between cracker dough before being grilled. Using a unique method, it is slowly dried for an entire day and then deep-fried to a crisp finish. A key feature is the use of not just the meat, but even the crunchy cartilage. The fragrant aroma of soy sauce and the scent of the sea bring the blue waters of Echizen back to life with a single bite. It offers a profound flavor where the squid's umami gradually seeps out as you chew. This addictive cracker is perfect both as an accompaniment to tea or as a snack with alcohol.
