Japanese Squid

Japanese squid sushi, known as “maiika sushi” or “maiika nigiri,” features raw squid served on a small bed of rice. Squid has a mild and slightly sweet flavor with a firm and chewy texture. When prepared as sushi, it may be sliced thinly to enhance its tenderness.

The taste of Japanese squid sushi is often clean, subtle, and refreshing. The texture adds a unique element to the overall sushi experience, providing a bit of resistance and a pleasant chewiness.

The delicate flavor of the squid pairs well with soy sauce and wasabi, creating a well-balanced and enjoyable sushi bite.
