Kanmon Strait Octopus
When you take a bite of the well-tightened tentacles, a plump elasticity is followed by a gradual release of sweet umami. Whether as sashimi or in octopus rice—common octopus raised in the strait is exceptional. 'Kanmon Strait Octopus' is a brand name for common octopus raised in the Kanmon Strait, nestled between Shimonoseki and Kitakyushu. To avoid being swept away by the fierce tidal currents, they live clinging to rocks on the seabed, resulting in well-developed, short, and powerful tentacles. They accumulate flavor by feeding on abundant prey. Caught using traditional pot fishing methods, the name was trademarked in 2006. There are also regulations to prohibit fishing in the spring to protect juvenile octopus. A blessing from the strait that grows more flavorful the more you chew. A true delicacy unique to the Seto Inland Sea.
