Spear Squid

Spear squid sushi, also known as “yari ika sushi” or “yari ika nigiri,” features raw spear squid served on a small bed of rice. Spear squid has a delicate and slightly sweet flavor with a tender yet firm texture.

The taste is clean and refreshing, and the squid’s texture is often more tender compared to some other squid varieties. When prepared as sushi, it is typically sliced thinly to enhance its softness.

Spear squid sushi offers a subtle oceanic sweetness, making it a light and enjoyable option for sushi enthusiasts. The clean flavor pairs well with soy sauce and wasabi, creating a well-balanced and satisfying sushi experience.
