Izumi Tako (Izumi Octopus)
Osaka Bay is known as 'Uoniba no Umi' (the sea of fish gardens) due to its abundant prey, and the common octopus raised here is the pride of Senshu, known as 'Izumi Tako.' Because they feed on a rich variety of prey such as shrimp and crab and grow in gentle currents, the meat is tender and flavorful. Registered as a regional collective trademark by the JF Osaka Federation of Fisheries Cooperative Associations, these octopuses caught off the coast of Senshu are boiled and delivered as 'Izumi Tako.' One of the techniques used is to freeze them once before boiling, which breaks down the fibers to create an even softer texture. Fishing is conducted while carefully protecting resources, such as returning any octopus under 300 grams back to the sea and refraining from fishing during spawning seasons. When you take a bite, a sophisticated sweetness unique to octopus gently follows a firm, bouncy texture. Low in fat and rich in taurine, it is a delicious and health-beneficial blessing from the sea.
