Octopus of Hinagata Island

Floating at the tip of the Chita Peninsula lies Hinagata Island, the 'Island of Octopus.' Nestled between Mikawa Bay and Ise Bay, octopus fishing has supported the island's way of life since ancient times. The shallow waters surrounding the island serve as an ideal fishing ground for octopus, where prey such as shellfish and crabs gather. The common octopus raised amidst these complex ocean currents features thick tentacles and firm flesh; the more you chew, the more the natural sweetness of the octopus and the aroma of the sea spread through your mouth. The island is also affectionately known as the 'Island of Tako (happiness) and Fugu (luck),' cherished for its auspicious reputation. Whether it is a whole boiled octopus with a single tentacle dangling, octopus rice soaked in savory broth, or smooth, easy-to-swallow octopus shabu-shabu, each dish is a fresh delicacy that can only be truly experienced on this island surrounded by the sea.
