A must order whenever you're at an Izakaya is grilled ika aka squid. Himonoya uses Himano squid, which comes from Iwate prefecture, which is situated along the coastline.

This is probably the best grilled squid I've had anywhere so far within Singapore. The tenderness of the perfectly sliced squid tastes so good on its own. It doesn't have the chewiness that some other places does which really shows the skills the kitchen team has in handling this dish. It also comes with 3 different dips for you to enjoy the squid with-with just plain lemon, grated ginger, horseradish or Mayo. Either ways, what these sauces do is show you just how sweet the meat is on its own, making you go in for another slice.
