Tako Shumai (Octopus Dumplings)
‘Tako Shumai’ is a new specialty of the Soma region, made using ‘Tokiwa-mono’ (locally caught) octopus landed in the towns of Shinchi and Soma. Because octopus was the first catch during the experimental fishing operations following the Great East Japan Earthquake, this dish was created with prayers for reconstruction. It features local octopus combined with domestic cod surimi and onions, all wrapped in a soft skin. The flavor, packed with the savory umami and bouncy texture of the octopus, has gained great popularity and has won numerous awards at shumai competitions. A convenient feature is that it can be easily warmed in a microwave. It is a new taste of Soma, filled with the blessings of the sea and the wishes of the port town. It can also be enjoyed via mail order.
