Hard-Dried Roasted Squid Snack 2.64oz (75g)

Only the mantle of squid is used to make this snack, providing the best texture and flavor possible. This isn’t soft calamari though. This traditional Japanese snack is meant to be rock hard. That lets you enjoy it longer. It softens slowly and releases its unique umami flavor as you suck and chew on these tough jerky strands.

Want it softer faster? In Japan, many people grill it or microwave it for a few seconds to soften it up. You can also pair it with a sauce, like mayo, shichimi, and soy, to make it softer. Or you can go old school and just chew away, perhaps with a sake.

The traditional Japanese snack category known as Otsumami is sweeping the world, and you have a chance to try some today, if you are bold enough. Dried squid or calamari is just one type of Otsumami, with a satisfying chew, slight fish flavor, and easy snackability.

How do we make it? The highest quality calamari is roasted to a tough jerky consistency. It’s a nostalgic flavor deeply rooted in Japanese tradition. Give it a go!
