Squid from Nishinoshima
Squid raised by the rough waves of the Sea of Japan have firm, sweet flesh. It is a prideful seafood delicacy of Nishinoshima. The waters around Oki Nishinoshima are an excellent fishing ground where warm and cold currents meet. Among them, Bigfin Reef Squid (Kensaki-ika) is renowned for its translucent flesh and rich, sticky sweetness, highly prized by sushi restaurants and gourmets alike. The peak season is from early summer to autumn, when the thickness of the flesh and its sweetness are at their utmost. When enjoyed as sashimi, a melting sweetness and texture spread throughout your mouth. When prepared as overnight dried squid (ichiyaboshi), the umami becomes concentrated, offering a different kind of deliciousness. Being able to taste freshly caught squid at the port is a luxury unique to this production area. This is truly a squid born from the unique seas of Oki, shaped by the rough waves.
