Product Description
Hotaru Ika (firefly squid) is a famous delicacy from Japan's spring season, particularly from the Toyama region. These small, bite-sized squid are rich and flavorful from their liver, with a unique natural sweetness. They are perfect for sashimi, gently boiled in a soup (Hotaru Ika Suimono), or mixed with miso, wasabi, or ponzu. We source them fresh from Japan and flash-freeze them to lock in their flavor. Each pack contains 21 beautifully arranged squid, making it an ideal ingredient for Japanese restaurants and omakase chefs.

Usage
Thaw slowly in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours or in a sealed bag in cold water.
Serve as sashimi or mix with ponzu sauce, miso, or yuzu.
Plate with shiso leaves and grated daikon radish for an elegant omakase presentation.

Storage

Once thawed, use immediately within 24 hours.
Do not refreeze after thawing.
