Minamisanriku Octopus
"The Akashi of the West, the Shizugawa of the East" — in the world of octopus, there is a production area spoken of in these terms. The common octopus raised in Shizugawa Bay, Minamisanriku Town, Miyagi Prefecture, has firm flesh that releases a deep umami flavor with every bite. Shizugawa Bay is rich in seaweed, and because the octopus feed on abalone and sea urchins that grow by eating this seaweed, it is said that the taste and texture of the octopus become exceptional. The area is also blessed with an environment where octopuses can easily thrive due to the low number of natural predators like moray eels. This bountiful marine environment nurtures a flavor worthy of being compared to Akashi. Whether served as sashimi or simmered, its firm elasticity and rich sweetness are extraordinary. Fresh specimens can be found at local direct sales shops. Please, try it for yourself and experience the true quality of the brand octopus, "Shizugawa Octopus."
