Mikoto-ika (Male Deity Squid)
With freshness so intense that the suckers cling to your chopsticks—that is the 'Susa Mikoto-ika' from Susa, Hagi City. Fishermen in Susa carefully catch these spear squids, raised in the rough waves of the Sea of Japan, one by one using hand-line fishing. Often referred to as the 'Queen of Squids,' the spear squid is considered the highest grade among all squid species. Its translucent flesh possesses a powerful sweetness combined with a perfect, crunchy texture. The name 'Mikoto' (Male Deity) embodies the spirit of the fishermen who are dedicated to freshness in an effort to revitalize their local community. Peak season runs from the end of the rainy season through autumn. A dish enjoyed as ikizukuri is a luxury you can only encounter at the source. Please come and savor the sweetness radiating from its transparent flesh right here in its home region.
