Looking through the yakitori section, we found the firefly squid pretty interesting. Grilled over binchotan, it’s not difficult to understand why the firefly squid yakitori was exceptionally smokey. 5 baby squids served on a stick, some might find the brininess offensive, especially with the intact roe. However, the umami and briny taste were actually quite enjoyable over time. You will probably enjoy it further by dipping it into the Japanese 7 spice blend to cut off the strong flavors while adding a hint of spice.
