Ika Sōmen (Thinly sliced raw squid)
Even with modern refrigeration, freshly caught squid is still the best!
About Ika Sōmen (Thinly sliced raw squid)
Ika sōmen is made by slicing Japanese flying squid landed in Hakodate into thin, noodle-like strips and serving it with seasoned soy sauce and condiments or noodle dipping sauce. Fresh squid has translucent flesh and a distinctly crisp, chewy texture, even when cut into noodle-like strands. Letting it rest for a day after preparation softens the texture but brings out the squid’s natural sweetness through aging.
