Description
Experience the "Queen of Squids" – A Seasonal Delicacy from Japan.
Known in Japan as the "Queen of Squids," Shiro Ika (Swordtip Squid) is highly prized by sushi chefs and gourmet lovers for its exceptional sweetness and elegant, translucent appearance. Unlike ordinary squid, Shiro Ika offers a thick, meaty texture that remains incredibly tender.
Why Choose Our Shiro Ika?
  • Supreme Sweetness: It contains a high concentration of amino acids, giving it a rich, natural sweetness that intensifies when served as sashimi.
  • Sashimi Grade Quality: Our squid is raw fresh immediately after harvest using advanced technology to lock in the "just-caught" freshness and transparent color.
  • Versatile Culinary Ingredient: While best enjoyed raw as sashimi or sushi, it also becomes delightfully tender when lightly grilled or fried as tempura.
Product Details:
  • Scientific Name: Uroteuthis edulis
  • Origin: Japan (Sea of Japan)
  • Condition: raw fresh  (Sashimi Grade)
  • Taste Profile: Rich umami, high sweetness, and a clean finish.
  • Texture: Firm yet buttery and tender.
Serving Suggestions:
  1. Sashimi: Slice thinly and serve with a touch of soy sauce and wasabi to enjoy its natural sweetness.
  2. Squid Steak: Lightly sear the surface with butter and soy sauce for a savory treat.
  3. Tempura: Coat in a light batter for a crispy exterior and a melt-in-your-mouth interior.

  • Weight Variation: Our specialty items, such as fresh seafood and Wagyu beef, inherently vary in weight.
