While people often wonder, âAre squids actually delicious?â, they are incredibly loved in Japan.
Not to mention as a sushi topping, even when dried, the squid's rich and flavorful taste does not decline, making it delicious whether turned into a snack or an accompaniment to alcohol!
Let's introduce 5 popular squid snacks that have been familiar to Japanese people since long ago and are still loved in the modern day!
âSquid flavor Cracker

Kneading dried squid into a rice cracker and baking it super thinly results in this squid rice cracker! Because it's a masterpiece where you can fully savor the original savoriness and taste of squid, it's also popular as a local specialty product!

The squid cracker introduced this time is a rice cracker where, in addition to the original savoriness of squid, shrimp is also kneaded into the dough, and a sweet and savory soy sauce tare is coated onto the surface! Since its crispy texture and delicious flavor are loved across a wide range of ages, if you are wondering, 'Just what kind of squid snacks are out there?', let's try eating this one first!
âWhole Squid Fries

While rice crackers are popular and standard as a snack, these squid fries are also quite popular as an accompaniment to alcohol! A delicious masterpiece that is fragrantly and crisply fried, yet without the squid flavor being impaired!

What I'm introducing this time is a snack that gathers fries that broke or ended up with poor shapes during the process of making those squid fries into a value pack! Because they broke, only the appearance is poor, but they are large and the flavor is properly infused, making it a snack overflowing with a sense of value where the benefits outweigh the drawbacks! Of course, it pairs perfectly with alcohol, which is why it's highly popular~!
âIka Senbei Grilled Squid - Soy Sauce

I introduced a squid rice cracker earlier, but this time I'll introduce a squid rice cracker with a seasoning perfect as an accompaniment to alcohol!

A flavor-rich masterpiece where the squid meat is thoroughly grilled and seasoned with a secret savory sauce! It has a reputation that the alcohol you drink with one hand holding this rice cracker infused heavily with this flavor is delicious... The fact that it pairs well with various types of alcohol besides Japanese sake is also a highly rated point!
âMentaiko Squid Legs

The appearance is far too unchanged. However, it is delicious, precisely in this form! Snacks of the squid leg type feature a plump elasticity, giving them a satisfying chewiness!

This time, it is heavily seasoned with spicy cod roe (mentaiko) to match as an accompaniment to alcohol, letting you enjoy the texture of plump squid legs with a satisfying chew! While the appearance is exactly as it is and looks a bit creepy at first glance, it is super delicious, so it's highly recommended!
âUmaika Squid Tempura Snack - Juicy Squid

To introduce at the very end, for those who wish, 'I want to eat squid deliciously with a crunchy texture just like potato chips!', I'll introduce a delicious snack-type squid treat that fulfills that wish!

It comes in a stick type, but because it is fried crisply, a crunchy texture is its defining feature! Precisely because it is simple, it is a representative masterpiece of popular squid snacks where you can firmly experience the savoriness of squid!
