Tempura-style Squid Tentacles

Here is the tentacles served up tempura after we ate the sashimi portion of it.

Eaing Live Yobuko Squid

Yobuko squid is famous from Saga. We found it on the menu in a restaurant in Fukuoka. It is served while the tentacles are still moving. Great texture and a rich flavor. We enjoyed it with some wasabi and soy sauce.

If you touched the skin, you could see the color change. There was a fluorescent blue and green color that reminded me of the Northern Lights.

We had this at "Waza Waza" in Fukuoka. (Hakata-ku, Hakata Eki Higashi 2-1-27)
