Tako Shumai

"Tako-shi-umai" — This local shumai was named as a play on words meaning "The octopus landed in Shinchi town is delicious." It was created with the hope of reconstructing Tsurishihama Fishing Port, which was affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake. Since the first catch during the trial operations that began in 2012 was octopus, it was planned as a product to bring happiness (tako/tako) to the region. It is handmade one by one, using plenty of locally produced Tokiwa-mono octopus. An accomplished product that won the Grand Prix, the highest award, at the Japan Food Selection. There is also an antenna shop called "Hamafuku" in front of Shinchi Station. This is a dish filled with the concentrated umami of octopus and the heartfelt wishes for reconstruction.
