About Mihonoseki grilled squid

The specialty “Mihonoseki Squid Yaki” from Mihonoseki-cho, Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture, is a superb dish made by savorily grilling fresh squid from the Sea of Japan over charcoal and finished with a special soy sauce sauce. After visiting Miho Shrine or when visiting Gohonmatsu Park in Seki, they are invited by the appetizing scent wafting from seaside food stalls, and many people enjoy this flavor.

Mihonoseki's grilled squid uses thick, soft squid that has been caught locally and carefully grilled over charcoal. Freshly baked squid is fragrant on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the umami of the sea spreads as you chew it. The special sweet soy sauce sauce enhances the flavor of the squid even more and attracts visitors.

Squid is a high-protein, low-fat food, and is rich in taurine and vitamin E. These nutrients are said to be useful for maintaining health, such as recovering from fatigue, normalizing blood pressure, and having antioxidant effects.

Mihonoseki grilled squid is a soul food that has been loved by locals and tourists for many years. At food stalls around Miho Shrine, you can see the scene of sun-dried squid fluttering in the wind at the storefront on a daily basis, and you can enjoy freshly grilled food on the spot. Also, in recent years, purchase prices have soared due to a decrease in squid catches, but local stores are continuing efforts to offer them at reasonable prices.

When you visit Mihonoseki, be sure to enjoy these traditional flavors and experience the local culture and history.
